Their world- Our world The world- Fine without us, but with us without it we have nothing. We would not be living the way we are now if it were not for the astonishing discoveries that those of the first civilizations have brought upon us. How can we pay back to the people who have used up all of their time and recourses to make this world a better place for future generations? We owe a debt that nobody on this planet can be able to push back. Both very powerful yet humble civilizations, the Egyptian and Mesopotamian river valley civilizations have helped develop the future- Our present. The Egyptian River Valley civilization helped humans to improve in lifestyle and to evolve. It also partially helped us to know how many days are in a year,

Do we owe anything to this early but oh- so- powerful civilization? If so, perhaps the reason should be how this pre-historic civilization has helped us of a future generation to improve and stay organized. It all started with one form of writing- cuneiform. This shows that those of the Mesopotamian civilization were very smart. If it was not for the creation of cuneiform, we would not be able to write right now. Cuneiform did not start the form of English writing, but it was a form of writing that helped those of ancient civilizations to stay organized. They pressed symbols into clay which would represent messages and would soon be used to represent other things like laws. . The king (Hamaran) wrote a set of laws which would give safety and certain rights to those of the civilization. One writing system would turn into another, and then there would be hundreds of them separated all around the world. Everybody would be treated equally and if now at this time in the United States, if we did not have any laws and amendments written, the whole country would be a wreck- Crime rates would increase, death rates would increase, people would freely rob others, and nobody will be safe! If cuneiform was never created, Mesopotamia would not have been organized; other civilizations would have not been organized; other generations, and ours! We would not be safe since no contracts and no laws would have been written down and …show more content…
Although this can be true on, they have taught us how to prepare for many things like the weather. They have contributed to keeping us organized since we know how many days and months there are in a year. We would also know when each season would be arriving and leaving. They respected whatever they had and they used natural resources to live full lives. We owe a debt to them because they saw things different from the other civilizations, since they have seen the Nile river as a god. Also, even though many people believe that the Mesopotamian way of writing is difficult to understand and we would not possibly owe them anything for that, let you be reminded that cuneiform was the first system of writing which eventually led to future systems; which led to ours. We are able to write things down and keep record of things (like time and action) because of the Mesopotamians’ way of writing. Languages developed as writing became more and more advanced; If it were not for the people of this civilization, you would not be reading this particular piece right
