Paper details:
Between 3500 BCE and 1500 BCE, complex societies formed in Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus River Valley, and China’s Huang He (Yellow River) Valley. These societies developed along parallel lines in many ways, but they also encountered challenges and benefits unique to their specific locations. Identify and explain two structures in two different societies that mirrored one another and two structures in the same two societies that differed from one another. To what factors do you attribute the differences?
In your responses to classmates, try to consider how far these similarities and differences extended over time. Ask your colleagues whether or not they can offer evidence that these societies became more alike or different over their 3,000-year histories. What evidence can you offer? In your responses, cite specific examples from your classmates’ posts, your textbook, the module’s readings, and any independent research.
