    Mesopotamia as ‘the cradle of civilization” was one of the first civilizations- in the modern sense of the word, to arise. It is understandable then that it set the standards for what government, religion, art and culture should be for the countless civilizations that followed it.

Artists of Mesopotamia also set the standards for how generations of artists would interpret the world around them in art.…
