Imagine playing with building blocks to make a big castle. That's what the people in Mesopotamia did, except they used bricks made of mud instead of blocks made of plastic. They used these mud bricks to build huge walls around their city to protect themselves from danger.

Uruk was home to many different people, and they all worked together to build big buildings that were very tall and strong. They also built temples to worship their gods and goddesses. Inside these temples, they would make offerings to the gods with special objects and food.

One of the most famous things about Uruk is a story called the Epic of Gilgamesh. This story is one of the oldest stories in the world and is about a king who lived in Uruk a long time ago. The story tells about Gilgamesh's adventures and how he learned to be a good leader. People still read this story today to learn about the people who lived in Mesopotamia a very long time ago.
