1. river-valley civilizations developed in sumer, egypt, china, and the indus river valley. after following the procedures in the planning a compare and contrast essay worksheet, write an essay comparing and contrasting these civilizations.

In all of the four river valley civilizations, religion was one of the biggest contributors to shaping each and every civilization. Religious leaders would play a very big role in all of the river valley civilizations. In China, people gained their governing rights by a mandate of heaven creating very long lines of dynasties until the common people of China decided that the dynasty had lost the favor of the Gods. But, in the Indus River Valley, the priests were referred as the head officials who had different amounts of authority. In Egypt, the pharaoh was seen as a God to the people and was then given his right as the supreme ruler in the eyes of the people. Though in Sumer, the kingdoms were organized into city-states and the different Kings ruled each city-states for their gods. The kings were assisted by priests, nobles, and scribed. But before the kings came, the priests were the one who would rule over all of  Sumer.

which empire had the greatest influence on the history and cultural development of russia?

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
