I think that if I went back in time it would be really cool. I would possibly bring something like a car or something to see how much more advanced it is when I got home. I would be able to learn about there life and bring back some of the artifacts. I think it would be awesome. We could learn a lot more about how civilization was made and how they invented the important things they did. And if they even called it mesopotamia.

@ Gred Heffley - Is there anything bad that you think might happen?

Greg Heffley

4/10/2014 03:34:33 pm

@Icestone, if you are talking about taking a car back in time then I think that someone along time ago would have crashed and died so I wouldn't be alive so that could be bad.

Like and iphone and when you got back it would be really advanced.

@GH - Unfortuantely the rules stipulate that you can't bring anything like a vehicle back to that time. What tools would you take to share with the Mesopotamians?

Greg Heffley

4/10/2014 03:35:55 pm

I would probably take basic things like a hammer and saw so they could craft there tools to be more like ours. And I would take a pencil and paper.

Going back to the Mesopotamian times would be an extraordinary adventure. Meeting their people and learning their ways is one of scientist's biggest wishes. Mesopotamians created so many things, and we don't even know if they had made more. Even though this would be amazing, it would also be extremely dangerous. Mesopotamians had a set of laws that were more than cruel. Cutting off people's hands if they committed a crime, drowned them if they lied and other atrocious governmental decisions were in their book of rules. All in all, going back to meet the Mesopotamians would be very exciting indeed.

Great job in your post! How would you feel about not having technology/your phone in Mesopotamia?

Well going back to Mesopotamia and growing up there wold be very interesting considering if I knew what I know now. if I would choose a job I would be a scribe because I love writing and reading so that would be good. I would also make clothes out of very rare materials that cost a lot. I would make sure to have a water proof house. I would have 1 slave to help with cleaning and making food, but I would treat them well and be very nice to them in return.

Mr. Hong

@ Princessa - What precious metals would you use? Where do you think you would obtain these metals? Where did they get their precious metals?

princesa

4/10/2014 02:49:16 pm

@Mr. Hong
I would get like the finest wool from sheep and skins form other animals and dyes from like plants and jewels for design on it from traders from other city's.

Going back in time to the age of the Mesopotamians would be like living in the slums and having not your usual nice clothes and all these fancy things we have nowadays and needing to go hunt for your food and cook on a stone plate over a fire. But it would also be very amazing to see what they actually lived like and how they could have lived differently than how we know they live and or what they'd have done.

@SAM - What do you mean by "slums" and the Mesopotamians didn't really need to go hunting anymore because of their farming.

Mr. Hong

4/10/2014 01:57:12 pm

@ Sam - What aspect of their civilization would you be most interested in learning about?

Traveling back in time to the age of the Mesopotamians would probably be very different and unusual. Many things wouldn't have been invented like phones, iPods, and computers. I would also be scared because you could get your hand cut off and other un-necessary laws. On the other hand, it would also be a great experience because of the clay tablets and amazing monuments. After exploring Mesopotamia, I would want to go back to the present.

Mr. Hong

4/10/2014 01:58:36 pm

@V2000 - Would you be interested in learning about how their government was formed and how their leaders were elected?

Spongebob

4/10/2014 10:54:07 am

What it would be like to go back to Mesopotamia is it would be so much less of an advanced world as we have today, it would be almost scary. There would be no electronics, no cars, nothing. No schools, no jobs, the only food would be farm food. It would be so much harder then life today.

Mr. Hong

4/10/2014 02:00:09 pm

@ Spongebob - Do you depend on your iPhone? Would you be able to survive without it? What was life like before you got one? How do you think the Mesopotamians survived without digital devices?

Gaia

To go back in time to Mesopotamia would be amazing because then I would be able to see what it was really like,how they really lived and interacted. I could bring a devise to take photos and videos and write all my discoverys down. It would be a very big thing for humanity,I think

Butterflypuppy

@Gaia
I lost your post and saying what you would do but how would you wright your discovery down would you bring pan and paper or would you want to try there clay tablets?

Yogi Bear

I think it would be pretty cool to go back in time to Mesopotamia. Unless I accidentally broke a law and got my eyeball poked out or my hand cut off. Although I think it would be pretty amazing because you would be able to experience what life was like when the Mesopotamians lived.

Spongebob

4/10/2014 12:36:14 pm

@ Yogi Bear,
How would it be harder? Would it be harder?

Mr. Hong

4/10/2014 02:02:26 pm

@ Yogi Bear - What do you think would be the most interesting aspect about their culture?

