How Did Civilization Impact Ancient Civilizations

Beginning with Mesopotamia, according to McKay Mesopotamia was part of the Fertile Crescent, which was where the first agriculture developed (McKay, 35). Moving from Mesopotamia to the city-state Sumer, many farmers brought with them their farming tools and trade abilities so that they could successfully farm in warmer, more arid climates (McKay, 35). Irrigation was a major part of the process and was needed for them to succeed. As the civilization grew, people built temples in Mesopotamia, where farmers would use them to store food items and animals. To the Mesopotamian people, the belief of Polytheism, which is that of many Gods controlling the earth and world, brought a distinct outlook on life (McKay, 36). Sumerian

The two rivers had a delta which was called the Fertile Crescent. This was because of its crescent-like shape and because of how fertile it was due to the two rivers depositing rich silk into it, giving it the ability to support agriculture. The two rivers were incredibly important to the ancient Sumerians because it supplied them with water for their irrigation systems. They were able to also dump their sewage as well. The water gave them mud to use as clay for building. The river led them to the concept of regional government, which was used to manage their irrigation systems, consequently resulting in them creating a city-state. Unlike the Chinese and Harappan people, the Sumerians left behind records that we today are able to decipher. Their writing system was called ‘cuneiform’, which they wrote on clay tablets. This tell us that the Sumerians were civilized and organized. Unlike the Chinese, they utilized their time to learn how to read and write instead of fighting

Ancient civilizations made some important contributions to our life today. They started around 3500 BC. Ancient civilizations also achieved many things. Some of those things were new inventions, the use of new technology, writing systems and architectural skills. Two of the many civilizations that did these things were the Chinese and Egyptians.

Many ancient civilizations have changed the way we live today. Sumerians invented the first language, Hammurabi invented the first set of laws, Egyptians created pyramids, and so many other ways that ancient people made the building blocks of the way our society lives today. It amazes me how God gave us brains to figure out ways to make life so much easier!

The Sumerians created a civilization located in the Fertile Crescent, or Mesopotamia, which is located in the Middle East. The legendary ruler of the Sumerians, Hammurabi, was famous for his set

Most people believe that all ancient civilizations were the same: they all lived with a steadfast loyalty to their one and only king that ruled all of the lands, civilizations only achievements were monumental buildings, and they vacuously attacked neighboring societies to gain more land for millennia. While some of this knowledge is true to an extent, civilizations accomplished an abundance more than some realize. Some fail to register that early civilizations are unique from each other. Egypt and Mesopotamia were two distinct civilizations. Despite similarities such as both being river civilizations, Egypt and Mesopotamia contrasted with each other in the areas of, type of ruling, religion, and

cilvilizations and ancient cultures were able to be successful in their way of life. Ancient cultures in this case Mesopotamia and Egypt were sucessful in both their different and same unique ways, weather it'll be in term of their beliefs, way of life, or how the civilization were being govern, each have their own ways to sucess and are able to pass on that knowledge to the future generation. Ancient cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt are able to develop into sucessful civilization by their governors being able to create a laws for civilians to follow, geographic luck of how Fertile Creasant and Nile river help out each civilizations to survive and grows, and beliefs of how in order to be happy and successful with their way of life, each culture must keep their gods happy in many uniqe ways, which all these points were the reason why the Mesopotamia

Early civilizations and empires of the Middle East and Egypt developed several distinct characteristics. Babylon, Ancient Israelites, and Egypt developed characteristics that included governmental, social, and economic structures as well as distinct religions and innovations. These civilizations and empires existed between 2,575 B.C. - 323 B.C. and most of them had notable rulers.

Mesopotamia is a rich flat plain created by deposits from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. At the southern end of this plain developed the first recognizable civilization, in the area known as Sumer. In 3000 B.C. Sumer contained a dozen or more city-states, each ruled by its own king and worshiped its own patron deity. The citizens of these city-states were classified into three classes: nobles and priests, commoners, and slaves. In the center of a

These emerging civilizations were much larger than the earlier ones of Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley and Shang China – displaying more complex political, economic, cultural, and military organization. All civilizations traded with others and many conquered new territories. Classical civilizations include those such as Zhou and Han China, the Gupta Empire in India, and the Mediterranean civilizations of Greece and Rome.

In our modern world we have so many impacts from past civilizations that help make the world as it is today. We can trace these impacts all the way back to the Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures for example. Both civilizations appeared at approximately at the same time period, between 3000 and 3500bc. Many people argue that the Egyptians had so much influence on the modern world, but if you read up on the Mesopotamian civilization it really seems to be ultimately the civilization to have it all and to provide the most impact on the modern world. While both civilizations had many things in common i.e. - government, religion, art, technology etc., the Mesopotamians seemed to have developed their civilization into a more in-depth and multi-faceted complex society.

The Sumerians remain in history as one of the first ever recorded people to have a stable society and culture. From their creation story to the end of their lives on earth, the Sumerians followed their religion in accordance to their gods. They lived their whole lives through their religion, making it a huge part of their culture.

Ancient civilization contributed a large amount to today's society. An example would be King Hammurabi of Babylon in Mesopotamia. He had created a list of rules to unify his domain together and also " provide order and protection for the weak". This was the earliest set of written laws recorded in history and inspired many others to do the same as it has been seen and reported in other civilizations such as marriage rules in Ancient Rome and Israel. Another civilization that greatly influence societies are the citizens who settled along the Indus River. The ruins that have been discovered along the Indus Valley depict sophisticated layouts and mapping of housing, infrastructure, and plumbing. Engineers being innovative with building material

The project was to present how these ancient civilizations have impacted our new modern way of life, positively, and negatively. Borobudur which is located in Java, Indonesia, was a Hindu and Buddhist Temple, during the 9th to 14th century. It was also an Islam Temple during the 11th to 14th century. Built around 732 CE, this temple has helped define culture in Indonesia.

A video on YouTube called “Mesopotamia” by Pirieenzo and narrated by Simon Chilvens tells the story of the Sumerians, the oldest known civilization. It is said that for nearly five thousand years, in the Iraqi desert, the Sumerians invented writing and the wheel. They divided time into minutes and seconds and built gigantic cities. The Sumerians loved culture and the arts. It is stated that their caravans crossed the desert opening up the first trade groups. The Sumerians’ stories inspired our founding myths and their memories lives on the Old Testament writing the history of the mankind. However, this brilliant civilization died leaving its very existence as a mystery.
