Ancient civilization 
Mesopotamia
location: I know because the region didn't originally have a name but the ancient greeks called it mesopotamia which means the land between the rivers. Also an example is That "two great rivers flow southward through the Middle East" which were called the tigris and Euphrates Rivers. (Steele 6) 
Government
I know this because the text says “ They were also expected to be brave military commanders of great cities” it also says “ City-state rulers were honored with various titles, such as en (lord), ensi (governor, or lugal(King”. (Steele 10)
Art I know this because the text says “ The potters wheel which made poetry production far more efficient”. It also says “Copper ore was being smelted and the molten copper poured into molds as early as the fourth millennium bce. (Steele 28)
Religion
I know this because the text says “ The Sumerians worshiped many gods and goddesses”.And the text also says “ Later mesopotamian took up or adapted sumerians gods sometimes giving them new names” (Steele 14) 
Writing I know this because the writing they used was clay symbols that they molded on to clay (AKA Picture Symbols). In the text it says "At first they used picture symbols to represent objects such as cattle, grain, or fish". It also explains that " By around 3300 BCE the citizens of Uruk were using about 700 different symbols or pictographs" (Steele 12) 
Architecture I know this because the text says “A lasting symbole of Ancient Mesopotamia is the ziggurat, a massive terraced platform made of brick”. It also says “ The ziggurats themselves had small temples or shrines on top, reached by long stairways” (Steele 24)

Location The location of Egypt was mostly sand. I know this because the text says” Desert covers more than 90% of the egypt. The text also states “Called the Red Line the desert supported only small settlements in wadis and oasis”. (hart 8)
Government Government: The government in Ancient Egypt consisted of pharaohs ruling over all of the land in an advanced theocracy. I know because the text states "When people approached the king, they often kissed the ground at his feet." Which shows that they had the utmost respect for the pharaoh. Also, the author wrote "At great state occasions like royal jubilee celebrations or the giving of gifts to favored courtiers, the king and court gathered together, and top officials, diplomats, and high priests would attend." This shows an example of who was considered important and was involved in government.
(HART 12)
Religion : The ancient Egyptians believed in polytheism, and they believed that their pharaohs were gods and goddesses on Earth. I know because the text states "The Egyptians worshiped hundreds of different gods and goddesses, and sometimes it was difficult to work out who was who." This shows that they believed in Polytheism, which is the belief in more than one god or goddess. Also, the text states "Many of the gods are represented by animals: a baboon might stand for Thoth, god of wisdom, at one temple, and a Moon god named Khonsu at another. This shows us that they believed in multiple different gods and goddesses, which by definition is polytheism (hart 24). 
Art The art of egypt was music I know this because the text says “They had great public festivals at which thousands of people were entertained with singers and music frome flutes, harps, and castanets and much wine was drink” (Hart 50)
Architecture Architecture such as I know this because the text says “ The first pyramid was built as a burial place of King Djoser in c. 2650 BCE by his gifted architect imhotep”. “In the text it said Doors of granite and false passages were pursuit of the rich offerings buried with the kings. “
(hart 20) 
writing The writing system in Mesopotamia can be described as a system of pictographs that advanced and became more symbolic as time passed. I know because the text says "Scribes had to be experts in writing hieroglyphics, an elaborate form of picture-writing with about 700 different signs." This shows us that it was a very complicated system, as remembering over 700 signs is immensely difficult. Also, the text states "Hieroglyphics were used on state monuments, temples, tombs, and religious papyri." This shows that it was used all throughout Egypt to describe things using pictures. (Hart 34)

Writing: we cant figure out what the words mean on the writing they use. The text says " Over 400 symbols have been uncovered from different locations." This evidence proves that we can not figure out what the symbols 
mean with so many.
Architecture/Technology: people in the indus valley were very advanced for there time on the page it said "The advanced architecture and construction techniques of the Indus cities is also shown with impressive dockyards, granaries, warehouses, brick platforms, and protective." this proves that the Indus Valley was very advanced for its time.
