A)THE RISE OF COMPLEX CIVILIZATION IN EGYPT
The rise of the ancient Egyptian civilization can be attributed to the seasonal flooding of the Nile river. At a certain time each year the Nile river rises flooding the agricultural plains of the ancient Egyptians. After the waters recede what is left behind is a rich mud filled with nutrients ideal for growing crops. Combined with their knowledge of agriculture and the creation of water ways for irrigation the Egyptians were able to have a thriving agricultural economy which other civilizations at the time were unable to rival due to possession of the Egyptians of the Nile river basins which fertilized their fields naturally. It was due to this that the ancient Egyptians were able support an expansion of their civilization and had enough resources and supplies to conquer other territories.

B)THE RISE OF COMPLEX CIVILIZATION IN MESOPOTEMIA
was one of the areas where writing was first invented
The situation of the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations along the Tigris and Euphrates and the branches of these rivers was instrumental in the prosperity of the numerous cities present. The rivers provided a rich source of water for agriculture as well as fish and clay for building buildings. Not only that but the placement of the numerous cities along the banks of the river made it an ideal location for trade and travel which made it a major trading hub for numerous suppliers and traders. The region was also known for being one of the first areas where writing was invented as such they were able to keep accurate records and written works which enabled the civilization to flourish intellectually as well as culturally.

C)THE RISE OF COMPLEX CIVILIZATION IN INDUS
The civilization of Indus can be considered one of the most advanced civilizations at the height of its power. They were able to develop advanced techniques of metallurgy and were able to produce copper, bronze, lead and tin which resulted in a great diversity in the types of jewelry they wore, their instruments for carving and construction not to mention their art which resembles materials used today. Just as the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations were situated near river banks the ancient Indus civilization was also situated near a river bank which helped in the production of agricultural products and a flourishing trade industry.

D)DISCUSS THE RISE OF MAYA CIVILIZATION IN MESOAMERICA.
The Mesoamerica civilization which was in existence 6000 BCE was one of the most advanced civilizations in South America at the time. They didnt situate theyre civilizations right next to rivers rather they were situated either in highlands and lowlands relying on a small agricultural industry for subsistence and had a hunter gatherer culture. They are famous for their stone cutting and building skills which resulted in some of the most advanced stone made structures to date and developed their own calendar system based on the placement of the stars, sun and seasons.

E)COMPARE AND CONTRAST BETWEEN CIVILIZATION MESOAMERICA AND EGYPT
While both civilizations had advanced stone working skills the Egyptian civilization with its more advanced agricultural industry brought about by the yearly flooding of the Nile river could be considered a more advanced civilization for not only did they possess a better agricultural system they were a sea faring civilization with extensive trade routes which took advantage of their placement near the Nile river. The ancient Mesoamerica civilization did not possess such advantages and had to rely on animal transport to ferry goods for trade due to their locations being varied from either the highlands or lowlands.
