The ancient Mesopotamian kitchen was a central part of daily life in ancient Mesopotamia. Mesopotamian kitchens were equipped with hearths, clay ovens, and various cooking utensils. Soapstone countertops were commonly used in ancient Mesopotamian kitchens due to their heat resistance and durability. Adding a soapstone countertop to a kitchen island can bring a touch of ancient Mesopotamian charm and functionality to your home, creating a space that is both historically inspired and practical for modern cooking.
