Dubai Advantages And Disadvantages

Mesopotamian and Egyptian cities were very different. Mesopotamian city was much more urban than Egypt and they had their own independent ruler. Egypt did not have their own independent ruler. Egypt’s cities had religious homes that lead to the population’s center. Egypt was larger than Mesopotamia and had a larger population. Mesopotamia was protected by a wall and Egypt was not. Mesopotamian and Egyptian cities were very different.

Over the years the Egyptians had more experience than the Mesopotamians, because the Egyptians had more ideas for making new things. In Ancient Egypt the Egyptians had built pyramid structures and in the Ancient Middle East the Mesopotamians had built ziggurat structures. The Egyptians and the Mesopotamians had most things in common, but they mostly have a lot of differences. The Mesopotamians were the first to develop tools during that time, but over the years the Egyptians had also developed tools but it was real science technology. Another thing is that when it came to women’s rights in Ancient Middle East all the women were owned by their husbands, and in Ancient Egypt the people worshiped women and there was even a woman ruler. Even though Ancient Middle East and Ancient Egypt share written language and both heavily relied on the Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates, rivers the difference between Ancient Middle East and Ancient Egypt is that they both had an opposite view of the afterlife.

Economically, these two civilizations both shared prosperous success in similar manners. One connection between Mesopotamia and Egypt is that they both manipulated their designated rivers to perform critical trade operations by using them as routes. They were able to communicated and send goods with other civilizations in a farther location via the river system. Also, these two civilizations were very productive in the agricultural field due to the strategically created irrigation systems that provided water to their fertile soils to provide lush vegetations in Nile and Sumer. The one difference between Mesopotamia and Egypt in terms of economy is that the Nile government controlled most if not all of the trading monopoly, and they had their citizens pay substantial taxes.

Egypt and Mesopotamia, although similar, are different as a result of one major natural resource: a river. Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia were an agricultural based society that believed in the existence of many deities; however, they differed in the aspect of how they evolved as an agricultural society and whether they feared or praised their gods.

Mesopotamia and Egypt were very different because of their geography and world view. Mesopotamia was often flooded because of their bad geography, but the land around the Nile river was built well so the Egyptians didn 't have to worry about the river flooding as often. The land in Mesopotamia was often attacked and invaded. Ultimately the geography of Egypt was significantly better than Mesopotamia because of the benefits of the nile river created a positive world view, a strong government and a universal religion.

The most significant factor that influenced the development of Egypt and Mesopotamia was the difference in location between the two civilizations, which influenced many different aspects of everyday life and culture. Egypt and Mesopotamia were both located next to rivers, but the distinctions between the rivers greatly impacted the two societies. The two civilizations were located in two very different areas geography-wise, which affected the chances of foreign invaders attacking. The location of the two civilizations also affected their religious beliefs.

Both Mesopotamia and Egypt, between 3000 and 600 B.C.E., had similarities and differences. Both regions shared similar economic structure in regards to agriculture, trade, and taxes. However, Mesopotamia and Egypt differ in regards to religion concerning belief in afterlife, influence of gods, and religious influence on government, as well as technology as it regards weaponry, scientific study, and writing.

One of the biggest similarities between the two civilizations is that they both put an end to the nomadic lifestyle that early humans were living and they shared similar locations. Mesopotamia was located between two rivers known as the Tigris and Euphrates; whereas, Egypt was located along the Nile river.

Egypt and Mesopotamia had many different view on life their views on religion, geography, their government, their beliefs on the afterlife, their relationships between the gods and humans, and etc. The differences can be built off where they were built, the amount of land they had access to, the number of resources they had to, and how their environment was in everyday life. They also had similarities in the fact that they were hard working in their everyday life, the belief of what was a man’s responsibility and what was a females responsibility.

Both had productive agriculture economics that developed and supported complex societies. Even experimented ways to make money/trade other than agriculture. Mesopotamia traded with any other societies. Egypt traded with only Nubia and Mesopotamia. Egypt relied heavily on agriculture due to the Nile River Valley.

Mesopotamia and Egypt had many similarities and differences. Two similarities are their patriarchal societies and their use of metallurgy to produce tools and weapons. Two differences were the different styles of written language and the rule of kings in Mesopotamia verses the rule of pharaohs in Egypt. Mesopotamia and Egypt both used a patriarchal society that vested public and private authority in adult men. For instance, men not only held high positions in government, but also controlled household affairs.

In Egypt, the government was more authoritative and strict like our government today is on its people where as the Mesopotamians had more of a stress on the place as a city or state would. Differences are also evident in building structures because Mesopotamian art was more simplistic than Egyptian. Egypt excelled in art because it was extremely intricate. Mesopotamia also and contained a stronger literature than the Egyptian culture did. Each culture achieved great art, literature, architecture, and religious customs though their methods and style differ.

Brandon Nguyen March 16, 2015 Near East 260 Gary Martin   Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Israel are quite close to each other geographically. Because of the proximity, it would not be surprising to see many similarities within the beliefs of the three regions. Of course, there were some obvious signs of influence from the earlier Egyptian and Mesopotamian systems to the Israelite beliefs, there were also many distinct differences, specifically in religion in combination with government and afterlife practices and beliefs. To begin with, a major point of comparison between the regions was the beliefs in gods and how these beliefs worked along with the government.

In addition to the differences they share culturally, there are differences between Europe and both China and Cairo economically. For example, in European towns, capitalism was practiced. Because there was no formal government dominating in Europe, capitalism allowed merchants to do as they wished without the government’s permission. This contrasts with China and Cairo, as in these civilizations, socialism was exercised. Because of socialism, the merchants of China and Cairo had to have the government’s approval before they were able to make any decisions. This is just one of the many differences between these global civilizations. Because Europe was different than the other global civilizations, such as Cairo and China, it was able to advance and later, dominate world trade. Europe today is one of the most wealthiest places in the world (they have 66% of the world’s wealth, according to Ferguson). They were able to achieve such power and wealth because of the way European towns were
