In what present day countries can the sites of your civilizations be found? I used Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt
kogti [31]

Politically, both Egypt and Mesopotamia had a government with one main ruler, but Egypt had a centralized government with a pharaoh, while Mesopotamia had a decentralized government with a king. Socially, both civilizations were patriarchal, but Egypt was more lenient towards women while Mesopotamia was stricter.Mesopotamia is a region of southwest Asia in the Tigris and Euphrates river system that benefitted from the area’s climate and geography to host the beginnings of human civilization. Its history is marked by many important inventions that changed the world, including the concept of time, math, the wheel, sailboats, maps and writing. Mesopotamia is also defined by a changing succession of ruling bodies from different areas and cities that seized control over a period of thousands of years.

Where Is Mesopotamia?

Mesopotamia is located in the region now known as the Middle East, which includes parts of southwest Asia and lands around the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is part of the Fertile Crescent, an area also known as “Cradle of Civilization” for the number of innovations that arose from the early societies in this region, which are among some of the earliest known human civilizations on earth.

The word “mesopotamia” is formed from the ancient words “meso,” meaning between or in the middle of, and “potamos,” meaning river. Situated in the fertile valleys between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the region is now home to modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey and Syria.

Mesopotamian Civilization

Humans first settled in Mesopotamia in the Paleolithic era. By 14,000 B.C., people in the region lived in small settlements with circular houses.

Five thousand years later, these houses formed farming communities following the domestication of animals and the development of agriculture, most notably irrigation techniques that took advantage of the proximity of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Agricultural progress was the work of the dominant Ubaid culture, which had absorbed the Halaf culture before it.

Ancient Mesopotamia

These scattered agrarian communities started in the northern part of the ancient Mesopotamian region and spread south, continuing to grow for several thousand years until forming what modern humans would recognize as cities, which were considered the work of the Sumer people.

Uruk was the first of these cities, dating back to around 3200 B.C. It was a mud brick metropolis built on the riches brought from trade and conquest and featured public art, gigantic columns and temples. At its peak, it had a population of some 50,000 citizens.

Sumerians are also responsible for the earliest form of written language, cuneiform, with which they kept detailed clerical records.

The first king of a united Sumer is recorded as Etana of Kish. It’s unknown whether Etana really existed, as he and many of the rulers listed in the Sumerian King List that was developed around 2100 B.C. are all featured in Sumerian mythology as well.

Etana was followed by Meskiaggasher, the king of the city-state Uruk. A warrior named Lugalbanda took control around 2750 B.C.

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh, the legendary subject of the Epic of Gilgamesh, is said to be Lugalbanda’s son. Gilgamesh is believed to have been born in Uruk around 2700 B.C.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is considered to be the earliest great work of literature and the inspiration for some of the stories in the Bible. In the epic poem, Gilgamesh goes on an adventure with a friend to the Cedar Forest, the land of the Gods in Mesopotamian mythology. When his friend is slain, Gilgamesh goes on a quest to discover the secret of eternal life, finding: "Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands."

King Lugalzagesi was the final king of Sumer, falling to Sargon of Akkad, a Semitic people, in 2334 B.C. They were briefly allies, conquering the city of Kish together, but Lugalzagesi’s mercenary Akkadian army was ultimately loyal to Sargon.

Of the 110 settlers who arrived in may 1607, nearly 70 were dead by December. Is there anything in the ship that helps explain w
IRISSAK [1]

Of the 110 settlers who arrived in May 1607, over half of them had died by December. This was due to poor protection from the cold winter that had a massive impact on children and the elderly.

Many of the passengers died due to scurvy.

Overall, it was a gruelling journey and not easy even in summer times. Winter, itself brought with it a lot of diseases.

Whoever died on the ship, their dead body was thrown over in the Ocean, as was the custom. However, their clothes and belongings were still left on the ship to be used by others.

These provided evidence of tens of people who could not make the journey.

Why did China get involved in the Korean War? a The United States asked them get involved to prevent World War 3. b The USSR ask
olganol [36]

Answer:

The right answer is:

c. The Americans had advanced as far as the China-Korea border and the Chinese were worried about the security of their borders and a possible invasion.

Explanation:

The direct motive of the Chinese entering the Korean War (1950-53) to support their North-Korean communist brethren was fear of a US invasion. After getting the communist withdrawal from Seoul and pushing them far north, the US forces approached the Chinese border. The route they were following was similar to that followed by the Japanese when they invaded Manchuria. That was a very fresh memory for China that had just emerged from two decades of war, including 8 years of bitter fighting with the Japanese. For them, it was preferable to fight in foreign territory than in their own territory. Neither Kim Il-sung, the North Korean leader, nor Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had expected the strong American reaction to the northern invasion of the South. For China, getting involved was also an act of communist solidarity, but the main motive was a deep concern about security.
