The Classical Era

Once the first civilizations started emerging we can see that most of them were very similar to one another. These civilizations had their differences too such as the values they believed in, how their economy was based on, their resources, how men and women were treated, as well as their writing and lifestyle. Every one of these civilizations were in the need of agriculture especially for irrigation, in order to grow crops and for their own land. As time went by, civilizations started changing because agriculture improved as well as technology which was a huge impact when it started.

Agriculture no only changed during the time but every civilization had its growth in population which meant that more resources needed to given to them. In some civilizations population was a problem because it not only increased but also decreased like it did in the Mayan civilization by eighty five percent in less than a century. Lastly, in the previous chapters we are able to see how each civilization developed as time went by, some improved and some had their difficulties. The growth of population changed the way each civilization had to expand because if the population increased they were in need of more resources and economy to support the larger numbers.
