It was amazing to read about what happened after the first civilizations because hundreds of years later much did not change in the civilizations.  Of course the population increased rapidly and Monarchs still continued to rule. Technology was still not invented until a few years after, but with more population civilizations began to expand.  I thought it was interesting to hear that China was one of the primary sources of technological change because they are still very important today.

It was honestly nice to learn about how civilizations came to be and how we evolved.  With years came more roads, bridges, and buildings similar to the ones we see on a daily basis.  Its crazy to think that if we lived thousands of years ago we to could have been apart of the first civilizations.
