  4. Ancient Environments All ancient civilizations developed in river valleys, because water was needed to drink, cook, wash, irrigate the crops, and for transportation. 2) The rivers would flood their banks (usually during the spring time) and provide fertile silt. 3) The physical features one would see occur naturally (they are not made by humans). Examples are: deserts, mountains, valleys, plains, plateaus, basins, bays, gulfs, seas, and oceans.

  5. Ancient Economies All ancient people began the exchange of goods through trading one item for something else. This is called barter. 2) Later coins were used to buy items. This is called money economy. 3) Each Civilization could produce different items to export (send out) so they could import (bring in) the items they needed. 4) For a list of exports (surplus items) and imports (needed items) check this out: Mesopotamia p. 64 “Changing Economy” Egypt pp. 111-2 “Early People of Nubia” China pp. 169-170 “Trade on the Silk Road” India pp. 190-1 “The Golden Age of India”

  7. Ancient Religions All ancient civilizations developed religion to explain the unknown events of nature. 2) They created gods who had the power to make natural events happen. 3) If they worship many gods this is called Polytheism.
