The ancient civilizations of Egypt and China were very similar in many different aspects. Their gov ernments and their geography were extremely alike and the religions of the two civilizations had onl y tiny differences. The early Egyptians also had the same concept of writing as the Chinese people who lived across the continent from them. Suprisingly, these two ancient civilizations that existed very far away from each other show a enormous amount of similarities in almost every area. The gove rnment of Ancient Egypt was headed by a king (in the New kingdom, the king assumed the name "pharaoh ") with absolute power.
The Mesopotamians were the first to use chariots in war, in 2400 BC. The chariot diffused fast to other human societies all over the world, mainly because it had become an efficient military weapon (Publins, 2013). The Hittites, for instance, relied on it to establish their first Kingdom in 1700 BC. By 1300 BC, the chariot had already penetrated into China from the Northwest. Since the kingdoms and societies using this vehicle in war were found to be superior based on the size of their chariots, it became a master weapon and spread all over the world within a short time.

INTRODUCTION 1 As the world's oldest continuos civilisation, the Chinese can be justly proud of their achievements. Early creation of a written language, development of elaborate techniques of silk - weaving, wet rice cultivation, invention of the compass and gun powder are but a few of the more outstanding of these accomplishments. For some 3000 years, China has been one of the main centres of the world. Rivalled for sheer power and sophisticated living only by the Roman imperial colossus, China's civilisation exerted political and cultural influence throughout one of the few heavily populated regions of the world at the beginning of the Christian era.. In subsequent centuries new empires rose and fell in many parts of the globe, while the nature of civilisation underwent successive changes.
The main portion of the wall as we know it was started by the Ming emperors starting in the 14th century CE. Using bricks and stone, the new wall was stronger than prior structures that were made of wood and packed dirt.

The massive structure snakes across the Chinese landscape, passing through nine cities and provinces. The construction of The Great Wall was one of the crowning achievements of the ancient Chinese.
Confucianism is an influential philosophical and teaching system that originated in China. The influence of Confucianism, however, goes beyond China and reaches the border of many East Asian countries, namely Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Among all the characteristics of Confucianism, the fact that its influence can cast a shadow upon different countries and that we can still see the features of Confucianism in modern-day society, 2400 years after the death of Confucius, are the most impressive. This paper aims to elaborate more deeply about the regional impact of Confucianism as well as how it still plays a big role in modern Chinese society. Japan adopted Confucianism in the 6th century (Ping & Lili, 2010), and it has developed in Japan since then.
