                   Mesopotamia Trade and Transport

Mesopotamia was a country where it didn't have many natural resources. So Mesopotamia had to trade with countries beside it like syria and Iran.Mesopotamia traded grains, gasoline  and textiles to forgein countries and the other countries traded timber, wine, precious metals and stones. Merchant's used several ways to transport what they traded depending on the item. For example grain was quite huge and was best transported by boat or precious stones were small so they would be transported by foot or donkey.
