Egypt was isolated because it was surrounded by the Eastern and Western Deserts, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient Mesopotamian civilization was affected by other empires that took control over Mesopotamia, including; Babylon, Sumer, Akkadian Empire, etc., while Egypt was mainly isolated and was a unified society. Early Egypt took the idea of writing, a main part of culture, from Mesopotamia, re-invented it from scratch, and used their writing in a similar context as Mesopotamia did which shows that Egypt was indirectly influenced by Mesopotamia. Being mainly isolated from other civilizations affected not only Egyptian culture, but it also affected their religious…
The last factor to consider is geography and land. Evidence suggests people progressively became sedentary, building large municipal centers and cemeteries and small farming villages. However, it is unclear how far their settlements reached, as much of it may have been destroyed to make room for new buildings or have modern cities built on top of them. This hinders our ability to find complete settlement patterns and how they may have compared with other civilizations at the time. The rigid restrictions of habitable land also meant that any form of connection (namely unification and trade) between Upper and Lower Egypt grew relatively fast, and would easily evolve to have a shared government, religious beliefs and practices, and overall culture.…

Mesopotamia, an ancient region in the eastern Mediterranean, is one of the earliest civilizations. Civilization began when the nomads settled and began an attempt at farming. The land of Mesopotamia was fertile and the geography had a big role in the development of civilization because it provided basic living needs for the people by allowing them to farm and use timber and other natural resources.

With the development of government, the people had a basic set of laws that they needed to follow which allowed for structure and organization.…
