Egypt, Mesopotamia, Shang/Zhou dynasties/China, and the Indus Valley are all different ancient river valley civilizations. All have different aspects of civilizations. Some aspects of civilization include technology, writing/language, specialized jobs, government, etc. These decisions were made based on the climate and biome the civilization was located in.

Writing included many things, but some of the more important ones were a government building, a library, and a written language.

There is a school of thought that tends to assume that government may have been established based on some building activity by some community of men. Ancient ruins discovered indicate that such buildings could not have been erected without a highly developed system of government. This is because such architecture requires high levels of control and coordination to put up. This is also because it required a highly developed corporate structure based on written charters and constitutions. Early British Masonic manuscripts contain three classes of material, which include legends of the early craft, regulations and Masonic ceremonies.
First, the civilization and agriculture in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia were mainly spreading from the Nile River and the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, those rivers bred the agriculture and supported human’s everyday lives on both two regions. There are several evidences support this point. “The Mesopotamian civilizations steadily expanded from their roots in the fertile valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers throughout their centuries of existence.” ( Stearns, Adas, Schwartz and Gilbert, World Civilizations:The Global Experience, Combined Volume, 34) This evidence shows that the geographic impact influenced a lot on Mesopotamia’s agriculture and its civilization.

The Minoan civilization is an Aegean Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete and flourished from approximately 2000BC. It is credited as the first European civilization to use a written language – known as Linear A.

For about six centuries they prospered, exercising a cultural hegemony over more or less the whole of the Aegean Sea, until the abrupt demise around 1380 BC. The factors to bring about the end of the Minoan period are still intensely debated, though many theories seem to go along with Jared Diamond’s theories regarding a collapse of a civilization—
Arts and literature are products of a culture and are used to spread that culture around the world. Language is another section of culture.
