Uniting people (geographical contributions)


In many regions of the world there are difficulties in certain regions or living environments, this leads to some cultures/people that are all living in a certain neading to combine to help each other. Such as, along the Nile due to some of the hardships for the farmers they came together and developed innovations in order to bring water to the fields, and also take water away when it over flooded. Also lots of great inventions have been invented due to the geographical layout of the land. For example, the ancient Egyptians developed a calendar (just like ours is today) based on the sun. They divided their calendar based on their three seasons (Inundation, emergence, and harvest.) In Egypt some of the small farming villages also expanded and became the capitals of city-states (nomes.) And eventually the nomes came together and became two kingdoms, lower and upper Egypt.
