Why we chose culture
We chose culture because we wanted to learn more about
what they did in everyday life. Also we wanted to know the
types of religions in Mesopotamia. We learned some facts in
class but we wanted to know more so we chose culture. Plus
we wanted to know more than other people so we can learn
more when they are still learning what we just learned. That
is why we chose culture to study.
