Egypt was impacted greatly by the Hyksos, marginally in the long term compared to the short term. Arguably their contributions were predominantly positive and the repercussions of their expulsion set up Egypt to become the military superpower it was once known as. Problematically evidence in this period is indistinct due to most of the written sources coming from Egypt itself, therefore the level of biased must be considered when analyzing the sources we have been able to ascertain. One of the greatest short-term contributions that were appropriated from the Hyksos was the evolution in Egypt’s military weapons and technology. Formerly Egyptians weaponry consisted of mainly primitive impact weapons as well as throwing sticks, shields and axes.
A way they differ is that Egypt has more of a dry flat land and china is mostly raised wet land. Also, another difference between them Is that in Egypt they build massive monuments for the pharaohs were as in china it might have bin a big deal it wasn’t to that extent. Lastly they differ in religion because Egyptians are polytheistic and the Chinese people worship their male
Though the Etruscans made Roma a metropolis, the Romans themselves adopted Greek artistic customs instead. They broke from traditional conventions however, and made their statues often more realistic and the coloration (which is now often lost) much gaudier. Greek paintings were too adopted in form, but such items did not survive antiquity. Secondly, the Romans adopted Greek mythology and philosophy. Originally, the chief deities of Vesta, Jupiter, Mars and Venus did not have mythology in Rome (with many being quite animistic).
They have these bathing houses in most villages and cities in the Indus River Valley, but in Mesopotamia, they have these only in their largest cities. Most of the houses in both of the Mesopotamian and Indus Valley civilizations comprised of sun-dried mud bricks. This building material was quite common because these civilizations were located near rivers, and there is always a surplus of mud in wet areas, like a riverbed, etc. As stated earlier, most of the houses were made of sun-dried mud bricks, but not all. The rest of the residences were made of wood.
The Nile: How it Shaped Ancient Egypt By: Jules Orrukem What would you do if you were thirsty? You would take a drink from your water bottle, right? However, what if you lived in Ancient Egypt? They didn’t have water bottles and couldn’t just turn on the tap. Ancient Egyptians did not have the technology we have today to perform simple tasks we consider easy, such as transporting heavy blocks for building.
Sumerians also used the wheel to shape clay into pots. The arch was used to add beauty and strength to buildings. Sumerians also had a social structure, government and writing. Without all of these things you can’t have a civilization. As I said before Sumer was classified as a civilization.
They both used stone and mud bricks as the predominant building material. Ancient Egyptian houses were made out of mud collected from the Nile River. It was placed in molds and left to dry in the hot sun to harden for use in construction. There is consensus among historians and Egyptologists that the ancient Egyptians were the first builders ever known to man; they taught humanity how to design and erect buildings; thus laying grounds for human civilization, urbanization and man's settlement in a specific homeland of his own for the first time in history. Cities were built in cultivation land near the Nile River so the natural flooding would water their crops, and bring with it natural minerals needed by the crops.
The Romans influenced such a vast area of the world for an extended amount of time due to their superior engineering skills. Aqueducts are one of their many inventions and arguably the greatest of their time and many years after. Before aqueduct technology, humans were restricted to build cities around natural water sources such as springs and rivers. These restricted cities grew crowded—not to mention also feculent and odious due to lack of a sewer system. Aqueducts enabled the Romans to grow in many different aspects including the size of their empires and their army.
Another technique that emerges in Egypt is monumental architecture. Egypt has learned to use mud to make bricks, but it begins to built large structures such as pyramids. The pyramids primarily serve as a burial place for important people such as the pharaohs. The use of a pharaoh as a ruler provides Egypt with advantages and
They also used native copper, silver and gold for metalworking, in which they used very advanced methods. The period between 250 CE and 650 CE was a time of intense flourishing of Maya civilized accomplishments. While the many Mayans city-states never achieved political unity on the order of the central Mexican civilizations, they exerted a tremendous intellectual influence upon Mexico and Central America. The Mayans built some of the most elaborate cities on the continent, and made innovations in mathematics, astronomy, and calendrics. The Mayans also evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas using pictographs and syllabic elements in the form of texts and codices inscribed on stone, pottery, wood, or highly perishable books made from bark paper.
