Ancient Mesopotamia Song By Mr. Nicky
Ancient History
Mr. Nicky sings his song about Ancient Mesopotamia.
Got a new lesson for you from Ancient Mesopotamia. The Euphrates River and the Tigris River form the cradle of civilization.
Awwwwwww! Akkadians long ago
Conquered Sumer took control
Sargon led their armies in their chariots they roll
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Persian Gulf, they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots of excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Both the Euphrates River
And the Tigris River used to flood
Bringing lots of fertile mud
But the problem was that
Water washed away the crops
Dams and levies made it stop
When it was dry they'd irrigate
Fighting over water led
To war between the city-states
Cuneiform was ancient writing
It tells that Sumer city-states were always fighting
They were the first civilization in Mesopotamia
Then came the Akkadian who started empire mania
Akkadians long ago
Conquered Sumer took control
Sargon led his armies In their chariots they roll
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Near the Persian Gulf is where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots of excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
King Sargon got really old
Told his sons to take the throne
But the huge Akkadian Empire
Would fall out of their control
Then came Hammurabi
Who would take full command
Hammurabi was the king
Of the Babylonians, man Babylonia
Was the land
Where they told ya
You'll obey Hammurabi's code
Praise Hammurabi's code Break Hammurabi's code
And you'll be saying oh no

Babylonians built roads
They traded grain for gold
They kept themselves united
Under Hammurabi's code
Hammurabi's code
Hammurabi's code
Hammurabi's code
Hammurabi's code
Which was a bunch of laws
The believed it had no flaws
They obeyed it just because
The thought Hammurabi was
Chosen by the gods. Ohhh!
Chosen by the gods. Ohhh!
