The Indus valley was surrounded by barriers. One of the barriers was the Hindu Kush mountains. The mountains were not easy to cross so trade out side if the valley was not easy. Another important feature was the Indus River. The river provided water and transportation. To the south they had the Arabian sea. This was a border that enemies could not cross so it added protection.

A scribe was a very important person. They were trained to write cuneiform and record many languages spoken in Mesopotamia. Without scribes, letters would not have been written or read, royal monuments would not have been carved with cuneiform, and stories would have been told and then forgotten. Scribes wrote on different shaped objects depending on the type of information they wanted to record.

The ancient Egyptians had had clocks. Their clocks were very different from ours, they also had two kinds of clocks, a water clock and a sundial. A water clock is a little stand with a pot on the top of the stand and a pot at the bottom of the stand. The pot at the top had a hole drilled in the side. This pot was filled with water and the water would flow out out of the top of the pot down to the bottom of the pot. When the water was at a certain level, it was a certain time. The only disadvantage was you had to keep refilling it.

The ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the black land and the red land. The black land was the fertile land on the banks of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians used this land for growing crops. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed. The red land was the barren desert that protected Egypt on two sides. The red land also provided Egypt with precious metals and semi-precious stones.

Cities in ancient Egypt grew out of the development of agriculture and the emergence of the state as the unifying and predominant form of political organization. However, even as early as 3500 B.C. towns and cities consisted of regional capitols linked to the population centers of smaller administrative districts.

Many buildings in Rome were built around the forum. Traditionally this had been a market place and an area where people met. Therefore, a second city center was planned and built some distance from the forum, but still in Rome itself. The most famous place in Rome was probably the colesseum, where thousands of Romans would gather for entertainment.
