what are the differences between the nile river and the mesapolenia river?

Question

please help me is my homework

Answer 1

Mesapolenia? I think perhaps you mean Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia isn't a river, it is a place. The name means literally "between the rivers" and refers to the strip of land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Answer 2

The Nile River is in Africa. As far as I know there is no river called the Mesapolenia (I think you mean Mesopotamia) River. The two rivers in Mesopotamia are the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers. The Nile River had regular and predictable floods whereas the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were a lot more variable and unpridictable. This led to differences in the type of gods the people believed in, with Egyptian gods being benevolent and Mesopotamian gods being vengeful.

Differences between Mesopotamia and Egypt

Ancient Egypt was built to the southeast of Mesopotamia. Egypt was built in the fertile area on both sides of the Nile River. The basis for Mesopotamia was in the Fertile Crescent, specifically the area between the Tigris and Euphrates River. Both of these civilizations were created around a very important source, water.

Water is a very important basis of life. It is only natural that civilization start around such an essential source. The water was important for many reasons. The most important reason was agriculture. As many of Egyptian's paintings show, grain was a very important element in society. In Mesopotamia the planting wasn't limited to just the riverbank where it flooded. Mesopotamians used canals.

The social structure of Mesopotamia and Egypt were different. In Mesopotamia there was no gender equality. However, in ancient Egypt, as exampled in female pharos, females had more opportunities to rise in life. In Mesopotamia, although they had different classes of slaves, they were still treated like property. In both societies the very few elite held enormous wealth, while the common people normally just got by day-by-day.

One aspect that was very different in both Egypt and Mesopotamia was the government. In Egypt, most of the time they had just one leader--the pharaoh. Egypt would have needed this strong central government for projects such as organizing and overseeing of the pyramid buildings. The early Mesopotamians used a city-state type government. Each area was controlled by its own political and economical center. Each area was a separate political unit.

Mesopotamia had advanced metallurgy techniques for working with bronze, lead, silver, and gold. Because examples of the pottery spun on a wheel were found from about 3000 B.C., the invention wheel is credited to Mesopotamia. We still don't know all of the technology that Egypt use used to build the pyramids. The architecture and engineering skills involved still have modern experts amazed. While the Mesopotamian's didn't have anything quit to scale with the pyramids, they did use and build ziggurats.

Both civilizations were centered on religion. Egypt believed in many gods. Even the pharaohs were believed to be gods. The gods Mesopotamia believed in tended to be absolute rulers to whom the people owed total devotion. In both civilizations religious leaders were given very high status and held in high regard.

Cities, architecture, and lots of small inventions are credited from having come from these two civilizations. One of the most noticeable achievements we received was writing. Mesopotamia also created the earliest recoded rules for improving life ever found. We have barely even begun to realize and understand all the legacies that were handed down from these two civilizations.
