Jenna has just finished learning about Mesopotamia. She built a replica of a Ziggurat out of clay. This is her impression. These Ziggurat’s were almost as large as pyramids, but one could not go inside them, you would climb up the steps on the outside and enter the chamber at the top, which would be filled with guilded furniture and treasures for the gods.
This is Jenna’s painting of Gilgamesh setting out upon the Sun Road. We read the story of Gilgamesh the King, this is one of the oldest stories from the time of Mesopotamia.
This is one of the clay tablets that Jenna made today. She made a stylus from a piece of beading and sanded it into shape. She is practicing the Sumerian alphabet here on this clay tablet. The different directions of the triangles all have a unique meaning.
Mesopotamia really has been an enjoyable block!
