The
River Civilizations were the first in the world (which is recorded by
their remains and their records) they formed cities precursory to modern
ones; was
where humanity, nourished with abundant water and sustainable crops,
left the nomadic life, settled in hamlets that later became walled
cities. These
cities, on the banks of the rivers: Nile, Ganges, Tigris and Euphrates,
and Yellow river, Yang tse kiang (blue river) and Wei, were
the basis of all current civilization; there
the societies were hierarchized, the monarchies were created and the
first laws were established (code of Hammurabi in Babylon). In
addition, language and arts flourished in those early cities, which
later became State Cities, and expanded their influence, in the
beginning of the world's first empires. The
present civilization is founded directly on the influence and legacy of
these early civilizations that traced modern society thousands of years
ago.
