What makes a Ancient Civilization - Jose

A civilization is a complex society or a city. Sumer was one of the first civilizations or cities ever built. The question that has been asked is: what makes an ancient civilization? The characteristics of a civilization are: stable food supply, social structure, government, religion, arts, technology, and writing. If you compare our civilization with the Sumer civilization, they have the same characteristics. But, we do have characteristics that we do differently. In our government we don’t have kings or queens that would be in charge. Our arts have more technology such as computers. Our technology is more advanced than the Sumer’s technology. And, in most of our religions, we don’t believe in gods. So as you can see the Sumer’s civilization is different than our civilization, but we do have some characteristics that are the same, such as a stable food supply and writing. Without these civilizations, our civilization would be much different.
