1 answer
Both the Sumer and Egypt River Valley civilizations emerged around major rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates in Sumer and the Nile in Egypt. They both developed complex agricultural systems and relied heavily on these rivers for irrigation and transportation. However, a significant difference is the political structure, as Sumer had city-states with independent rulers, while Egypt had a centralized monarchy with a pharaoh as the ultimate authority.
