CULTURAL DIFFUSION • Sharing of ideas & tech., results from war, travel, trade
RIVER VALLEYS • Birth of civilization • 1st cities and civs. found in r.valleys in Middle East, Africa, Asia
FIRST CIVILIZATIONS Middle East Egypt – Nile R. flooded providing rich soil, ruled by pharoahs, built pyramids, hieroglyphics • Fertile Crescent – Mesopotamia, Tigris & Euphrates R. Sumerians 1st to write with cuneiform, 1st wheeled vehicles, Babylonians (Hammurabi’s Code) Hebrews (monotheism)
The Egyptians used hieroglyphics in the same way as the Sumerians used (1) ideographs (3) cuneiform (2) calligraphy (4) letters
ASIA • India – monsoons and r. valleys (Indus & Ganges) watered crops, Mohenjo-Daro &Harappa urban planning, Aryan invasion, caste system, rigid class system ltd. social mobility reincarnation, Hinduism, Gupta Golden Age (advancements in math, medicine, art) • China – r. valley (Huang He) isolated by Himalayas, Gobi desert, dynastic cycle, Mandate of Heaven, Silk Road

Discovery of streets arranged in a grid-like pattern and a system of pipes for moving water in Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro suggest that these ancient river valley cities in South Asia had • (1) organized governments • (2) subsistence-based economies • (3) polytheistic beliefs • (4) rigid social classes
Which major geographic feature has hindered cultural diffusion between India and China? (1) Himalaya Mountains (3) Gobi Desert (2) Deccan Plateau (4) Great Rift Valley
… Monsoons are relied upon throughout the country to provide water for growing crops. Heavy monsoons, however, can bring floods that often have a high death toll. These floods have been exacerbated [made worse] by deforestation of the hills for industrial and agricultural purposes. It is a fine balance between having plenty of water to flood the rice fields and having too much so that crops, homes, and even lives are lost. The alternative to the floods may be famines. However, India’s infrastructure can now deal successfully with these: When the monsoon fails in one area, the army is able to move supplies to the drought-stricken area. As a result of this organization, few lives were lost in the Maharashtra famines of 1965–66 and 1974–75, while more than two million people died in the Bengal famine of 1943. • —Louise Nicholson, National Geographic Traveler: • India, 2007
Based on this passage, how have the negativeeffects of the monsoons been reduced in recentyears? (1) The army is building dams to hold back the floods. (2) Farmers have begun to grow crops that require less water. (3) Home construction in flood areas has been controlled by government regulations. (4) An improved infrastructure makes it possible to bring supplies to areas in need of help.
