Western Civ 1-2

By Braden Grebner
  • 3200 BCE

    Cuneiform

    Cuneiform
    It was one of the earliest form of writing and this made it able for them to record the history. I think it fits the timeline because it defitenly was the start of more languages and writing.
  • 3200 BCE

    First Written language

    First Written language
    I think this was important because it gave us a written way to communicate and track the history of our worlds for future generations.
  • 3100 BCE

    Irrigation

    Irrigation
    This lead to way more productive farms and way more crops to be produced for the Empires.
  • 3000 BCE

    More advanced Agriculture

    More advanced Agriculture
    It would be more of small things but this lead to farming for bigger things once Irrigation was founded.
  • 3000 BCE

    Trade

    Trade
    This fits the timeline because it was very important to the economy and it was very important for getting good otherwise inaccessible.
  • 3000 BCE

    Bronze being created

    Bronze being created
    I find this to be very important because if you think if we never realized how to make bronze we never would've progressed into making other metals in my opinion.
  • 3000 BCE

    Reed boats

    Reed boats
    I was looking up what major things were being made in 300 BCE because of my curiosity. I stumbled upon reed boats I thought about it and I think these are actually very important because they not only opened up some trade from water sources but made travel almost all over the world possible as I'm sure the boats got better and better over time.
  • 2700 BCE

    Large-scale warfare

    Large-scale warfare
    Upon research, it says the first war took place in 2700 BCE. True or not I strongly believe this was actually a huge part of the building blocks of our nations today. Being able to protect our homeland has clearly been important throughout history and still stands to this day.
  • 1000 BCE

    Astronomy

    Astronomy
    Without astronomy, it would've been extremely hard for them to determine the crop rotations. This was an important event because it lead to empires to grow. Said it was recorded in cuneiform at least 1000 BCE
  • 500 BCE

    Iron being created

    Iron being created
    Just like the bronze, I think without the finding of bronze and iron ower tools, weaponry and even buildings would not be close to the same at all.
