Their advanced agricultural techniques, natural resources and the management of land and water enhanced their agriculture and brought abundant and dependable food supply for the growing population in the Maya empire.

Another document that would tie into this would be document 4 for the reason it having to relate to astronomy. Thought not much is said about document 4 we know that it has to deal the movement of the celestial bodies as an astronomer and this would happen better back then if they had the technology we do now to predict weather that could either effect or benefit crop

The rivers that these civilizations were built around directly impacted the way they viewed their gods. The Nile was a very strong and reliable river. It flooded annually blessing the Ancient Egyptians with a richer agriculture then Ancient Mesopotamians. (pg 17) Because of this the Egyptians viewed their gods as reliable beings who wanted to help them.

The Egyptians depended on the Nile River. The Nile river was one of Egypt’s biggest resource.

This had drastically allowed Egyptians to avoid collisions with neighboring kingdoms. Mesopotamia, on the other hand, was literally sandwiched between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, indicating its name and how it was originated. However, unlike the Nile, the rivers were significant to irrigation systems which has enabled the civilization to further develop agricultural aspects, in additional, transportation was also supported for trading with other neighbouring areas. Though settling in this region would easily allow neighboring kingdoms and empires

The river allowed the soil on the riverbanks to be enriched with nutrients, thus allowing the Egyptians to develop agricultural practices and grow numerous crops. . The river also allowed the Egyptians to bathe, travel, catch fish and drink the water. This then resulted in a lacklustre chance of famine from occurring. The Ancient Egyptians constructed their own dwellings by creating their properties out of mud-bricks, using materials provided by the rich soil of the river Nile.

With the rivers located just by ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, both civilizations’ culture depended on agriculture, and were formed around agricultural communities which supplied them with food. In Egypt, the annual flooding of the Nile contributed to their development in agriculture, while Mesopotamians depended on the Euphrates river, which was less dependable than the Nile because of its unpredictable flooding. The flooding of the two rivers in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia left a fertile layer of soil, making it easier to plant crops and allowing both communities to depend on their rivers for

Civilizations succeeded in these environments because they could settle down and not live a nomadic lifestyle. Because the land was arable, agriculture prospered and people relied on the geography to grant them the elements needed for survival. In China and Egypt, geography greatly influenced and affected the lives of the people living there because of the prosperous rivers and large natural barriers.

Before paper trails and written work was developed and comprehended there was an era called prehistory. This era, that lacked written communication, excelled in the growth and development of agriculture. With an expansion of agriculture, civilizations were formed alongside rivers. Among the new civilizations were Mesopotamia, in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates River, and Egypt, beside the Nile River. These civilizations varied because one was formed between two rivers and the other was constructed along the sides of a river.

Rome and Egypt A civilization’s influence on the world can stretch all around the world. Depending on the civilization, their influence can live past multiple generations and show its elements in current day society.
