Ancient Cultures Special #3- Ancient Mesopotamia

Postby SerenWish » Wed May 15, 2013 1:48 am

Here is # 3 in my “Ancient Cultures” series- Ancient Mesopotamia! These ponies are all based on ancient cultures- their customs, history, and myths. Each one is special, for more reasons then just appearance!

-All of the ponies are based on a different culture.
-They all come in unusual colors and/or patterns.
- All of them have a special accessory.
-They are all customizable- you can have painted markings (like glyphs, etc.) added if you win them, all you have to do is ask!
- All of these ponies can pass down accessories to their foals! Not just the ones you see either!

In order to win this fella, just fill out the form! I will be judging on effort in the creative area, interesting names, and of course, correct answers in the trivia portion! Don’t worry if you aren't sure of the answers, correct answers boost your likelihood of winning him, but a good creative piece goes just as well.

This stallion’s foals can have: Cuffs, Draped Cloth (Shown), Tasseled Halter. (Some accessories might cost a bit extra to get, depending on how difficult they are.)

Mesopotamia was one of the oldest large-scale civilizations that this world has known. They even housed a wonder of the world! They had a very interesting culture, and they left behind fragments of their once-strong culture- in fact, remants of that culture still remain in what is now Syria/Iraq today! So, for this creative piece, I would like you to find me a picture/painting of Babylon, but also I'd like for you to write a story (drawing is allowed too) to show what living in Mesopotamia was like in his eyes. It can be short or long- remember, effort is key!
