Welcome to Hip Hughes. We're going to be hitting you up with a little bit of history dealing with one of the earliest civilizations that develops in a region of the world called Mesopotamia. And I'm not messing with you. This is perfect if you're in school, maybe you're doing an assignment, maybe you have a test tomorrow, or maybe you're just cray cray on the internet. Either way, we're going to giddy up for the learning and we're going to go get her done right now. So as we discussed in the previous lecture on the Neolithic Revolution, kind of the end of the caveman as people begin to sit down and settle and relax and build stuff, we really get different pockets around the world. And one of those earlier pockets is in the Crescent Valley in the Middle East in a land called Mesopotamia.
