How do the geography and earlier history of Mesopotamia help to explain the importance of trade to both the Assyrians and Babylonians?
If you can answer this, it'll be great help ^^
Thanks!
Mesopotamia's rivers (Tigris and Euphrates) are key to their civilization. Because of the rivers Sumerians (Mesopotamia's people) could trade and travel through them. Grain, oils and textiles were taken from Babylonia to foreign cities and exchanged for timber, wine, precious metals and stones. In addition, merchants from other countries travelled to Babylonia to exchange their goods.
