Question

Write an AEC paragraph - make sure to include 2 examples with explanation:
Explain how does raw material in nature facilitated technology development of Mesopotamia and Egypt. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

It can be asserted that the raw materials in nature have facilitated the development of technology in Egypt as well as in Mesopotamia. The ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian technologies demonstrate the contribution of raw materials from the nature. 

For instance, it can be found that the invention of the simple machines that include lever and ramp, by the Egyptians were carried out with the help of ropes that were obtained from the leaves of coconut trees. Moreover, paper was also manufactured from papyrus, which was obtained from the pith of a plant called Papyrus. Another example of the development of technology in Egypt is the use of wheel which was made from wood obtained from trees. An example of Mesopotamian technology development with the help of natural raw materials is the invention of wheels for pottery, which were made from the wood procured from trees. Another example can be the use of bronze metal obtained from natural mineral deposits, by the Mesopotamians for making stronger weapons and tools.
