In this chapter, we explore the essential elements that define early civilizations, which emerged after the Neolithic Revolution and gained prominence between 3500 B.C.E. and 1200 B.C.E. This guide prompts self-assessment by asking if you've engaged with the texts and recognized significant terms. Key characteristics of civilizations, including their monumental architecture, complex social hierarchies, and the rise of powerful states are examined. You'll also create a poster applying five historical themes to an early civilization. Be ready to present your findings!
