Similarities Between Egypt And Mesopotamians

Technological developments demonstrate what each society viewed as important, which confirms minimal similarities between Egypt and Mesopotamian regarding math and agriculture, but most of the evidence illustrations that the Egyptians made medical advances, the Mesopotamians sought to increase their effectiveness of agricultural, and the Hittites sought to dominated warfare. Both the Egyptians and the Mesopotamians produced twice as much wheat as other societies because of their irrigated fields, so they were not consumed with the need to worry about food and could focus on other topics. One of which was math. The Egyptians called a book of their early math Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Patterns, 62). The Mesopotamians had similar basic math, but the way in which they used it varied greatly from the Egyptians.
The Mesopotamians used their math skills to create objects that would enable them to better track their inventory as well as create more efficient and effective ways to transport their belongings. One of the things they invented was the first plow

They created chariots that held two to three warriors. These chariots were also mounted with a bow that was made by combining grooved wood and horn glued together. This bow could shot an arrow 4 feet in length and had a range of 150 yards. The Hittites also domesticated the horse, which they used to pull their chariots into battle. This gave them a very powerful edge over their opponents. The Mesopotamians were similar to the Hittites in the regard of making improved weapons. The Mesopotamians created an alloy called bronze which is made by combining copper and tin together (Patterns, 40). By doing this the metal became much harder which was ideal for weaponry. Even though all societies made technological advances, they each became more knowledgeable in specific areas, which would enhance their trading abilities
