Not only did the river supply the needed moisture to the crops, but the banks of the river contain fertile soils that were necessary for the thriving food source. The people of the ancient civilization had to learn the cycle of the river to make it functional for their society. The river and surrounding areas experience a flood every July, this water had to be
Irrigation from the two rivers made it possible for the early settlers to farm and had abundant crops for trade. Furthermore, the supply of water from the two rivers were used for grazing areas for cattle and sheep. As a result, Mesopotamian had a lot of food variety they can choose from and permitted others to look for different jobs; for example, making clay pots and tools. Thus, new jobs developed and buildings and dams were built (Britannica, 2011) Part B The development of the chariot provides as a great example of diffusion throughout the continents. Chariots was invented in Mesopotamia to carry a driver and an archer for war.
History of North Creake Region of Norfolk Prehistoric It is now thought that there were humans living in the Norfolk region around 950,000 years ago. However they were not homo sapiens but a short lived dead end of the human family tree known as homo antecessor. Recent finds in Happisburg in 2008 reveal a previously unknown sub-species of human living in the eastern part of Norfolk who must have been very hardy as temperatures were much lower than today. They left flints and bones from their hunts when Norfolk was linked to Europe by a land-bridge created by ice-age conditions. They lived in a time when Norfolk’s landscape featured sabre-tooth tigers and mammoths.
Since the majority of the population was based in small farming villages along the Nile, agriculture was the basis for their economy (history.com). In the early dynastic period Memphis was founded near the apex of the Nile delta. Therefore the capital had access to the Nile as a water highway. Thus making it simple to ship all kinds of goods and raw materials. This helped established Egypt's vast wealth and culture.
Beringea was a land bridge reaching from Siberia to Alaska but is now covered by the Bering Sea. Beringea is a significant part of history because it came about during the Ice Ages. The ocean level declined and the ancient Beringea land-mass emerged to form a land bridge stretching 600 miles from north to south between Siberia and North America. Neolithic were a part of “New Stone Age” because they practiced agriculture unlike their predecessors. This was a means of supporting one another.
Not only did they use the river for water and food, they also used the river for main transportation and trading goods. Although the Nile River flooded once a year which caused destructions, it provided them with a layer of silt that fertilized their soil that allowed them to farm all year round. The Egyptians welcomed these annual floods and showed their gratitude to the river god Osiris. They were connected with their religion especially through Osiris. The Nile river also supported in their early political unification between upper and lower Egypt.
Although, prior to the 9/11 tragedy and the subsequent creation of DHS there was basic and necessary cooperation amongst agencies that had the primary responsibility to conduct border operations. For example, the Highgate Springs POE in Vermont only had customs inspectors that were trained to perform additional immigration and agricultural inspector duties. This coordinated approach worked for this specific POE at the time (Bright, 2013). However, after the events on September 11th 2001 occurred, Congress created DHS in 2003. This provided the nation one department responsible for our nation’s borders.
The Nile River, in particular, was an aspect of agriculture whose impact on African societies would change the way we see it today. The ancient Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River, where the soil was rich and the agricultural opportunities were plentiful. The Nile River cut through something of an arid landscape, so the people clustered along the riverbanks, where, in addition to farms, they constructed towns and cities. Though we often think of ancient Egypt in terms of massive construction projects, such as the pyramids, most Egyptians lived in smaller towns. Unlike the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the Nile floods at a predictable time of the year and in relatively predictable stages.
4000 BC : human communities learned to build sailing vessels. → fishing, long distance trading 3000 BC : development of pastoral nomadry ; required to establish enzyme mutations that allowed adults to digest milk. Pastoralists were also migratory. Their rapidity of movement and superior diet gave them a clear military advantage over more sessile and protein-deficient cultivators. Seafaring population : a mobile element remained among Old World populations.
Spice Allergy James L. Chen and Sami L. Bahna both explore spice allergies and how it is applied in clinical practice by conducting a study in 2011. They recognize that spices contain harmful allergens and that spice allergies are underdiagonsed. Spices can be purchased in an vast majority and is widely used all around the world. Despite the large usage of spices, many are not aware of spice allergies that might be occurring to a small amount of people. Although, there are not many victims of spice allergies it is as important to examine the causes and effects of spice allergies as it can occur to anyone.
