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. Another very significant part of Mesopotamian civilization was government. With the development…

Ancient Egypt is definitely one of the most qualified civilizations to be placed under all seven indicators. And you're just about to learn why. Government and Military was a big part of Egypt. Military ventures can be a source of income - as long as one is successful. Egypt was fortunate in this respect until the Late Period, when it came under the domination of foreign powers. What began with relatively benign occupations by the Libyans, Kushites, Assyrians, and Persians would become…

Ancient Egypt is known for the vast lands of intricate architecture, hieroglyphics, and fascinating culture. My paper will discuss how some of those traits derived from the Hellenistic kingdom of Egypt. From the beginning of Ptolemy’s I Rule – successor of Alexander the Great – in 323 BC until the death of the pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, we focus on the timeline of the phenomenal Ptolemaic Egypt. My research will identify the significant relationship between Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt through…

For any evidence of a civilization ever existing there has to be some form of art or architecture left behind. Clues of a long forgotten government, economy, and social class for scientists to find. Remains of their math and science, religion and literature works left to vanish into thin air. The remnants of Mesopotamia reveal to us that their intellectual achievements were far greater than those of Egypt, in terms of their architecture, economy and government, knowledge in math and science,…

Today I will be talking about the biome I have chosen for my report. I chose the driest landform you would ever hear about, the Desert. There are so many interesting facts about the Desert that I bet you haven’t even heard of. Did you know that Death Valley has a large mass of water underneath it that includes one of the most rarest fish ever. That fish is called the Blue Pufferfish. Some of the desert’s i'm going to be babbling about is the Great Victoria Desert. This desert is located in…

rivers for silt, which was a fertilizer for their crops. They ended up building dams and canals and just had a very complex irrigation system in general. This allowed them to grow abundant amounts of wheat and barley. The Egyptians worshipped the Nile, a river that they considered a god as it provided them with food by watering plants, which allowed trade and prosperity. Similarly, they built irrigation systems and canals in order to actually obtain the water, and they also harnessed the silt…
