CHAPTER SUMMARY: Civilizations spread throughout the Mediterranean world, Asia, and the Americas. Egypt Emerged along the Nile River, developing into a huge empire that had a largely stable monarchy, religion, languages, writing systems, and artistic tradition. The Hittites, Phoenicians, and Israelites developed languages and successful trade networks in the Mediterranean. Egypt's history first begins around 3100 B.C., when King Menes united Upper and Lower Egypt into a single kingdom and created the first loyal dynasty. A group of important people in this chapter were the pastoral nomads who domesticated animals for food and clothing. In this chapter we learn about the two sections of religion Monotheism and Polytheism. the difference between the two is that Mono theism is believing in one God, while polytheism is believing in multiple gods. One important weather term from this chapter is monsoons these were seasonal wind patterns in southern Asia that blows warm moist air from the southwest during the summer, and cold dry air during the winter. The inhabitants of early South America first emerged in the coastal regions of modern day Peru and Ecuador.
