Mesopotamia and the Shang and Zhou were two very successful early civilizations. Mesopotamia was a civilization that emerged from the fertile lands between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers in the Middle East. Chinese people called the Shang took over a portion of northern China located near the Huang He, and began to develop their dynasty. The Zhou dynasty took over the Shang, but both dynasties succeed in bringing China new achievements.
Ancient civilizations all developed near a source of water, where producing crops was not a concern. Since people did not need to move place to place for food, they could settle down and form civilizations. Geography was a major reason the ancient civilizations and the people living there
They began building houses for themselves which were primarily composed of reeds or mud bricks. Granaries, built by the people in Mesopotamia, were the place where they stored extra grains from their
The numerous parallels and contrasts of the two flooding stories makes the similarities and differences of the Mesopotamian and Hebrew cultural, religious, and moral beliefs evident. The dilemma in both stories was that the higher beings wanted to exterminate mankind, yet due to different reasons. The gods in the Mesopotamian culture were upset that the population was too high, thus causing clamor among the individuals. While in the Hebrew culture, God was angered by the sinful nature and inherent evil prevalent in mankind and felt that the only solution was to exterminate them. The Hebrew culture revolves around the belief in the avoidance of sin, yet the Mesopotamian culture does not depict this characteristic.
The geography of the land greatly effects the development of a civilization. The early civilizations lacked the expertise and knowledge of how to make their civilization grow and expand. These civilizations didn 't know how to create large irrigation
Eventually, in order to gain the greatest benefit from the Nile’s waters, the Egyptians developed irrigation systems that carried water
From 6000 BCE to 500 BCE the areas of the Fertile Crescent, Egypt and the Mediterranean held ancient civilizations and the physical environments caused the accumulation of wealth due to agricultural development and the beginning of trading in these civilizations. This led to the development of social and political structures. The physical environment includes bodies of water (rivers and seas), plains, deserts, mountains and natural resources. This paper will argue that the physical environmental factors that affected the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia were the rivers, the Fertile Crescent and the natural resources, Egypt with the Nile River, deserts and natural resources and Greece with the lack of rivers and plains, seas and mountains civilizations. The physical environment of rivers,
With the rivers located just by ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, both civilizations’ culture depended on agriculture, and were formed around agricultural communities which supplied them with food. In Egypt, the annual flooding of the Nile contributed to their development in agriculture, while Mesopotamians depended on the Euphrates river, which was less dependable than the Nile because of its unpredictable flooding. The flooding of the two rivers in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia left a fertile layer of soil, making it easier to plant crops and allowing both communities to depend on their rivers for
The Ancient Israelites and the Mesopotamians are both early societies in the Middle East. These societies have similar social similarities, such as having the society being patriarchal.

In India they a plumbing and a sewage system. The reason why these inventions go into the economic category is because not every single person had these. Mostly the people who were wealthy could take advantage of these opportunities. In Egypt only the wealthy people and the Pharaohs got pyramids. In Mesopotamia the main thing people did was farm.
The Egyptian Middle Kingdom and Babylonia had many similarities related in geography. Despite this they also had numerous distinct differences. Fundamental similarities manifested as care for the people by the rulers which had recently developed in both societies. As the rulers were no longer concerned with only themselves, but the citizens as well. Both societies had military protection although Babylon organized and conquered the Fertile Crescent and later Egypt.
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.

Civilization is the cooperation between individuals within a region. The first civilizations were Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. Both civilizations acquired a different environment. However, their environment promoted religion, specifically polytheism. Although their environments were different, both civilizations were in harmony about the existence of many gods.
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.
