Trace the development of Mesopotamian civilizations from the first Sumerian city-states through the Persian Empire. Which societies in Mesopotamia were the most successful? Which were the least? Why?

Trace the development of Hebrew civilization through interactions with those powerful, polytheistic cultures up through the Diaspora, and explain the differences and similarities in the ways Ancient Hebrews interacted with each surrounding culture. Be sure to include important events, persons, and places in your answer. Unlike its Mesopotamian neighbors to the east, ancient Egyptian civilization was known for its remarkable stability.

Why did rituals like pyramid building and mummification have such prominent roles in Egyptian theology?
