The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Some of the technological and social developments of the Nile River Valley and Mesopotamian civilizations were the following.

In the case of the Nile River civilization, ancient Egyptians were smart people that develop the technology to understand the flooding of the Nile River to grow their crops. They lived in a desert, so the Nile River was the only water source to grow food.

The other technology was in architecture. Egyptians were capable to build impressive pyramids such as the ones in Cairo, Egypt, that today are considered to be one of the seven wonders of ancient times.

In the case of Mesopotamia, the Sumerians are considered the oldest civilization on Earth, They settled in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, in the Middle East, modern-day Iran.

They developed impressive technology to built their Ziggurats, monumental buildings that represented the main part of their cities.

They also were the first ones to apply agriculture techniques to grow crops, understand the flooding of both rivers, developed the cuneiform scripture to write on clay tablets and were the founders of the concept of city-states such as Kisk, Lagash, Uruk, and Ur.

Compare and contrast the Taj Mahal and Templo Mayor, Tenochtitlan. Discuss the form, materials, purpose, and symbolism of each.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The Aztecs founded a lot of city-states through the territory. One of the most important was Tenochtitlan, built-in 1318 / 1325. Mexico City would settle on it. Centuries later, from 1631 to 1654, the El Taj Mahal began to be built in Agra, India.

Considered as a palace by many, the Taj Mahal was originally a mausoleum built by Muslim emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his dead wife, which he loved very much. With different intentions, the Aztecs built a temple to magnify their patron gods, Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc. At first, the monument was nothing more than a small shrine made with simple materials (straw and grass). But, because each ruler undertook a new constructive stage, it ended up becoming a majestic pyramid.

The Tenochiltlan temple had several constructions in a row, but mainly it was a high-rise sacred temple, with divisions for the two gods, some stairs where only the priests and the sacrificed could cross. But The Taj Mahal was built with the best materials, using white marble, also included precious stones such as sapphire, amethysts, quartz, and even diamonds. In that case, it was more expensive and fancy in his construction, who has about 14 hectares and has huge gardens.

As for symbolism, the monument of India represents love, paradise, and spiritual encounter. On the side of Tenochiltlan, it represents the history of the Aztecs before being destroyed by Hernan Cortes, it was an offering center to the gods and the earth.
