At their peak, both Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa had more than 35,000 residents. The cities were designed almost exactly alike. Each city had dozens of streets.

Nubia was located south of Egypt along the Nile River in present-day Sudan.


Cattle herders were the first people to settle in this region, arriving about 2000 b.c. They herded long-horned cattle on the savannas (suh • VA • nuhs), or grassy plains, that stretch across Africa south of the Sahara. Later, people settled in farming villages along the Nile River.


Unlike the Egyptians, the Nubians did not rely on the Nile floods to create fertile soil. Their land had fertile soil and received rainfall all year long. Nubian villagers grew crops such as beans, yams, rice, and grains.

Only a few people—mostly boys from wealthy families— learned how to read and write cuneiform. After years of training, some students became scribes, or official record keepers. Scribes wrote documents that recorded much of the everyday life in Mesopotamia, including court records, marriage contracts, business transactions, and important events. Some scribes were judges and government officials. Sumerians told stories orally for centuries. After developing writing, they were able to record these stories. Their tales praised the gods and warriors for doing great deeds. The world’s oldest known story is from Sumer. Written more than 4,000 years ago and still studied today, this story is called the Epic of Gilgamesh.
