Mesopotamian Art


The following examples below show just some of the art shown to be present in the Mesopotamian time period. From my perception, it seems to be very eygptian styled with things being carved out of stone and having a sandy look & feel. The carvings and paintings on the wall mean something ritually based to them and has a story behind them. In this case, it normally involves the gods and deities that they followed and shows the small myths and legends that were present in that day. The link below the pictures represents more about what the art meant in the Mesopotamian time period.
