- Early humans in Africa began developing writing systems as far back as 30,000 years ago, making marks and symbols on cave walls to communicate ideas. These early forms of visual communication evolved into more complex systems over thousands of years.
- In Mesopotamia, the Sumerians invented one of the earliest systems of writing called cuneiform around 3100 BC. They developed pictographs carved into clay tablets using reed styluses. Over time, the pictographs became more abstract and took the wedge-shaped (cuneiform) form. Cuneiform was widely adopted across Mesopotamian civilizations and used to record laws, contracts, and other important documents.

Egypt was home to several ancient civilizations from 3100 BC to 332 BC. The geography of Egypt centered around the Nile River, which provided fertile land for agriculture. Egyptian society was stratified, with pharaohs at the top ruling through governors and civil servants. Religion was central to Egyptian life, with many gods and grand temples and pyramids constructed in their honor. The Egyptians also had strong beliefs about preserving bodies and providing for the afterlife.
Mesopotamia was located between two rivers from 6000BC to 605BC. It consisted of city-states with ziggurats (temples), markets, and houses. Farmers, fishermen, traders, and agricultors made up the economy, with kings, military commanders, and priests comprising the privileged class. Society was organized hierarchically, with kings having absolute power over military commanders, priests, farmers, craftsmen, and slaves. Gods like Adapa, Anat, Anshar, and Anu were part of their polytheistic religion, and the cuneiform writing system was developed.
The document provides an overview of the Roman Empire from 27 BC to 476 AD. It summarizes the key aspects of the empire, including its geographic reach across Europe, North Africa and Western Asia, its political organization under emperors and administration, and its social hierarchy dominated by patricians, plebeians, freedmen and slaves. The empire spread Roman culture and Latin language widely through the process of Romanization. It developed advanced architecture, converted to Christianity in the 4th century AD, and saw economic growth through agriculture, trade and crafts before its eventual decline and fall in the 5th century AD.
This document provides an overview of the Roman Republic from 509 BC to 27 AD. It covers several topics including landscapes and architecture, the economy focused on agriculture and trade, social classes, political organization including the republic and assemblies, laws, important persons like the Gracchi brothers, and religion. The Roman Republic developed roads, aqueducts, and other infrastructure to connect important buildings and cities to support trade. The economy was based on agriculture using innovations like the plow and irrigation, as well as long-distance trade importing and exporting goods. Politically it was a democracy without a king where citizens voted for magistrates and senators who proposed and passed laws.
Classical Greece was organized around citizens, who were adult men born to citizen parents. They participated in politics through the Ecclesia and Heliaia courts and served in the military.

Archaic Greece had a mountainous landscape with many valleys and trees like olives and elms. The time period was between 776 BC to 499 BC. Agriculture was very important, with farmers raising animals like sheep and horses and growing cereals, wheat, barley, and cultivating olive trees. The Greeks were polytheistic and worshipped gods on Mount Olympus. Their architecture used columns and harmonious proportions. Sculptures depicted idealized beauty and movement. The economy relied on livestock, agriculture, crafts like pottery and metallurgy of silver and gold, and trade of goods like wine, olive oil, and ceramics between city-states and abroad using coins. Politically the kings
Agriculture along the Nile River was the main economic activity in Ancient Egypt. The Egyptians grew crops like wheat and barley and engaged in irrigation by building dikes and canals. Crafts like linen textiles, jewelry, and pottery were also important, and there was no official currency. Trade along the Nile and with other regions was a key part of the economy, with exports of grains, linens, and minerals. Egypt had abundant mineral resources, mining gold, emeralds, limestone, and iron in various locations.
