During this time these civilizations were the most powerful in the world. At their height, these empires had populations of around fifty million people, and they both covered approximately two million square miles. The Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty both sought to protect their trade routes (the Roman Empire had the Mediterranean and the Han Dynasty had the Silk Road).

These empires also developed an infrastructure to make communication, access to resources, and movement of military much easier. The Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty both involved in economic activities that were designed to ensure a stable social and political order, and they used bureaucracy and taxation to provision major cities.

    Along with the new religion, another foolish decision he made was creating a new capital city. There were no capital cities in ancient Egypt before this time. During Akhenaten’s rule he created a capital city of Akhenaten. Many people flocked there, seeing the wealth of possibilities that it could hold. The reason that this new city’s formation was an issue was due to the cities that were “once-thriving administrative centers . . . stood idle” (Redford 153). These previously thriving cities were Thebes and Memphis. These cities were known far and wide to be religious and governmental centers. With the shift in religion the major buildings in these cities were torn down. Since these cities used to be very religious they were home to many statues and temples worshiping the old gods. The inhabitants of Thebes and Memphis lived in rubble after the king brought his new religion and tore down any reference to the old religion. Not only did the religious areas in these cities get destroyed, but since ancient Egypt was a theocracy, governmental buildings were also taken down and left desolate. Redford reiterates this when he explains that “temples and governmental offices had been virtually shut down” (153). Not many people stayed in those cities except for the ones with strong ties to those cities. There were very few things that the people in those areas could do for work, besides farming, since the government was now run out of Akhenaten. Explains how “great cities of Memphis and Thebes were no longer thriving centers as they had been for some 1,700 years” (Rupert…

    Essay On Assyrian Women

    • 721 Words

    "Babe, go make me a sandwich." Since the dawn of time, women have been considered inferior to men. Most societies throughout history viewed women as poisonous or unimportant compared to male counterparts. Men provide for the family; the woman cleans, cooks, and stays silent. Two of the most contradicting societies were the Greeks and the Assyrians. Women in Hellenistic Greece were treated with more respect than women in Assyrian societies because Greek men saw women as angelic, perfect, chaste, and innocent with no possible way of "poisoning" a man. "Poisoning" refers to destroying the man's chances at reaching the afterlife, which Assyrians did not believe in. The Assyrians also had a very pessimistic outlook on life, which influenced the thoughts on men and women during the time period.…
