Chapter Three Continuation: Comparing Mesopotamia and Egypt

In this section of the book they compare the Mesopotamians and the Egypt to each other. Something else that they talked about was about their civilization. The book told us that the civilization of both Mesopotamia and Egypt grew up in river valley and depended on their rivers to sustain a productive agriculture in otherwise arid lands. Another interesting things that this section told us was that the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers gave life to Mesopotamian civilization. In Egypt the culture developed in a more "stable, predictable, and beneficent environment". That produced a rather more cheerful and hopeful outlook on the world. Those things from this section got my attention because I feel that I learned something about the Mesopotamian people and the Egypt's people.
