The prupose of this written is to learn about the River Valley Civilizations. In this work I will explain how this cultures have contributed for the actual history and how some achivemts that this cultures had accomplished are reflected on the society that we are living today. Here in this essay I will talk about Sumerians, Egyptians, Harrapans and the Chinese culture. The things that these cultures share in common is the fact that all four of them where localizade between river valleys. These river valley were the ones that allowed communities to stay in one place because they had water accesibility to grow crops and stablishe a civilization.
The sumerian culture was a group of people that were important to he history because their structures of temple help the new world to develop the cities that we have know. The architectual inovations that this culture did was the development of arches, columns, ramps and a new structure of doing a temple called Zuggurrats. This new improvements of the architecture lead workers to construct irrigation ditches; this supplied water to their fields. This contribution influences future civilizations because they helped with the administration of water. Summerian's written system was named Cuneiform they did this by using stone and it was the first written system created in the empire. They influenced this written to future civilizacion because their method for tracking things was written and they used Cueniform as a guide to create their own type of writting as Egyptians did.
Egyptian culture principal symbol of representation are the famouse pyramids. This places was build because it was the tomb of their pharaohs. Egyptians belive that the Pharaoh was the most important person in the society; even if they died they still thought that they were the most important ones. This culture goverment structure was ocracy, it is based on religion; ( in this case the pharaho was the one that ruled). I think that this culture was organized socially better than the Sumerians because each person had a specific role and job in the "society". Egyptians invented the pictographs. This new writting system was based on pictures and where also used as sound that they used. The Egyptians develop this written in a type of paper that is called papyrus, now that they had this materials they took advantage of it and did a calendar to control the Nile river. In my opinion this culture evolved a lot creating new instruments that helped them to advanced very much.
The harrapan was a culture that stablished at the Indus and Ganges Rivers. This culture didn't did lots of advances but the few ones that they did where very hudge. Harrapan's start the development of the written lenguaje in a way that the people that where more civilazate could undertand this type of communication. This is a very big advance because people could start to develop new skills and evolve even more. This culture use the water that the nature allowed them to used by subministrating it to the food fields and to the rest of the community. They also started trading new things and they used a lot the river in many diferents and contributing ways.The main and most important advances that Harrapan's did was the trating, the new form of writting things and the crop surpluses, at this point of the history was the start of a new structure of a civilizate society.
The next culture was established between the Yangtze and the yellow river. It was the river civilization that was develoo in China. They develop new things as art, new ways of agriculture, they develop a new system of the division of labor and culture, they "create" the civil service system. This culture is the one that prove us that it was the most advanced because now they where thinking aboyt douing a society and constructing new architecture stiles. This civilizatio was the best of the four now three orevious mention because it learned how to used the soil better and have a system based on agriculture, they started growing up rice and then they advance and harvest more things. Today China use some things that past cultures used to mantein their little society like the flood systems that Egyptians used and the used of soil that Chinese culture did to cultivate their rice.
While the time had pass lots of changes had happen in the world changing history. These four cultures had make big and small changes. Each one of them had develop a new and different writting system that with the pass of time it had evolved a lot becoming in one of the most important types of communication that our society use. In this proces of learning the evolution of the cultures and how they develop architecture at this time of history that the conditions where not the best for doing new things I learn that the rivers where the principal and the fundamental thing to this civilizations so they could finally establish and create a society in one place.
