__Sedentary and Urban Living In Mesopotamia__



 Sedentary and Urban living in Mesopotasmia began around the time of 3300 - 331B.C.E. This became possible because the people of Mesopotamia learned to use agriculture and domesticate animals. The people had created a system of laws thatenabled the people to keep order throughout their cities. This was known as Hammurabi's Codes of Laws. This created aclass system. The people of higher class had more power, like the nobles and priests. They also had a way to enforce theirlaws if someone did something bad. This helped their sedentary or urbanized societies in keeping peace throughout the city.They had more permanent type buildings creating their permanent settlements. They had their religious buildings whichalso helped in keeping their cities sedentary and permanent.
