Where Time Was Born - part 1 - 00028 by ArtisticPonder

Mesopotamia—the land between rivers—lay cradled by the Tigris and Euphrates, in what is today Iraq, and parts of Syria, Iran and Turkey. It is here, over 5000 years ago, that humanity began to write, to measure, to shape the world with thought made material.

Often called the cradle of civilisation, Mesopotamia gave rise to the first known cities, legal codes, poetry, and trade networks. But perhaps most quietly revolutionary: it was here that time was made. The division of hours into 60 minutes, of days into structured ritual and celestial rhythm, stems from the Sumerians’ sexagesimal system. They watched the stars and counted the breath between shadow and light.

It was not a single civilisation, but many: Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians—each layering knowledge upon the next. And though temples and empires rose and fell, it was the everyday—the shaping of clay, the weaving of linen, the counting of grain—that endured. Culture, here, was not a luxury. It was a way of surviving beautifully.

In Mesopotamia, humans became makers of meaning.

Not through conquest. But through pattern. Through form. Through time.

“Kiln Songs”

They did not know

they were building the spine

of centuries.

A kiln in a courtyard—

a cracked bowl resting

like a sleeping moon.

Laughter braided through fingers

as slip met skin.

Clothes not tailored, but grown—

colours whispered

from plants, ash, and river bones.

They spun stories not in language,

but in glaze,

in fringe,

in the swing of a hip

on market mornings.

Their world had no history yet—

just movement.

Just clay that remembered the hand

that touched it.

River bends her mouth—

hands shape bowls from silt and song.

Dust listens, still warm.

Fringes catch the breeze—

girls in linen, laughing light.

Time forgets their names.

Before stone knew form,

before breath turned into text,

she danced, shaping flame.

Don't Ignore Traffic Lights! by CSUMB Chuo

This sign says, "Don't ignore traffic lights! Children are watching!" It's

something you don't see very much in America. This sign was in a busy part

of Tokyo, so people weren't likely to disobey the traffic lights anyway.

Urmia (Turkish language: Urmu, Urmiyə, اورمیه; farsi: ارومیه‎) variously translitterated as Oroumiyeh, Orūmīyeh and Urūmiyeh, is a city in and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 577,307, with 153,570 households.

Urmia is situated on a fertile plain called Urmia Plain, on western side of Lake Urmia; and eastern side of Turkish border and marginal range of mountains.

Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (especially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown. An important town by the 9th cent., Urmia was seized by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.
