The document discusses the early civilizations that emerged along major river valleys, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China. It provides details on the geography, environmental challenges, and cultural developments of each civilization. The Sumerians in Mesopotamia were the first to develop cities and systems of irrigation and governance to deal with flood risks. Egyptian kings built pyramids and organized society with pharaohs at the top. Harappan cities in the Indus Valley were carefully planned with infrastructure like roads. Early Chinese dynasties established control over floods and developed writing, family structures, and a concept of mandates of heaven for political rule.
The Sumerians established one of the earliest known civilizations in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the 5th millennium BCE. They developed cuneiform, one of the world's first systems of writing, leaving behind a written record of their achievements. The Sumerians lived in city-states like Ur and Uruk, centered around ziggurats and engaged in irrigation-based agriculture along the rivers. They established complex religious and legal systems and some of the first schools, leaving a lasting cultural legacy despite the original origins and language of the Sumerian people remaining unknown.

The document provides information about ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. It discusses how they were river civilizations along fertile lands around major rivers. It also describes the development of cities and empires in Mesopotamia and the different periods of rule in ancient Egypt. Key aspects of their societies, religions, and arts are outlined as well.
The Sumerians settled in Mesopotamia along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers because the seasonal floods provided fertile soil for agriculture and the rivers provided reliable sources of water. They developed irrigation canals and surplus crops allowed specialization of labor into crafts and trade. Sumerian society was composed of independent city-states that practiced polytheism and were ruled by priest-kings. They invented a system of writing called cuneiform and made advances in mathematics, science, and technologies like the wheel, plow, and sailboat.
Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt were two of the earliest civilizations. Mesopotamia developed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq, while ancient Egypt arose along the Nile River. Both civilizations had organized governments, religions, writing systems, and cities supported by irrigation and agriculture. Some of Mesopotamia's earliest cities included Sumerian city-states like Uruk, which invented writing and law codes. Egypt was unified by King Narmer around 3100 BC and was ruled by powerful pharaohs who were viewed as gods and controlled religious and economic life.

These city-states developed systems of governance ruled by monarchs with the help of priests, scribes, and armies. They established some of humanity's earliest social hierarchies, legal codes, and written languages.
Four to five thousand years after the Neolithic Revolution, the first civilizations arose in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley. Mesopotamian civilization began in city-states like Ur and Uruk in southern Mesopotamia. Sumerian culture featured centralized rule by priest-kings and a social hierarchy topped by kings and priests. Egypt developed a highly centralized society ruled by divine pharaohs. The Indus Valley civilization spanned over 900 miles along the Indus River and featured planned cities built on grids with advanced sanitation systems. All three civilizations exhibited early advances in areas like writing, mathematics, metalworking, and social organization.

Mesopotamia - History of Human CivilizationVishnu Raju
The earliest civilization in Mesopotamia was the Sumerian civilization in southern Mesopotamia around 3500 BC. The Sumerians established cities like Ur and developed irrigation systems to farm the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. One of the earliest empires was established by Sargon I of Akkad around 2300 BC when he conquered the Sumerian city-states. Another important Mesopotamian ruler was Hammurabi of Babylon in the 18th century BC, who created one of the earliest codes of law and expanded his empire. Mesopotamian civilizations made significant contributions to math, science, and law that influenced other ancient cultures.
By 5000 BC, hunter-gatherers had settled in the fertile Nile River valley in Egypt. They farmed the land and built villages, becoming the earliest Egyptians. The Nile provided water for drinking, fishing, farming, and transportation, and its regular flooding deposited rich soil. The geography of Egypt, with deserts and cataracts, protected it from invaders. Egyptian civilization grew prosperous due to fertile land and relative isolation.
The document provides an overview of the first civilizations including their political organization, society, and emergence of writing. It then summarizes Mesopotamian and ancient Egyptian civilizations. Mesopotamian civilization developed between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and was influenced by Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian peoples. Ancient Egyptian civilization arose in the Nile River valley and was led by pharaohs over its 3000 year history divided into dynastic periods. Key aspects of these civilizations included their religion, art, and architectural monuments like temples, tombs, and pyramids.

