Civilization was scattered in six major locations over the world during the several millennia after 3500 B.C.E. Eventually civilizations gradually absorbed, overran, or displaced people practicing other ways of living. Like in every nation there were hierarchy classes. Organized around particular cities or larger territories, early states were almost all ruled by kings, who had a variety of ranked officials, had a measure of control over the society, and defended it against any enemies. The first civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt, all had the common features of agriculture technology, city living, immense class inequalities, patriarchy and the emerging power of states. But these civilizations werent all the same, they had differences in political organization, religious beliefs, the role of women, and more gave the difference in traditions. Like all human communites, they changed over the centuries.
