Inscription with the word Metsamor (in Armenian Մեծամոր) is a city of the Armavir Marz, Armenia. The city was founded in 1979 to house the staff of the Metsamor nuclear power plant. It was also a very important archaeological site, essentially a Bronze Age city from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BC, where copper mining took place on a major scale and was a major source of bronze production. However, it remained a major site of the Urartian period (from the ninth to the sixth century BC) and was even occupied in the middle Ages.

Inscription avec le mot Metsamor (en arménien Մեծամոր) est une ville du marz d'Armavir, en Arménie. La ville a été fondée en 1979 afin de loger le personnel de la centrale nucléaire de Metsamor. C’était aussi un site archéologique très important, essentiellement une ville de l’âge du bronze, du IIIe au IIe millénaire avant notre ère, où l’extraction du cuivre a eu lieu à une échelle majeure et qui a été une source majeure de production de bronze. Cependant, il resta un site majeur de la période urartienne (du IXe au VIe siècle avant notre ère) et fut même occupé au Moyen Âge.

Mesopotamia

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Mesopotamia is a historical region in Western Asia situated within the Tigris–Euphrates river system, in modern days roughly corresponding to most of Iraq, Kuwait, parts of Northern Saudi Arabia, the eastern parts of Syria, Southeastern Turkey, and regions along the Turkish–Syrian and Iran–Iraq borders.The Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.
Around 150 BC, Mesopotamia was under the control of the Parthian Empire. Mesopotamia became a battleground between the Romans and Parthians, with western parts of Mesopotamia coming under ephemeral Roman control. In AD 226, the eastern regions of Mesopotamia fell to the Sassanid Persians. The division of Mesopotamia between Roman (Byzantine from AD 395) and Sassanid Empires lasted until the 7th century Muslim conquest of Persia of the Sasanian Empire and Muslim conquest of the Levant from Byzantines. A number of primarily neo-Assyrian and Christian native Mesopotamian states existed between the 1st century BC and 3rd century AD, including Adiabene, Osroene, and Hatra.
Mesopotamia is the site of the earliest developments of the Neolithic Revolution from around 10,000 BC. It has been identified as having inspired some of the most important developments in human history including the invention of the wheel, the planting of the first cereal crops and the development of cursive script, mathematics, astronomy and agriculture.
