What are some of the cultures through out history known for?

Question

Anything From b.c. times to modern day?

Answer 1

Though a very broad & general question, I would say that the center of cultural development began in the 3 literate river valleys...The Indus, The Nile & Mesopotamia!

This is where farming was first established, and major cities were built, from about 4500 BCE until about 1000 BCE!

Farming led to massive engineering projects involving field irrigation, which led to architecture for grain storage, and finally sanitation to keep its city's residents healthy!

I don't include China in this, because that region remained relatively de-centralized until much later, because it was moreso after BCE, when they really began to thrive!
