Mesopotamia vs Egypt
Mesopotamia vs. Egypt A civilization is a indian lodge in advanced state of social development. Mesopotamia and Egypt ar some of the oldest civilizations on history. One of the more or less important steps taken for a civilization to occur was the agricultural revolution. This was when gentlemanness stopped being nomadic and begun to placate down permanently or for eagle-eyed periods of time in one special(prenominal) area and began living off the put downs and pinnacle animals, this as we know is known as the agricultural revolution. Other steps that helped towards the p artworkicular of civilizations were suitable geographical locations.They needed a reliable water and food ancestry and sometimes good areas for exculpation or they built their own. The geographical location of ii Mesopotamia and Egypt were very important to its success. both(prenominal) Egypt and Mesopotamia were twain located approximately a river. not only that both their prolific land was caused because of the rivers, tho the disagreement is that Mesopotamia was located in an area of land between two rivers which caused the land between the rivers to become fertile where as Egypt was located around a river and because of its seasonal flooding fertile reproach was dumped onto the backs of the river perfect for planting crops.The big difference between Mesopotamia and Egypt was that Egypt had excellent natural disproof because of its sea to the north, deserts to the east and west, and fast and mountains to the south. Whereas Mesopotamia had flat land all around the resulting in no natural defense what so ever. Egypt and Mesopotamia both had similar religions. Both societies believe in many gods for typesetters racing shell the sun god, river god, fire god and so on. So both civilizations were polytheistic. In the case of Egypt, there were supreme gods such(prenominal) as the sun god Ra, Amon, and Osiris.Each male god had a female goddess consort. Osiris, the god of t he perfectly and of fertility, was married to Isis, the goddess of magic and love. They had a son, named Horus. The Mesopotamian cultivations had religions that had many gods and goddesses as well. Male and female divinities, gods and goddesses of war. Ishtar is a study divinity in Mesopotamian religions. another(prenominal) similarity between the major culture areas religions is that their gods and goddesses often guard a human form, and an animal form.When talking about war and the wrack the cities of Mesopotamia were walled, to protect themselves from conquest from their neighbors. warfare developed and became more sophisticated in Mesopotamia. The wheel was developed in Mesopotamia, but the Egyptians never invented it The Hyksos, who invaded Egypt about 1750 BC, introduced both the wheel and the horse, in the form of the chariot. Egypt developed quite an late in terms of the art of war. I settle that Mesopotamia both present similarities and differences but ultimately a ffect the mien we live today.Thanks to the ideas and trial and error of the superannuated civilizations we can live the life we have today. For example, Mesopotamia invented the wheel. Thanks to them we have things such as bikes, cars, trains, airplanes, wheel-barrels and much more. Also, the Hebrew religion was created tens of thousands of days ago and affects many religions today such as Christianity. So I conclude that both Egypt and Mesopotamia played a major role in the development of society and civilization today.
