Look at ancient civilizations

"Located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq, the region known as Mesopotamia, Greek for 'between two rivers,' is often called the 'cradle of civilization.' The region is known for the rise of the first cities, as well as the invention of writing. Readers will discover that the various empires of the region, like Babylon and Sumer, made many important contributions to law, politics, mathematics, and agriculture. Simple text and full-color photographs will engage struggling and reluctant readers alike. Maps and a timeline of key dates provide additional information"--Provided by the publisher.

"China . . . has changed very little over the millennia. Unlike India, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, China's impassable mountains and vast deserts protected China from invasion. Free from foreign interference, China's great dynasties, like the Qin and the Han, flourished. Many of the things we associate with modern China, like the Great Wall, . . . silks, and . . . calligraphy, all date to ancient times"--Amazon.
