A. The first civilizations – Mesopotamia , Egypt , Babylon , and Sumeria – developed in the near east in the
Fertile Crescent along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers bordered by the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf. They
invented the wheel and established the earliest rudiments of mathematics, science and writing.
These were hydraulic societies (water control for food production); that required huge public projects, subsidized by
the state. The political powers had control of and supported science and technology.
Similar and almost simultaneous civilizations arose in India, Mesoamerica, South America and China .
All of these civilizations had a need to control access to water – either too much or too little. In order to sustain
larger numbers of people, storage facilities and housing had to be built – on a large scale. These were major
undertakings, beyond the capacity of small groups of people. Because of their size, these civilizations had the ability
to produce vast wealth and power, which attracted ambitious, power-hungry people and gave rise to the notion of a
supreme ruler.
