WEEK2
So today we discussed about the term called “Fertile Crescent”. Fertile crescent refers to a semi-circular area of the eastern-Mediterranean region including Nile, Tigris and Euphrates river. It was the place where the first civilization took place.
Then we looked at what all consists in a civilization:
- A planned settlement
- Language
- Water
- Sophistication
- Leadership
- Domestication of animals
- Division of labour
- Hierarchy
- Religion
- Rituals
- Higher power
- Administration
- Community identity
- Social practices
- Handicraft
- Beliefs
- Architecture
- Material culture
- Food practices
- Trade
- Art/culture
