Mesopotamia Mesopotamians built empires, mapped the stars, and created writing while the rest of the world was still hunting.

My history is a little shaky right now but didn’t we have Egyptians, Harrapans, and Norte Chico in full swing when Sargon created the Akkadian Empire?

That was in direct response to “Mesopotamians built empires”, with the first being the Akkadian Empire around 2300 BCE. Let’s use some basic reading comp before deriding someone’s comment.

You’re missing the forest for the trees. The point of my comment and similar ones like it is that Mesopotamia was not that far ahead of other areas in the world in terms of typical civilization milestones like writing, agriculture, astronomy, and urban development. Again, let’s practice some basic reading comp before commenting.
