Q1) Compare the rise of civilizations in the Aegean Sea area with the rise of earlier world civilizations.
Answer: Earlier civilizations emerged in fertile river valleys and in relative isolation from outside influence. They flourished because of agricultural surpluses, which sustained a class of non-food producers. Political, economic, and legal systems sprouted in new urban areas, along with monument building, recordkeeping, and advances in the arts and sciences. The Aegean civilizations, first on Crete and later on the Greek mainland, were the results of the fertilizing influence of previously established civilizations. Because the Aegean civilizations had few natural resources and a precarious agricultural base, they required significant food imports. Rather than being based in fertile river valleys, those civilizations were centered on fortified hilltop complexes. They developed unique institutions and cultures by using seaborne trade and commerce and thus creating commercial and political relations with other peoples in the region.
