Irrigational Farming
The River was a key to the Mesopotamian
irrigation in farming. The crops received annual
flooding that left behind silt that allowed the
plants to thrive. To drag the irrigation out
farther from the Nile they dug out trenches and
pipes to spread the water to the farther crops.
This was their way of farming that constantly
watered their crops.

Greece Cities
Greece's mountainous terrain led to the
development of the polis (city-state), beginning
about 750 B.C.E. The high mountains made it
very difficult for people to travel or
communicate. Athens and Sparta are two good
examples of city-states that contrasted greatly
with each other. The city-state of Athens was
the birthplace of many significant ideas.
Ancient Athenians were a thoughtful people
who enjoyed the systematic study of subjects
such as science, philosophy, and history, to
name a few. Life in Sparta was vastly different
from life in Athens. Located in the southern part
of Greece on the Peloponnisos peninsula, the
city-state of Sparta developed a militaristic
society ruled by two kings and an oligarchy, or
small group that exercised political control.

Pompeii was a city of 20,000 residents. In
many ways it was very progressive:
Pompeii had indoor running water, a
thriving marketplace, an ampitheater for
entertainment and a structured
government. The homes of the wealthiest
citizens reveal beautiful works of art,
particularly frescoes and a reverence for
the local gods and goddesses. The people
themselves were typical of the Roman
empire at that time. There were several
classes in Roman society, starting with the
very wealthy and ending with slaves
