SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -5000 years ago the first civilizations appeared along the banks of large rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq); the River Nile in Egypt; the Indus River in India; and the Yellow and Blue rivers in China. That is why they are called river civilizations.

Detailed explanation-2: -We’ve also noticed that most of these first civilizations tend to have one thing in common: access to fresh water and fertile soil. It makes sense: you need water and food to build a large, non-mobile society, and so we call these the Early River Valley Civilizations.

Detailed explanation-3: -The River Valley civilizations that emerged on the Yellow River ( China ), the Indus River ( India ), the Nile River ( Egypt ), and between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers ( Mesopotamia ) made lasting contributions to civilizations.
