Complex Societies The ancient complex societies of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Harappa had a lot of things in common as well as some differences in their civilizations.

But back then these civilizations had some interesting facts in common for example, the three of these civilizations developed around rivers, since they live so near to rivers their…

Ancient Egypt consists of two regions located in North-Eastern Africa: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, the delta. At this time, Egypt consisted of mostly hot, dry desert, though there was some fertile land with rich soil, mostly up north and along the nourishing river. Through Egypt runs the longest river in the world, the Nile River. This river was believed to be flooded by the will of the gods almost every year, mandatory for the growth of the Egyptian’s crops. Not only was it important for the…
