Greetings! What can you tell me about the history of Mesopotamia? 
 Hello! Did you know that Mesopotamia housed housed historically important cities including Uruk, Nippur, Nineveh, Assur, and Babylon. 
 I've heard of Babylon and Nineveh, but not those other nations. Cool! Were there any interesting historical people from Mesopotamia? 
 Important historical Mesopotamian leaders include Ur-Nammu (King of Ur), Sargon of Akkad, (established the Akkadian Empire), Hammurabi (established the Old Babylonian sate), Ashur-uballit and Tiglath-Pileser I (established the Assyrian Empire). 
 Impressive list! Hammurabi sounds familiar. Do you have any more historical information on him? 
 I can tell you that famous for his set of laws, the Code of Hammurabi, he was the most renowned of historical Mesopotamian leaders. 
 Nice. What was the government like in Mesopotamia? 
 The codes of Urukagina and Lipit Ishtar is one of the earliest sets of laws found and one of the best preserved examples of such a type of document from ancient Mesopotamia. 
 Do you have any information on its military? 
 I do not have any information on its military, but with western parts of Mesopotamia coming under ephemeral Roman control, Mesopotamia became a battleground between the Romans and Parthians. 
 I see. Can you share one last fun fact with me about Mesopotamia? 
 Sure! Babylonian astronomy served as the basis for much of Byzantine, Central Asian, classical Indian, Greek, medieval Islamic, Sassanian, Syrian, and Western European astronomy. 
 Thank you for today's informative session!
