Chapter Three Continuation: The Rise of the State

In this section of chapter three they talked about the writing in ancient civilization. It told us where it was located, the type, the initial use, an example, and a comment about the writing. Some of the locations it gave us were Egypt, Summer, Andean, Indus River Valley, China, and Olmec. Also the example it gave us were like drawings of things. What am trying to say by this is that for example if you wanted to write an horse you would had to draw it instead. Another thing that this section talked about was about the Olmec Head. Something that it oldies was that there head were almost or were to six feet high and five feet wide. I think that was something amazing. I think this because we never see things like those heads now a days.
