Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Summary
Africa, Specifically Meroe gained resources from trading. Different groups were common in Africa, a reason for this is because of the climate differences throughout the continent. Meroe had a lot of women as queens with higher power. The Niger River had many cities surrounding it however there was a large drought in the Sahara, which caused people to leave the area. The cities around the Niger River never really developed, and they had social inequalities and specializations. What gained them power was their metal working skills.
Mesoamerca included the Myans. The Myan's culture was known for its architectural achievements. Many cities had their own government officials yet none had any central authority. Myans eventually fell, and there was really no certain reason. But it was said that it may be due to the lack of resources and the towns being overpopulated.
Teotihuacan was considered as The Americas "Greatest City" - This is because this city had large amounts of specialization and great architecture. Moch was a civilization. When the pan-andes cult faded many civilizations flourished. The Moche civilization was located on the coast. Priest rulers ruled the civilizations and human sacrifices with war victims were often performed.
Bantu People The most important encounter was between the agricultural Bantu and the early hunter gatherer peoples of the planes of Africa. North America contained 3 main groups of people: Mesoamerican, Andean region, and the gathering/hunting people.
Large capitals were in the Andes. A lot of trade was done between them.
