The civilization of Ancient Egypt, Sub-Saharan Africa, and East Mediterranean

Africa possesses environmental and cultural attributes, which have helped her shape her progress. African ecological attributes may be the past, current, or future benefits, emission reduction, allowances, and credits ascribed to energy manufacturing from resources within Egypt, sub-Saharan, and the eastern Mediterranean. Additionally, several viewpoints of the region’s culture can be attributed to the growth, while some may have delayed the progress. Ancient east Mediterranean, sub-Saharan, and Egypt are vast with distinct cultures that have contributed to these regions’ development, such as the availability of kings, agriculture, and the presence of early rivers and valleys that helped civilization and prosper. Therefore, contributions of these attributes to the regions are discussed.

The presence of powerful kings and kingdoms like the Kush Empire, the bronze kingdom, and the Aragon kingdom, which controlled the eastern Mediterranean, was one of the cultural attributes that aided the development and civilization of ancient Egypt, the eastern Mediterranean, and sub-Saharan Africa. For instance, in Egypt, the first pharaoh is believed to be the beginning of control of Egypt. He was the custodian of the military, the kingdom’s wealth, and the head of the empire. With the assistance of administrators, elite’s scribes, and religious leaders, he was able to bring Egypt together under one government. Religion also contributed highly to the civilization of these regions (Nicoll & Zerboni, 2020). (Nicoll & Zerboni, 2020). The availability of shrines and temples, which were used religiously and as a collection and storing point of society’s wealth, assisted in the civilization and prosperity of the communities. Additionally, religious and philosophical tenets also contributed to the enlightenment and worth of these regions. Among beliefs was that most of the inhabitants of these regions believed in a supernatural being that regulated their activities. Philosophically, these developments and civilizations became the background of modern philosophy. Furthermore, the undisturbed social status of the regions also contributed to the enlightenment and prosperity of these regions. These societies were significantly formed of farmers, artists, and artisans. Farmers formed the majority of the population. Together, they helped raise taxes to the governments of those societies, which aided the growth of those economies, thus facilitating faster and adequate civilization.

Hunting and gathering as a cultural attribute also contributed mainly to the civilization and prosperity of the regions. These methods allowed people to make shelters collect food and clothes for warmth (Nicoll & Zerboni, 2020). (Nicoll & Zerboni, 2020). This method allowed people to settle permanently in this region and began forming agricultural societies with a lot of productivity and leisure that helped them discover one thing after the other.

Ancient Sub-Saharan Africa, Egypt, and the eastern Mediterranean also realized civilization and prosperity due to environmental attributes. Geographical features like the river Nile and High Mountains. The availability of long rivers like the Nile and Niger contributed a lot to agricultural practices in these regions, which propelled civilization. The high mountains ranges averted major rivers to supply water even further and also being a blockade to interaction and immigration with people of the outside world who could interfere with their progress in the name of political conquests (Nicoll & Zerboni, 2020). (Nicoll & Zerboni, 2020). People could produce enough and surplus through river and valley civilizations such as Indus and Mesopotamia. Trading centers came up, and soon there were development cities. These cities consisted of tall and uniform buildings to trap wind and benchmark later civilizations. In these regions, the vastness of the land made it more reliable and ensured more peaceful coexistence amongst its inhabitants and fewer weapons which aided prosperity and civilization.

In conclusion, civilization the world over has evolved. Looking at the sophistication and prosperity of ancient sub-Saharan Africa, Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean were promoted by several factors such as economics, philosophy, geography, culture, and religion. The region’s interactions with other parts of the world, like the ancient civilization, Greeks performed a significant role in boosting their society and prosperity.