The document provides an outline for a lecture on the four early river valley civilizations, with a focus on the Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia. It discusses the geography of the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers that led to the development of cities. It describes key aspects of Sumerian culture, including their religion, social structure, and scientific/technological achievements. It also discusses the city-state form of government and the first empire builders like Sargon of Akkad and the Babylonian Empire under Hammurabi.
This lecture provides an overview of early Mesopotamian civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It discusses the geography and climate of the region, known as the Fertile Crescent, which allowed for the development of irrigation-based agriculture and urban settlements. Sumerians were the first to settle the region around 5000 BC, developing dams, canals and cities like Uruk and Ur. Writing and other innovations emerged as cities grew in size and complexity between 3500-3000 BC. Social classes and kingship developed, with temples becoming important religious and administrative centers marked by ziggurats.
The Sumerians settled in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC and formed 12 city-states by 3000 BC. Each city-state was independently governed but most came to be ruled by kings by 2700 BC. The Sumerians developed cuneiform writing, a calendar, innovations like the wheel and arch, and had a patriarchal society where men exercised authority over women. Their economy was based on agriculture and trade. They also established one of the earliest empires in Mesopotamia under Sargon I and the later Babylonian Empire under Hammurabi issued one of the earliest legal codes.
Early humans lived nomadic lifestyles, traveling in small bands and hunting/gathering food. Some began settling in permanent villages during the Neolithic era, practicing the first agriculture and domesticating plants and animals. This allowed for specialization of labor and the establishment of permanent settlements that grew into early civilizations along river valleys, where they developed irrigation, social hierarchy, religion, arts, and writing. The emergence of civilizations marked the beginning of the Bronze Age and the transition from prehistory to recorded human history.
The document discusses the Mesopotamian civilization that arose between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. It describes key characteristics of early civilizations including cities, agriculture, trade, religion, art, writing systems, and centralized governments. The document outlines the major cities of Mesopotamia, including Ur and Uruk, and religious structures like ziggurats. Causes for the decline of Mesopotamia included warfare between city-states and problems with their irrigation systems. The Egyptian civilization on the Nile River is also briefly mentioned.
The Sumerians lived along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Mesopotamia, where the fertile soil and reliable water sources from seasonal floods supported agriculture. They developed irrigation canals and dams to control flooding, leaving a surplus of food that allowed specialization of labor into crafts and trade. The Sumerian cities were cut off from each other by desert, so they organized into independent city-states for political and economic purposes. Within the city-states, social classes divided people according to their occupations, with kings, priests, and warriors at the top. The Sumerians made important cultural contributions including the development of cuneiform writing and advances in areas like mathematics, astronomy, engineering, and
Mesopotamia was the site of some of the earliest civilizations due to its fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

2. The First Civilizations in
Mesopotamia
River Valley Civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, India
and China.
► What do they have in common?
Drinking water and crops.
Social classes based on occupations (jobs).
Governments to pass laws, defend land, and
building projects.
Religions to bring meaning to their lives.
3. The Two Rivers
► Mesopotamia is located in what is now southern
Iraq.
Earliest known civilization.
Name means “the land between the rivers.” in
Greek.
► It was between the Tigris and Euphrates river.
These rivers ran nearly parallel to each other.
► Located at the Fertile Crescent.
4.
5. Early Valley Dwellers
► Mesopotamia’s history was hidden away in
rubble.
► In the 1800’s archaeologist begin to dig up
artifacts that reveal some information.
Began being settled around 7000 B.C.
First settlers were hunters and herders
By 4000 B.C. built farming villages along the
two rivers.
6. Taming the Rivers
► Mesopotamian farmers used water from both
rivers to water their fields.
► Could not always rely on rivers because
summers produced little rain.
► During the spring harvest, snow would melt
from the mountains sometimes causing floods.
► Floods were good because silt (particles of fine
soil) would be deposited in the soil making it
good for farming.
7. Taming the Rivers
► Eventually they learned to build dams and canals to
control floods.
Canals let water flow into the fields. This was
known as irrigation (supply dry land with
water.)
► Irrigation allowed farmers to grow surpluses (extra
amounts) of food.
Extra food stored for later use.
