Explanation:
Each of these civilizations has influenced the modern western world in many different ways, each just as important as the next. Mesopotamian society has greatly influenced agriculture, law, and organized cultural centers. Egypt has greatly influenced (and continues to influence) the fundamentals of trade, economy, agriculture, and organized politics/religion. India has influenced the western world by means of agriculture, spirituality, diplomacy, and many of the philosophical foundations we use today.
