Egyptian Empires And Mesopotamia Similarities

The two empires had a geographic similarity. Mesopotamia has the legitimate meaning of the land between the rivers, as it had been bordered by the Tigris and the Euphrates. Although little rainfall occured in the region, the two rivers provided a large quantity of fresh water that would be the key to small scale irrigation which would then lead into artificial irrigation. The Mesopotamians figured out a way to use the fertile land provided by the fresh water sources to create an abundance of agricultural harvests and with the success of agriculture, population increased. As the economic advances continued and more people flocked to Mesopotamia, the cities soon became busy marketplaces that attracted consumers and producers from near and far.