Teddy bear

4/10/2014 12:44:52 pm

Going back to Mesopotamian times would be hard and different. There would be no cars, phones, or grocery store. So it would be difficult to buy food, or move faster. I need to farm, and get food by my self. Also if I broke the law, I need to cut off my hand. It would be dangerous and hard to live in Mesopotamian times.

Judy Moody

4/10/2014 01:12:53 pm

It would be really interesting to go back in time to mesponptamia, because you would be able to see the difference between how much our world has changed. Although, you woudn't have technology like phones, iPods, and cameras. Not even the internet! And if you broke a law, there are really big and serious punishments. Such as, getting your hand cut off, getting drowned, losing your son, and getting your eye pocked out.

Cookielover

4/10/2014 01:27:38 pm

It would be awesome to go back in time and see some stuff that happened like see dinos and see what colors they were. Imagine if you took a car back in time and when you came back there were hover cars every where and the buildings were futuristic and there moving sidewalks too! it would be amazing to see. Or if you went back to Mesopotamian ages and saw what other inventions they made.

Juliette

4/10/2014 02:00:47 pm

Good post. Going back in time and coming back to find out that hover cars were made would be awesome! Maybe you could add more detail on mesopotamia but other then that good job!

Gooner

If I were to go back to Mesopotamia I would bring food and jewelry so if I choose to live there I could have stuff to trade. If I lived in Mesopotamia I would want to be a teacher. I would want to be a teacher because than I could teach kids all about stupid the was going to happen. Also I could show them how to write and I've always wanted to be a teacher anyway. Another thing I would do is teach them how to make 20th century stuff (If I was smart enough to know that) that's what I would do while I was in Mesopotamia but when I got back I would take a whole bunch of priceless stuff and show the modern world.

Juliette

4/10/2014 01:57:36 pm

Personally I think going back to Mesopotamia would be terrible, I think this because they weren't very understanding about their laws and physical labor would be extremely tough because they didn't have the technology we have today to lift heavy items, Nails,Hammer, Screw driver, power tools etc... Also trying to make money and support your family would be much more difficult because there isn't as many jobs then as there is now.

If I had went back in time to Mesopotamia, it would be fun to experience what we had to do back then by farming, writing and more. Then we could learn more about the past. One thing I would be really interested in doing when I travel back is search for lost scrolls and treasure.

Pancake

4/10/2014 03:24:59 pm

@Oracle
Why would you want to search for scrolls and treasure?

Pancake

4/10/2014 03:22:51 pm

If I went to Mesopotamia it would be a lot different because they would have no technology what so ever. They would also have slaves and not fare lifestyle. It would be very hard for me to watch people be slaves. I find it very sad that they had slaves and would try to stop slavery. Also it would be a lot different having very harsh laws. I would be afraid about every little thing I do. Over all it would be a lot different there and I'm not sure if I would like it.

Butterflypuppy

4/11/2014 12:46:48 am

If I went back in time to the Mesopotamian people I think it would be very cool and also to be looking at people build and invent stuff right in front of me. Mostly it would be really cool to compare how different our life's are and how there life's are.

Bobby Orr

4/11/2014 12:59:25 am

In my personal opinion it would not be super fun to go back to Mesopotamia, because of a lot of things like the laws. They were so strict then stuff like if you stole you got a limb cut off stuff like that. Also the food doesn't seem like it would be great just because they probably don't have a huge selection of what to eat, unless you are the king then a whole bunch of rules apply differently.

Ichigo

4/11/2014 01:25:41 am

If I went back to the mesopotamian times, I would probably hide myself away, just because I don't want to risk my life getting hurt by the law. I would also probably know how to do a few things they never thought of though. Maybe I could teach some people how to speak English and make money off of it. I could also find a way to teach them how to run a school. There would be many things to show or teach them. But I'd prefer to stay in Canada.

Condie

4/11/2014 01:29:29 am

Assuming we wouldn't be able to come back, it would be hard. The transition from this life to one so far back would be extremely difficult. We would have to learn a completely new language, new clothes and newer and stricter laws forcing whatever gender you were to go and do certain things, so I'd rather not go.

jumpergirl

4/11/2014 01:42:50 am

Going back to Mesopotania would be exiting but dangerous because what if they didn't know who I was and they would hurt me or even kill me.
I would stay there for a while and make money by selling tar and other goods. I would want to have a 2 story house and be a priest for sure and maybe even bring things to the king.
If I teleported their I would bring my friend Taylor and we would steal all the goodies and shekels and teleport back.
