咖啡猫:古希腊称两河流域为“美索不达米亚”(大致在现在的伊拉克境内和叙利亚东部)。“美索不迭米亚”希腊文的意思就是“两条河流间的土地”。这两条河指的就是大名鼎鼎的底格里斯河和幼发拉底河了。很早以前,苏美尔人和亚述人都在这里居住过,关于他们的故事你知道多少呢?发明楔形文字的苏美尔人在公元前3000年,聪明的苏美尔人就在两河流域建立城邦了。由于两河流域盛产芦苇和粘土,苏美尔人想出了一个好办法:用削尖的芦苇杆或木杆在泥板上“压”出一个个笔划,几个笔划组成一个符号。书写完后,经过晒干或烤干,永不消逝的字就留在了泥板上。它的笔划是一头粗一头细,形状很像一个楔子。不过,阿拉伯人入主西亚以后,当地居民的风俗、语言渐渐和阿拉伯人融合,失去了原有的语言,楔形文字也逐渐在人们的记忆中消失了。
Coffee Cats: Ancient Greece called the two rivers “Mesopotamia” (roughly in present-day Iraq and eastern Syria). “Mesopotamia ” Greek means “the land between the two rivers ”. The two rivers refer to the famous Tigris and the Euphrates. So long ago, the Sumerians and Assyrians lived here, how much do you know about their stories? The Sumerian who invented the cuneiform text In 3000 BC, the clever Sumerians were in two River basin to establish a polis. Because of the richness of reeds and clay in the two river basins, the Sumerians came up with a good idea: make a stroke with a sharpened reed rod or wood on the mud board, with a few strokes forming a symbol. After writing, after drying or drying, the word will never fade to stay on the mud board. It’s stroke is a thick, thin, shaped like a wedge. However, after the Arabs entered West Asia, the customs and languages of the local residents gradually merged with the Arabs, losing their original language. As a result, cuneiform characters gradually disappeared in people’s memory.
