Again like I said in my last post it is crazy how much the early people advanced. They went from being gatherers and hunters and not having any food stability to growing their own food and domesticating animals to have a more stable food source. They also went from being nomadic to staying in a single place. The more time they stayed in a single place the better technologies they developed. With civilizations we see a rise in democracies in some of the first 7. They were getting so big they had to rely on someone to lead them and govern them. Not only that but also to think of ideas for them especially for stuff like irrigation. One of the most important things though is the development of written language. With this they could advance their ideas even further and advance their technologies.
The beginning of this chapter was really interesting because learning about Hassan and how he was Christian and Muslim that was very interesting to me, I had no idea you could do that. One of the most interesting things about his chapter was how the religion was started. It not only was the religion it was an empire at the same time. Unlike other religions they had the man power to go to war with other regions. They grew simultaneously as a religion and as an empire. It was the largest and most influential third wave civilization. Islamic civilization challenged and provoked Christendom, transformed by African cultures, and took root in India, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. The spread continued to the modern era by 2013 1.6 billion people followed it which was 23% of the population. Now if that doesn't tell you something I do not know what will.. Another thing that was intriguing was how it changed how the people lived. they went rom being nomadic Arabs (Bedouins) to a settle
