Answer:
Explanation: Urbanization is the process by which rural communities grow to form cities, or urban centers, and, by extension, the growth and expansion of those cities. Urbanization began in ancient Mesopotamia in the Uruk Period (4300-3100 BCE) for reasons scholars have not yet agreed on. It is speculated, however, that a particularly prosperous and efficient village attracted the attention of other, less prosperous, tribes who then attached themselves to the successful settlement.
Answer:
Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River in large part because the river’s annual flooding ensured reliable, rich soil for growing crops.
Repeated struggles for political control of Egypt showed the importance of the region's agricultural production and economic resources.
The Egyptians kept written records using a writing system known as hieroglyphics.
Egyptian rulers used the idea of divine kingship and constructed monumental architecture to demonstrate and maintain power.
Ancient Egyptians developed wide-reaching trade networks along the Nile, in the Red Sea, and in the Near East.
Early Egypt
Much of the history of Egypt is divided into three “kingdom” periods—Old, Middle, and New—with shorter intermediate periods separating the kingdoms. The term "intermediate" here refers to the fact that during these times Egypt was not a unified political power, and thus was in between powerful kingdoms. Even before the Old Kingdom period, the foundations of Egyptian civilization were being laid for thousands of years, as people living near the Nile increasingly focused on sedentary agriculture, which led to urbanization and specialized, non-agricultural economic activity.
