This is because of the influence the river has had on many different political aspects. Countries that have been affected by the Nile and have complained time and again about the dominance of Egypt to the Nile River are ;Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and sudan.However, this has not in any way stopped or derailed the achievements and explorations of the Nile but have helped to develop and promote the achievements and explorations of the same. (Humphrey,
They developed trade links to many countries and established lots of new herbs and plants. The Egyptians also found a new way of communication – writing. This is a key theme throughout Egyptian medicine as we can use written records as evidence for our theories on what actually happened after prehistoric times. Egypt was very different from prehistoric Isbister; it was a much more wealthy country and one of the most advanced civilisations known to the world. Its wealth was based on the River Nile and the fertile soil in which gave rich harvests of good crops, farming was so successful that even land owners in Egypt became very fortunate.
When talking about geography, religion, and political views, there were more differences than similarities within these two civilizations. Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia shared one key similarity in their geography; access to a major source of freshwater. For Egypt, it was the Nile River and for Mesopotamia, it was the Tigris and Euphrates River. Luckily, they were both gifted with fertile soil thanks to the rivers. Also, both rivers flooded.
Seasonal climate changes also promoting growth and development of their crops. Geography and the Development and Diffusion of Human Societies Ancient Egyptians had their work cut out for them when it came to developing a strong self sustaining community who could live off of their own land and food supply. Being comprised of mostly desert, made the development even more challenging. Little to no rain fall made growing crops nearly impossible. The Egyptians could possibly be an extinct population if it were not for the Nile River.
The Paleolithic era and the Neolithic era were the times the humans began civilizations and development. Natural elements and the human mind brought great change and improvement. The increase population made the world a different place. Large societies needed to be built. Both the Mesopotamia and Egypt had huge populations leading to the development of government, rules, economic development and organizations.
Other factors can include Gutters and Drains quickly taking water to the rivers. Pakistan however does not suffer from this problem as they have a low economical climate which lead then to have dirt roads for example. Although Pakistan has little economic activity this has spurred them to cultivate and gather resources such as using the surrounding trees to use for biomass (energy). Economic impacts in Cumbria (MEDC) will be higher than Pakistan (LEDC) due to the high value buildings and infrastructure. However the relative economic impacts will be lower for Cumbria and higher for Pakistan.
GKE Task 1 I chose Egypt and the Nile as the geographic factor that contributed to the development of Ancient Egypt. The Nile is considered Egypt’s lifeline and important to the economy. Each year the Nile floods bringing with it numerous elements that nourish the land, not like the Tigris or Euphrates systems that have alkaline waters. The Nile fertilizes the land making it perfect for planting. The Ancient Egyptians planted wheat, barley, and many other crops after the flood waters receded.
Answer to DBQ People in early civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus Valley, depended a lot in the physical environment that surrounded them. Many of these civilizations developed near rivers, because they can be great water resources and also they can provide silt for crops when they flood. Rivers not only provide silt and water for the natives but it can be a great way of transportation. Transportation later could lead to trade, a great way of expanding ideas and learning more about other countries. Even though the climate in these areas may be a little arid, the river keeps the people with water and provides them what they need in order to create a society and living with happiness.
Although the Incas were more advanced and modern in their ways, the Inca and Aztec Empires were similar in some of the aspects that allowed them to be so successful and powerful. First, both civilizations had intensive agriculture mandated by the state. The crops were then redistributed to all the social classes equally. Both economies depended greatly on agriculture and farming, even producing some of the same crops such as corn and squash. Although agriculture based societies have been around for a long time in history and were pretty much the norm in this time period, their agriculture systems still created a surplus of crops, which allowed for increased populations.
With this new system, they were able to use the water all year around. This enabled them to grow crops, and also allowed for true development of cities. The usage of hieroglyphics gave them a way in which they could communicate with a written language and also let them keep records. Trading allowed them to gain many new products and that led to them building up their strong economy. When I hear the word Egypt, I tend to think about pyramids, gods, goddesses, and Pharaohs.
