Mesopotamian culture had a great impact on development of the later civilizations and its influences can be found in the history of the UAE. Mesopotamians affected development of people living in the area in the Hafit Period in different ways. It has been found that earliest contacts between Mesopotamia and the Oman Peninsula dated as far back as the Middle or even Early Uruk period (Carter, 2013: 581). It is noteworthy that the area had been rather deserted prior to that period but the change of the conditions (the peninsula became wetter with numerous oasis areas) population of the peninsula increased. One of major attractions for Mesopotamians was the area’s rich deposits of copper. The need to have access to these deposits led to Mesopotamian influences in such spheres as trade, agriculture, architecture and art. It is possible to identify two major ways the influence spread: maritime and inland. Notably, maritime expeditions are seen as important factors of the increase of trade between people of Mesopotamia and the Oman Peninsula. There are different views on the reasons why people of southern Mesopotamia expanded trade links with people of the Gulf. Some researchers believe that this was due to “socio-environmental collapse” in this part of Mesopotamia but recent evidence suggest that the interests were fueled by easier access to the Gulf partners rather than northern trade partners (Carter, 2013: 589). Clearly, maritime expeditions to the Oman Peninsula were significantly shorter than inland trips to the Northern part of Mesopotamia. This was especially true for delivery of such heavy cargo as copper and maritime expedition were often the only options for traders of large amounts of this important material. Clearly, maritime trade was not confined to copper trade as Mesopotamians brought such goods as pottery and textile to the Oman Peninsula. There could be other products as well since only a few trading documents are available for researchers. Thus, existing evidence (a number of documents and seal impressions) suggest that the trade contacts were well-established and merchants from Mesopotamia were accustomed to trading with people from the Gulf (Carter, 2013: 591). These trade connections played crucial role in development of the Oman Peninsula. At that, inland trade was also very important for establishment of trade connections between the two territories. While maritime trade was more favorable for development of handicraft and copper production, inland trade had a more significant impact on development of the local culture or rather spread of Mesopotamian traditions and technologies. Caravans of merchants travelled through the Gulf and the Mesopotamian culture was spreading alongside. The trade was the necessary stimulus for development of cities and the knowledge brought enabled local people to develop agriculture, architecture, as well as art. It is necessary to note that researchers found numerous examples of Mesopotamian pottery in the Oman Peninsula. This ceramics revealed conventional patterns used in Mesopotamia. Colors, shapes, patterns and imagery typical of Mesopotamian pottery spread across the Oman Peninsula. Thus, merchants brought those products t
