Ancient Civilizations Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India are some of the early civilizations, that helped to shape the world as we know it. Each ancient civilization had many contributions to society. Some would include irrigation, grid like house system, and written languages. Ancient Egypt is one of the most common ancient civilizations. We all know them for the pyramid but that 's not all that they achieved.
Throughout history, Egypt was one of the greatest societies for many reasons. The Egyptian society lasted from 3100 BCE to 30 BCE. It was ruled by multiple pharaohs, one of the most important being Queen Hatshepsut as she was the first female pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. In addition, the geography of the region helped the Egyptian people immensely as the Nile River provided a way of transportation improved soil conditions. Lastly, their architectural advancements made their society great as it created a way of spiritual life for all people.
In ancient times the pharaoh was seen as the king and the religious leader. The pharaoh was the high priest of every temple in egypt. As the most revered person in all of egypt the pharaoh started to take the mantle of a god and was the mediator between the people and the gods. This allowed the pharaoh to be revered and respected by his people as they were a manifestation of a god on earth. This allowed them to do very little wrong in the eyes of the everyone.
Ancient Egypt was ruled by a person called a Pharaoh. These Pharaohs were like kings and emperors. The Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was the political and religious leader of the people.

Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization because it included all the seven indicators. About 1000 years before Ancient egypt became a civilization people were hunters and gatherers, therefore they didn’t stay in one place for very long. Once they discovered the dirt near the nile was fertile they started to farm. After they discovered that you could farm and raise livestock they started to grow towns and cities. As the population went up Ancient Egypt began to become complex civilization.
Although the Mesopotamians and Egyptians of 3500 to 1500 B.C.E. were similar due to social hierarchy and power roles, nevertheless, the differences between Mesopotamians and Egyptians are evident with politics. This is because of the way Egyptians saw opposing countries as enemies and how Mesopotamians saw other countries as trading partners. The Mesopotamians viewed their priests as extremely powerful people, believing that priests were connected spiritually to the gods and worked hard to appease the gods. The priests would use this to their advantage. For example, selling amulets to citizens to ‘ward off evil spirits’ was just a business move for the priests to make more money and keep their power.
I agree with Wright because in the reader it talked mostly about how white readers were humble on Negro writing. White readers that Negroes reading and writing was astonishing to them. White readers never offered any serious criticism to their writing. Wright also mention that it wasn’t any deep concern on the part of Negro on the part Negro writing playing a role in America culture. As reading “blueprint for Negro writing” I see that the white people were amazed with the Negro writing and wanted it to be in America culture for them also.
Civilization is the cooperation between individuals within a region. The first civilizations were Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. Both civilizations acquired a different environment.

Throughout time civilizations have risen and collapsed. Some were conquered while others simply disappeared. The Egyptian civilization thrived near the Nile River from 3000 B.C. and was later conquered by the Persian Empire around 525 B.C. In the other hand, the Mayan civilization developed in Yucatan Peninsula around 200 B.C., and mysterious disappeared around 900 A.D. However, these two cultures share many factors in common such as developing calendars and building pyramids. Even though civilizations developed in different time periods, they can still have many factors in common such as environment, language, and architecture.
Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt were two early human civilizations that lived during the bronze age in harsh desert environments located not far from each other. Both civilizations were built around rivers that they depended on for survival. There is evidence that these rivers had great influence on both the societies politics and culture. Egypt was built around the very strong and reliable Nile River. Ancient Mesopotamia was established in the fertile crescent between the less reliable Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
