Changes in Mesopotamia

In humanities we watched a three minute movie showing mesopotamia, a map and a map with cities. We had to do an activity called see think and wonder. In the Mesopotanian map there were some of the civilizations that we reasearched on the wall of thoughts. The mesopotamian map is far different than our modern map. The mesopotamian map doesn't have cities or borders. In our modern map we have cities towns and borders. Things were different back then. I wondered how come the mesopotamian maps don't have borders don't they own there own land or something. I saw a number of things stars borders and other things. What I thought was were the stars on the map capital cities or something else. The see think wonder was challenging. It took me a while to complete it.
