The civilizations of the Huang River valley and the Nile River valley shared several similarities, and among the options provided, the statement "Both were ruled by dynasties" is accurate.
1. **Both began around 4000 BCE:** While both civilizations developed around similar time periods (the Huang River valley around 2000-1500 BCE and the Nile around 3100 BCE), the exact starting dates are not the same.
2. **Both arose in desert regions:** This is not accurate. The Nile River valley is indeed associated with desert regions, but the Huang River valley is not classified in the same way, as it is more characterized by agricultural plains.
3. **Both failed to develop a writing system:** This is incorrect as both civilizations developed their own writing systems. The Egyptians used hieroglyphs, while the Shang Dynasty of the Huang River valley developed a form of writing as well.
4. **Both were ruled by dynasties:** This is a true statement. Both the ancient Egyptian civilization along the Nile and the early Chinese civilization along the Huang River were ruled by dynasties.
Thus, the most accurate similarity from the list provided is that both civilizations were ruled by dynasties.
