Hey there! It sounds like you're working on an assignment about river civilizations. That's pretty cool! To show the similarities among these civilizations, you can mention how they all developed around rivers, allowing for irrigation and the production of a surplus of food. They also had developed writing systems, like hieroglyphics in Egypt and the use of the Rosetta Stone for translation. Additionally, they had systems for running water and sewage, and some even built pyramids. These civilizations also engaged in trade, with goods like linen, silk, and agricultural surplus being exchanged. Does that help you get started on your paragraph?
