A complex society is defined by its development into a thriving civilization however great or small. Two of the earliest complex societies were Egypt and Mesopotamia. Both societies had rich cultures, and were largely responsible for the development of the eastern world. Having developed during the same time periods both societies share many political, technological, social, and economic similarities. However they also share a number of differences because they developed in different regions with different natural influences.
The people in Ancient Rome put their knowledge to work to build aqueducts to fix their major problem of water so they can devote their time to building other impressive things like the Colosseum, the Amphitheater, and bridges. To build these magnificent structures, the Romans needed things to build them with. Within time the Romans figured out how to make powerful machines, such as, cranes, water mills, grain mills, and water pumps. The Romans were very good at improving their designs as well, even their general design is still being used today. They used their technology to help them with water access, construction, and mining.

Victoria Valean 09-07-13 Period 01 Egypt and Mesopotamia: Compare and Contrast During the New Stone Age, also known as the Agricultural Revolution, two civilizations ascended. Although many similarities can be shown between the two, they each are very different from each other culturally, geographically, socially, politically, and religiously. Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt developed during the same time period, 5000-6000 B.C., geographically; they both had a source main of freshwater; the Nile River for Egypt, and the Tigris and Euphrates River for Mesopotamia. Both civilizations also have access to major trading seas, coming from their main Rivers. Egypt and Mesopotamia’s river’s provided most of the needed water for their crops.
In the time after the last Great Ice Age, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and Israel were three important civilizations that flourished and left significant political and cultural traits onto one another. Mesopotamia, being one of the earlier civilizations had lasting impacts on Egypt and Israel. While these Empires shared many things in common, they also differed greatly in culture, religion, war and scientific research accomplished during their reign of power. Mesopotamia was the first region to enjoy the freedom of city-states, which is why it is known to be the first civilization. Each city-state enjoyed its own freedoms, but also shared many of the same things including language, religion and sciences.
Egyptians used this very frequently because it is freshwater resource in the country and due to their lack of precipitation, they can use the river to their advantage. In Mesopotamia, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers were used as an excellent transportation system, the water was for growing crops and drinking. But one thing different from the Nile, is that it once or twice a year the rivers would flood and the Mesopotamians then used the extra water for irrigation on the land. Egyptians invented a written language known as Hieroglyphs. They used pictures to interpret what they were saying when trying to communicate.
This crucial aspect of ancient Egyptian culture is something that aided Predynastic Egypt’s unification and was also beneficial to Egypt in later cultural periods. In many ancient cultures, religious belief and ideology played an extremely important role. It is no surprise that the same is true concerning Upper and Lower Egypt’s unification. Religious ideologies of dual kingship certainly were factors that prompted rulers to unify the two cultures. It is often believed that the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt was a type of chance happening that transpired over a short period of time, this is in no way the case.
Throughout the early 17th century, the English had managed to land in the differing regions of America, such as New England, the Middle colonies and the Southern colonies. In these regions, the colonists managed to adapt to their surroundings and build permanent settlements such as Jamestown in 1607 and the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. Although geography played a large factor, religious reasons and strong leadership were crucial roles in the development of the colonies Each region had their own advantages when it came to their geography, influencing what the colonists would do to thrive. In the Southern colonies, the soil was fertile and the climate was warm which meant a longer growing season. Because of this, the Southern colonists made their living off farming cash crops, such as rice, usually in plantations.
Because of this, both of these civilizations depended on rivers to sustain a productive agriculture. This is especially important to both because they lived in arid lands. However, the rivers that the Egyptians and Mesopotamians used were far different from each other. The Egyptians lived near the Nile
