The first civilizations began in Western Asia and Egypt. The way we determine how civilization came about is through science. Archaeologists find many signs of civilization in ancient ruins. No records were contained but scientists were able to find out what happened many years ago. The first humanlike creatures were hominids or Australopithecines. Hominids had the ability to walk upright and were the first to create stone tools. A new form of hominid was discovered…

The first civilization is found in Genesis 4:17 when Cain built a city, Enoch. Many different aspects of life developed in the city that Cain had built but none of it was pleasing to the Lord because men did not call on the name of the Lord (New International Version). We also see civilization reoccur when God sent the Flood to destroy the wicked world because Noah was the only righteous man. God allowed Noah to survive the Flood so that He could rebuild the world through Noah (Genesis 6-9, New International Version). Genesis 9:1 says, “Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth” (New International Version). Noah rebuilt the earth and increased the population like God commanded him. Civilization was established in the world after the flood when God commanded in Genesis 11:7, “Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other” (New International Version). This was the beginning of new cultures and language like we have…

Mesopotamia is the first place where humans formed civilization. Early settlers camped together and started to create villages and towns. Eventually these towns became large cities. They needed law and order so they created a government. There were many civilizations in mesopotamia. Some of them included the Sumerians, the Persians, the Babylonians, the Akkadians, and the Assyrians.…

The three cultures that merged in Mesopotamia were Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian. Sumerian was about 2350 B.C. Akkadian rose about 2000 B.C. Babylonian came along about 1600 B.C. History began at Sumer (Mattews, Noble, & Platt, 2014).…
Mesopotamia, also known as the land between two rivers, became the grounds of many ancient civilizations that we know about today. Perhaps one of the most famous is Sumer. Sumer was a civilization that thrived off of the two river, the Tigris and the Euphrates. Using irrigation systems, the Sumerians used the floods of the rivers produced to grow crops and support the growing population. This civilization grew into an early form of a modern city, with things like business, jobs, currency, and social classes. How were the Sumerians able to keep track of money and payments and when floods happened without a writing system? Eventually, the Sumerians were able to create to world's earliest writing system to keep record of all this. Later, that system evolved and became what we…
Urban societies developed from about 5000 years ago which led to the first civilizations which shared important features including cities, armies, religious power structures, political organizations, and specialization of labor (e.g. wheel-makers), and record keeping. Wealth was accumulated leading to warfare between settled communities and with their pastoralist neighbors, which in turn led to a demand for more technologies of war and city defense.…
The first civilization was Sumer and they believed in polytheism or the belief in many gods or goddess. They believed that four main gods created the world the god of the sky, wind, foothills, and fresh water. A city-state was built around the ziggurat, it is where the people of the city-state come and worship their god or goddess. In Sumer the priests were the leaders of the city-states. Then by 2375 B.C. Sumer was controlled by one king. In Mesopotamia here were three classes thee upper, in-between, and lower classes.…
