Mesopotamians and Egypt
Mesopotamians and Egypt civilizations had both, respectively achieved a lot for their era. Both of these
civilizations had many things in common but they also had some stuff that was different. The
Mesopotamians had made one of the biggest inventions in the world that is still being used; The Wheel.
They had made the wheel in order to carry heavy loads and to get to other places faster. When they
connected the wheel to the chariot they were able to accomplish this. The Egyptians also made one of
the biggest inventions to this day. They had created paper. This was a great accomplishment at that
time. As you can see both of these cultures have played an important role in our lives by making many
of these great inventions.
The Egyptians had made many things and many improvements that we can see in our daily lives.
The Egyptians were one of the first ones to have created a writing system. It had been called
Hieroglyphics. It had consisted of 700 words that were later changed. As I have said before they had
also invented paper. The paper that they made was made from papyrus and they made a complicated
process to make paper from the papyrus. The Egyptians were the first to make the triangular pyramids
too. There purpose for the pyramids were to bury their dead kings and pharaohs. The egyptians made
many great things that have assisted as, even in this time.
The Mesopotamians had also invented many great things. Their greatest of the greatest was the
wheel. It was a revolutionary invention that helped them in many things such as moving heavy weights
without carrying it and traveling from one place to another. The Mesopotamians also discovered glass
in a way. This is also one gigantic aspect that they made that we use in everyday of our lives. The
Mesopotamians were also very skilled in warfare and they made many weapons such as daggers and

spears. The Mesopotamians were a great civilization that helped us get into the shape we are in.
The Egyptians and the Mesopotamians have many things alike and at the same time some things
that are different. For example, both of them made different kinds of structures and there goal was
different too. The Egyptians made their triangular pyramids to protect the dead king bodies. On the
other hand the Mesopotamians made these tower-like Zigguarts but they were not pyramids. They were
also not used to bury their dead king's bodies. But both of them had created a calender also. As you can
see they had many things in common but they also had their own different innovations.

The Egyptians and Mesopotamians were both civilizations that did great and assisted us a lot in
getting here. All there great innovations are the main reason we are here and at this level. The wheel
was a sign of creativity. The pyramids showed us how to make great monuments. They also had a few
things that were different but the general idea was always the same. As you can see, these two
civilizations made some great stuff that still helps us in this time and day.
