Abstract
Entertainment and entertainment are among the things that are necessary for a person, whether young or old, as a necessary social need. In order to renew its activity and spread the spirit of fun and relaxation and keep it away from the problems and difficulties of daily life, the ancient Iraqis mastered finding those means by which they occupied their spare time. The importance of the topic lies in shedding light on the means of entertainment and entertainment in ancient Iraq, and how to employ these means in spreading the manifestations of entertainment and entertainment among the inhabitants of ancient Iraq. As for the reason for choosing this topic, it is to search for the missing aspects with some deduction, to highlight the entertainment and entertainment aspect of the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia. And dancing and singing, and they entertained them with comedy shows, and they practiced various forms of sports and other practices that were characterized by the nature of entertainment and entertainment. He reached the pinnacle of civilian life. From this logic, we have put forward a hypothesis for the message based on interrogative foundations, which is, did entertainment and entertainment contribute to achieving blending and interdependence between the different layers of society? Were these recreational practices restricted to certain classes of people? Or does it include the general public? Did the kings provide entertainment for their people? Did the mentality of the old Iraqi make it possible to benefit from animals and use them to provide something that amuses and entertains the soul? There is no doubt that these questions require a poor effort to interrogate the cuneiform texts and a good reading of the artistic scenes, in order to reach satisfactory answers according to which the purpose and objectives of the study are achieved. The study was divided into an introduction and four chapters, as I dealt with in the preface the most important motives for entertainment and entertainment. As for the first chapter, it was under the title (Entertainment and Entertainment of an Artistic Nature) and this chapter was divided into two sections, the first of which included (music, dance and singing and their positive reflections in spreading the spirit of entertainment and entertainment in the old Iraqi society), while the second topic included (animal comedy and its impact on consolidating the understanding of entertainment and entertainment in the old Iraqi society) The second chapter entitled (entertainment and entertainment of a sports nature) is divided into three sections, the name of the first topic (combat sports and the mechanism of their positive employment to revive the concept of entertainment and entertainment in ancient Iraq), focusing on important sports, including wrestling, rodeo, fencing and boxing, As for the second topic, called (entertainment and entertainment of a physical nature), it included important physical games, including the game of ball and racket, jogging, cart pulling, horse riding, swimming and diving, and with regard to the third topic, which was known as (the effect of fishing and its artistic and written representation in crystallizing the manifestations of amusement). and entertainment in Iraqi society). The third chapter came under the title (Entertainment and entertainment of a social nature), as this chapter was divided into three sections, the first section of which was known as (Feasts and social occasions and their impact on consolidating the concepts of entertainment and entertainment). It was known as (gardens and parks and their positive role in establishing the spirit of entertainment and entertainment in the old Iraqi society), while the third topic was under the name (sexual practice and its impact on consolidating the concept of entertainment and physical entertainment). With regard to the fourth chapter, which was known as (entertainment and entertainment of a cultural and intellectual nature), it was divided into two sections, the first of which was named (Games and Museums and their role in establishing the concept of entertainment and entertainment in Iraqi society), as reference was made to the most important adult games, including the royal game of Ur And the game (Boomerang), and we also touched on children’s toys, riddles and puzzles, and the importance of exhibitions and museums in spreading historical culture, and the second topic was known as (humor and irony and their role in spreading entertainment and entertainment). With regard to the previous studies, there was a group of studies that dealt with the specifics of our subject and dealt with it from a different angle, and these studies varied between Arab and foreign, and we will review these studies that were benefited from with reference to their most prominent features, with a comment on them that includes aspects of agreement and disagreement with Those studies, and a statement of the aspects of benefit from previous studies in the current study. Among these studies is a master’s thesis by Rajiha Khudair Abbas tagged with (Feasts in the Civilization of Mesopotamia), which was submitted to the College of Arts, University of Baghdad. New Year's Eve, Akitu Festival) and touched upon the sacred marriage that permeated the New Year holidays. The second study is a doctoral dissertation by Kamel Taha Elwes, tagged with (the importance of sport in Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt, a historical comparison) submitted to the Faculty of Philosophy, Martin Luther University in Germany, and it dealt with the axis of sport and more focused on the physical aspect, through which he touched on the importance of sport In each of the Iraqi and Egyptian civilizations, and with mentioning the games that these two civilizations knew, it was among the conclusions reached by the ancient Egyptians about the sport of fencing and the game of ball, while there is no evidence in ancient Iraq about these two sports, But he does not deny the Iraqis’ knowledge of it, so we disagree in this part with what Alois brought. After research and scrutiny, we reached through our study the knowledge of the ancient Iraqis about the game of ball and the sport of fencing. Sports and its effect in spreading the spirit of entertainment to the public more than the physical aspect. As for the third study, it was a foreign master's thesis concerning the musical aspect of researcher E. R. Kutzer Evelyn submitted to Leiden University in Munich, tagged with: (The Socio-Cultural Value and) Function of Music On musical instruments and their performances in Mesopotamia of the 3rd millennium BCE from an archaeological, iconographical and philological perspective) Through it, the researcher presented a study on musical instruments and their performance in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BC, based on cuneiform texts and archaeological finds. There is no doubt that the current study has benefited from the previous studies, especially in arranging the archaeological finds related to musical instruments in the third millennium BC, and knowing the most important holidays and the way to revive them in Mesopotamia. In my research, I relied on a selection of foreign and Arabic sources, foremost of which was the University of Chicago Assyrian Dictionary, which is symbolized by the acronym (CAD), as well as from books that benefited the research and provided it with a set of important cuneiform texts, which is the book (Sex and Erotica in Mesopotamian Literature) by its author Gwendolyn Lake, translated by Hisham Shamiya, and the book (Treasures of Darkness) by Thor Keld Jacobsen, translated by Shakir Hajj Mikhlif. One of the most prominent difficulties I faced in preparing this thesis was translating some texts, in addition to compiling a group of sources located in different Arab countries.
