Why?What features do you see that would make trade, migration, and invasion possible (even easy) for any of these civilizations?Create a timeline on the back of your map showing the dates of the beginning and end of each civilization. Use the same colors used on the map to draw lines and label the civilization on the line drawn. Neatness counts so use a straight edge!Looking at the timeline and longevity of the civilizations, describe the relationship between geography and the ability of a civilization to last. Besides geography, what other factors might cause a civilization to be more or less successful overtime?How would you explain these civilizations developing at approximately the same time in different parts of the world without ever meeting each other? ................
