1 Ancient River Valley Civilizations
2 Mesopotamia People settled near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers around 3,500 BC
3 Modern Day
4 Farming in Mesopotamia Flood plains were very fertile and used for growing crops such as wheat and barley.
5 Sumerian Society Several city-states in the Fertile Crescent Believed in many gods (polytheism) Gods had power over nature People were just servants/ went to joyless place under Earth after death Society broken into classes Priests/Kings Wealthy merchants Common workers Women had some rights slaves
6 The Sumerians Face Problems 1) Floods were irregular Maybe April, maybe June..? Hot sun baked the land into clay when floods passed 2) Villages had no protection from invaders - no natural barriers 3) The area lacked stone, wood, and metal for tools
7 Problems Solved Dug ditches to bring water to crops Built walls of baked mud for defense Traded extra food for needed materials
8
9 Notable Inventions Sail Wheel Plow First to use bronze First system of writing (on clay tablets) Cuneiform Arithmetic & geometry Helped build large structures
10 Empire Fighting between city-states made Sumerians weak Sargon defeats Sumer and others in 2350 BC Unites city-states into an empire King Hammurabi takes over about 1790 BC Establishes harsh code of laws First king of Babylonian Empire
11 Egypt Very hot and dry!
12 The Egyptian civilization was dependent on the river Nile. The Nile was considered a gift from the gods.
13
14 The Nile flooded regularly (usually June). Sometimes flooded to much, not enough Cultivated wheat and barley Used irrigation The ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the 'black land' and the 'red land'. The Nile River provided drinking water, water for bathing, transportation, and trade.
15 Egyptian Protection
16 Egyptian Culture Originally started as two kingdoms Upper & lower, united around 3,100 BC Ruled by Pharaohs Seen as a god, eternal spirits pyramids theocracy Egyptians believed in many gods (polytheism) More than 2,000 People judged at death (afterlife) Heart eaten or live forever Royals and elites were mummified
17
18 Egyptian Technology Writing was a key to growth Hieroglyphics.papyrus Developed a calendar 365 days, 12 months, 30 days in each, 5+ for holidays/feasts System of numbers, geometry pyramids First to use stone columns in architecture Medicine Pulse, splints, some surgery
19 Indus Valley The Indus and Ganges Rivers
20 Indian Subcontinent: Separated from the rest of Asia
21 River flooding in the Indus Valley was also unpredictable. Like other civilizations, the floods were vital to farming the area. The Indus and Ganges carried silt like the Nile, Euphrates, and Tigris
22 Monsoons dominate India s climate (often unpredictable) Dry October-February Often very wet June-October Drought/Crop disasters occur when summer monsoon winds fail to develop
23 Harappan Culture Written language (undeciphered) Few social divisions Possible theocracy Polytheism (links to Hinduism) Trade with Mesopotamians
24 Buried cities found in the Indus Valley are at least as old as the first pyramids of Egypt. They had broad streets, fine brick buildings, bathrooms, and drainage systems. (strong central government)
25 Protection and Geography Natural borders consisted of mountains, deserts, and the Arabian Sea, sheltering the civilization from attack. Desert also provided protection from invasion.
26 Ancient China The Yellow (Huang He) and Yangtze Rivers. Yellow River is said to be the cradle of Chinese civilization.
27 Protecting China
28 The fertile areas of Eastern China are surrounded by deserts, vast steppes, high mountains and impassable jungles. Because of this the early civilization of China developed more independently than those of the Indus, Tigris and Euphrates, and Nile River valleys, which were always in contact with each other. This gave rise to a feeling in China was the world, that it was "All Under Heaven", surrounded by lesser regions populated by barbarians.
29 Yellowish silt, loess, soil blown from the deserts of the west and north
30 Farming China The people of northern China settled along the Yellow River and grew millet in fertile soil. The people of southern China grew mainly rice near the Yangtze River.
31 Farming China The flooding of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers wasn t the only reason for fertile farm lands. The summer monsoon season supplies ample rainfall.
32 Environmental Challenges Yellow River AKA China s Sorrow often had disastrous floods Geographic isolation led to china having to be selfsufficient Only 10 percent of China s land is suitable for farming
33 Chinese believed they were the center of the civilized world Groups more important than individual Family Respect for one s parents Strong social divisions King ruled over warrior-nobles and peasants Chinese Culture
34 Religion Strong family ties Ancestors could bring good fortune Worshipped a supreme being and lesser gods Oracle bone
35 Chinese Communication No links between Chinese written and spoken language People in all parts learn the same writing system Helped unify all of china Thousands of characters in the language Very difficult Typically, only nobles and their children were educated
36 Dynastic Rule Rulers had the Mandate of Heaven Royal authority comes from heaven Feudalism develops King gives land to nobles Peasants work the land Nobles owe loyalty to king and protection to peasants
37 Technology & Trade Roads and Canals are built Improves agriculture and trade Coined money was used Cast iron Axes & swords
