I see mesopatamia...

In class today we did i see, i think, i wonder. It was hard for me to say i see red lines because i wanted to skip that part. My group decided to fade the ancient map and the google map half way so we could compare ancient world nations and cities to the modern day nations and cities. We saw that some cities didn't seem to change at all while some cities changed names and some just dissapeared. we also noticed that new cities popped up everywhere. My group also noticed that all cities modern and ancient where in a green part of the map. The green part was always close to water. I know that water makes vegetation grow so inferred that the green areas where vegetation. If all cities where near water and grass and trees and fruit there must be something special about this area. I thought back to the basic needs humans have. Food and water. This tells me that all cities where buillt near sources of food and water. Thats why theese cities still stand today, because humans had no problems living there. For countries i noticed that some ancient civilizations where in the same place as modern countries. This makes me thisnk that some countries changed over times because of conflict and other reasons but some ended up in about the same place. This is what my group basicly talked about.
