2.+Introducing+Civilizations

=Introducing the Civilizations= Two different civilizations, one is Ancient Mayan, the other one is Ancient Egypt. Both ages ago, both our past and I'll introduce them to you. I will be comparing them and looking what they got in common too. For these I'm going to use a Venn diagram and I'll write about the most important things because there are a lot of things, so for me the most important things to write about and do the comparison about are this:
 * Belief Systems
 * Government
 * Art
 * Writing
 * Agriculture
 * Tools and Weapons

Anyways, here are the civilizations:

Ancient Egypt:
Ancient Egypt is one of the ancient civilizations, actually the first one that ever exist after the hominids and they lived in eastern North Africa near the Nile river because next to a river there is always fertile land. The civilization grew in 3150 B.C. and the rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when Egypt fell to the Roman Empire and became a Roman province. Egyptians got many Pyramids which is the actual tomb of their pharaoh which are king some sort of.

Ancient Maya:
Ancient Maya developed in the south of Mexico and some in central America. I'm not sure which river was the one they were very near to but, I think is San Juan which was in Teotihuacan. They weren't the same old as the Egyptians, they grew in 200 B.C. and died in 1500 A.D. Mayans had pyramids to and they still there. There were 2 different types of Mayan pyramids, the first one was sacred, it was made up as a monument and it wasn't suppose to be for climbing up. They made other ones for climbing up. In the pyramids for climbing up, sometimes they had doorways that that lead to nowhere.The second type was often used for carrying up dead bodies for sacrificial rituals.

Theory:
Before doing my project, I'll just guess that Ancient Maya was better for the needs of the community because it had more things such as agriculture, hunters, more people, etc., etc. Even though the government wasn't fair at all, they worked more in teamwork. Ancient Egypt was good too. It had more fair government and a lot of good things.
