The architecture of Mesopotamia is

ancient architecture of the region
of the Tigris–Euphrates river
system (also known as
- MESOPOTAMINA Mesopotamia), encompassing
several distinct cultures and
spanning a period from the 10th
millennium BC (when the first
permanent structures were built) to
the 6th century BC. Among the
Mesopotamian architectural
accomplishments are the
development of urban planning,
the courtyard house, and
ziggurats. No architectural
profession existed in
Mesopotamia; however, scribes
drafted and managed construction
for the government, nobility, or
royalty.
