Mesopotamian Temperament
Where did the specific ratios in the mesopotamian tunings come from? Whythese numbers and no others? After notes. mesopotamian Temperament.
http://www.lightbridgemusic.com/mohmt.htm

Extractions: Where did the specific ratios in the Mesopotamian tunings come from? Why these numbers and no others? After playing with these numbers for a while, I realized that all the ratios in all seven of the tunings are based on just one initial ratio: three over two, or 1.5. This is called a fifth interval, and is the entire basis for the seven Mesopotamian tunings. How could this be? Can the simple fifth account for the ratios 729/512 and 1024/729? It turns out that it can, and thats what well discuss here. ( How the Sumerians, a supposedly primitive people, came up with this scheme is discussed elsewhere.) We will start arbitrarily with a frequency of 400 Hertz. If this is done in a spreadsheet, any starting frequency can be used. We use a nice round number to illustrate how quickly this roundness disappears. And we will also arbitrarily call this note C, since on a modern piano, the major scale in C can be played on the white keys, thus starting as simply as possible. But again, this is an arbitrary selection; any note name could be used. The idea is to multiply each frequency by 3/2 or 1.500, thus determining another note of a scale. Since there are seven white notes in an octave (before then next C is reached), we will repeat this multiplication seven times.

MEDICINE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA

http://www.indiana.edu/~ancmed/meso.HTM

Extractions: Regardless of the risks associated with performing surgery, at least four clay tablets have survived that describe a specific surgical procedure. Unfortunately, one of the four tablets is too fragmentary to be deciphered. Of the remaining three, one seems to describe a procedure in which the asu cuts into the chest of the patient in order to drain pus from the pleura. The other two surgical texts belong to the collection of tablets entitled "Prescriptions for Diseases of the Head." One of these texts mentions the knife of the asu scraping the skull of the patient. The final surgical tablet mentions the postoperative care of a surgical wound. This tablet recommends the application of a dressing consisting mainly of sesame oil, which acted as an anti-bacterial agent. Beyond the role of the ashipu and the asu, there were other means of procuring health care in ancient Mesopotamia. One of these alternative sources was the Temple of Gula. Gula, often envisioned in canine form, was one of the more significant gods of healing. While excavations of temples dedicated to Gula have not revealed signs that patients were housed at the temple while they were treated (as was the case with the later temples of Asclepius in Greece), these temples may have been sites for the diagnosis of illness. In his book Illness and Health Care in the Ancient Near East: the Role of the Temple in Greece, Mesopotamia, and Israel, Hector Avalos states that not only were the temples of Gula sites for the diagnosis of illness (Gula was consulted as to which god was responsible for a given illness), but that these temples were also libraries that held many useful medical texts.

Extractions: Horses were used in Assyria both for riding and pulling chariots, primarily for military purposes but also for hunting. Ashurbanipal, improved riding techniques which allowed soldiers to control their own mounts while at the same time using bows and spears. In Assyrian times, both ridden and draught horses were controlled in essentially the same way, that is, by a bridle consisting of headstall, reins and bit. This dynamic reproduction is made after the original from Nineveh, 668-631 BC. Made in resin with a bronze finish. It measures 16"H x 16"L x 5.5"W.

Extractions: Introduction Millennia ago the fertile low lands in the river basins of Euphrates and Tigris was the home land of a rich and complex society. These civilizations were saved from oblivion by the unexpected discovery in the previous century of complete libraries in the archeological remains. Thousands of clay tablets, written in a cuneiform writing system, are buried deep under the ruins of ancient cities, when they were sacked and set into fire. The clay tablets, usually only sun-dried and stored on (inflammable) wooden shelves, are often inadvertently baked while a city was destroyed and treasures were removed. Clay was not valuable to treasure hunters and robbers in later times and clay tablets (at least until the 19th century CE) were left untouched and thus saved for eternity.

Extractions: Around 2350 BC an important change took place: the conversion from local competing city states to the first regional state, an empire in Mesopotamia. It was a change of political power, with more emphasis on the northern parts in the plains of Mesopotamia. Trade contacts are purposely centralized with the newly found city Akkad as its center. In art people are now depicted more naturalistic as well proportioned man with anatomic details. Figures on stela and cylinder seals show details in context as opposed to earlier independent elements. Proper names of rulers are more often Semitic. Akkadian as a Semitic language now penetrates into the texts, although the Sumerian culture will still exists for centuries to come. The Sumerian language is a scholarly and liturgical language. Royal inscription are now bi-lingual. The text corpus (Royal inscriptions and charters) from this age is called Old Akkadian, abbreviated as OAkk.. The period is well defined: after the last ruler of the dynasty of Akkad, Sumerian revives (the Neo Sumerian Renaissance) and one hears little more about Akkadian until the Old Babylonian period. Archeological excavations with full stratification results in this period are limited in number, but there seem to be no major technological advancement apart from the continuing Bronze Age. Ceramics aren't dramatical different from mass production in the previous Early Dynastic-III period, nor in the following Ur-III period. Royal inscriptions , cylinder seals and clay tablets are not found in abundance, difficult to date and with a large spread in geographical locations.

Extractions: A Mesopotamian Pantheon The people of the two rivers are responsible for the worlds oldest civilization, if writing is taken as the measure of culture: that art first appears here around 3200 BCE or a little earlier. Mesopotamia has been the homeland for a bewildering variety of peoples and nations, and the following archive reflects that. It should be kept in mind that the various divinities mentioned below came not only from different City-States, but even different ethnic groups: a brief reference to the various ethnic groups and city-states follows the main section. This page is intended as a reference guide for students of Mesopotamian mythology, and is a catalogue, hopefully reasonably complete, of known Mesopotamian God-forms. The information here is necessarily brief; a full accounting of all these entities would be a massive book in its own right. What is included here is: a Name, ( Nationality or City-State ), any important epithets or sobriquets that are associated with the Name, and a basic description of spheres of influence, attributes, and/or descriptive stories.

Extractions: II: MESOPOTAMIAN LANDSCAPES North and east of the Deh Luran plain are the rugged Zagros mountains. Great folds of conglomerate and limestone reach over 2000 meters in altitude, trapping winter rains coming from the west, and sustaining oak forests. These highlands have mild summers, and wet cold winters, with deep snow accumulations. Today the forests are scattered, but before 3000 B.C. with more rainfall and less grazing by goats and sheep, they were probably much denser. This region is a source of woods, various stones, and good summer grazing. Trails lead from Deh Luran up into these mountains and beyond to the high Iranian plateau, rich in stones and metals.

These include the many epic struggles fought along the banks of the River Tigris; from the seemingly unstoppable advance of the British throughout 1915 to the resurgence of their Turk opposition in 1916 culminating in the British humiliation at Kut-al-Amara in April 1916. British fortunes revived however with the appointment of Sir Frederick Stanley Maude as regional Commander-in-Chief, as success after success finally led to complete British victory in the region in October 1918.
