Classical Indian civilization began in the Indus River Valley and spread throughout the subcontinent, aided by geographic barriers that protected it from invasion. Indo-European Aryans migrated in around 1500 BCE, bringing Vedic religion and establishing the caste system, which divided society into distinct social classes. Hinduism eventually emerged as the dominant religion, incorporating beliefs in dharma, karma, samsara, and moksha. The caste system and Hindu beliefs strongly influenced all aspects of Indian culture and society for centuries.Greece and Rome

- The Indus Valley civilization emerged in the river valleys of the Indus River around 1500 BC and included major cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro with populations of 35,000-40,000 people.
- Around 1500 BC, nomadic Aryan groups migrated into northern India and conquered the Indus Valley civilization, establishing new social divisions and institutions. They developed a caste system that stratified Hindu society into priests, warriors, commoners, peasants, and untouchables.
- Hinduism and Buddhism both originated in ancient India, with Hinduism believing in dharma, karma, samsara, and deities like Brahma and Shiva, while Buddhism rejected the Hindu caste systemPersian Empire Presentation

The Assyrian Empire originated in northern Mesopotamia and by 900 BCE had established a vast empire across the ancient Near East through effective military force. The Assyrians were the first major military power, inventing many weapons and strategies still used today. Military service was mandatory in their society. Assyrian kings derived divine power from gods and built grand palaces decorated with reliefs depicting ceremonies, conquests, and royal lion hunts to demonstrate their strength and rule. The last great Near Eastern kingdom before interaction with Greece and Rome was the Persian Empire founded by Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BCE.Assyrian Civilization

Thousands of years ago, people settled in the Indus Valley region of South Asia, establishing cities like Mohenjo-Daro that showed signs of urban planning. Over time, invaders like the Aryans influenced the culture and religions of the region, helping form Hinduism. Buddhism also originated in India under leaders like Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC, who helped spread it. European traders became interested in South Asia for its spices and pearls in the 1600s, with the British East India Company establishing coastal trading posts. India gained independence in 1947 after nonviolent protests led by Gandhi, though Pakistan and Bangladesh were formed to separate Muslim and Hindu populations.Mesopotamia power point

Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern Iraq, was the site of some of the earliest human civilizations. People first settled there due to natural levees along the rivers that protected against floods while enabling irrigation. Several successive civilizations arose in Mesopotamia over 3000 years, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. These civilizations developed systems of writing like cuneiform, advanced mathematics, the wheel, and organized religion centered around temples. Though Mesopotamia faced environmental challenges like flooding and lack of resources, its civilizations left lasting legacies as the cradle of modern civilization.

Ancient India consisted of Northern India located in the Himalayas and Northwest India located in the Hindu Kush mountains. The geography shaped how people lived - those near oceans and rivers relied on seafood while those in mountains developed textiles and water management techniques like walls and pipes. Ancient India experienced a Golden Age from 320-550 CE under the Gupta Empire, when the military provided security and people had access to healthcare, arts, and education. However, the Gupta Empire declined in the 6th century as governors grew powerful and new invaders like the Huns attacked. Ancient Indians made significant contributions to science, math, and medicine, including surgery, algebra, and trigonometry.Sunlight Presentation

Ancient India experienced significant developments between 3000 BCE and 500 CE. Major civilizations arose along the Indus River Valley, most notably Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, which had advanced sewage systems and city planning. Around 1500 BCE, Aryan invaders established themselves across northern India and introduced Sanskrit. Their social hierarchy later developed into the caste system. Buddhism emerged in the 6th century BCE founded by Siddhartha Gautama and emphasized enlightenment through non-attachment. Powerful empires like the Mauryans and Guptas unified parts of India at different times and Indian culture flourished with developments in architecture, literature, mathematics and science.Ancient India

Ancient India had three main geographic regions: the northern plain, Deccan plateau, and coastal plains. Seasonal monsoons brought rain but could cause floods or drought. Early civilizations like the Indus Valley cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro had organized urban planning. Around 1500 BC, Aryan invaders conquered the region and Hinduism developed by blending Aryan and Indian beliefs. Hinduism's caste system rigidly determined one's occupation based on birth. The Mauryan Empire established a strong centralized government under Asoka, who spread Buddhism. The Gupta Empire later ruled as India's golden age of prosperity and trade.Religions of Ancient India

The sun's core generates its enormous energy output through nuclear fusion. The solar wind consists of high-energy particles escaping the sun's gravity. The sun emits across the electromagnetic spectrum, including x-rays studied by orbital telescopes. The sun's total luminosity is calculated based on the energy received by a detector at Earth's distance. Sunspots occur in pairs of opposite magnetic fields and vary in a roughly 11-year solar cycle.Sun

This document discusses e-waste and its management. It defines e-waste as obsolete electronic equipment like computers, TVs, and cell phones. E-waste is a growing problem due to the toxins it contains and risks of improper disposal. When e-waste is burned or dumped, its components like lead, mercury, and flame retardants can pollute the environment and harm human health. However, e-waste also contains valuable materials that can be recovered through formal recycling. Proper e-waste management and recycling can help address this issue in a more sustainable manner.Daylighting slideshare

Ancient civilizations arose in Asia along major river valleys such as the Indus River Valley in South Asia and the Huang He Valley in East Asia. These river valleys provided rich soil for agriculture and natural protections from invasion. Some of the earliest civilizations included the Indus Valley Civilization with major cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, as well as early Chinese civilizations. In India, Aryan migrations introduced new social hierarchies like the caste system. Major empires later rose like the Mauryan Empire under Asoka, which spread Buddhism throughout Asia. Trade networks also developed linking Asia, like the Silk Road under the Kushan Kingdom.ancient INDIA FINAL.ppt

India is located in South Asia and has a long history and diverse geography. The Indus Valley Civilization developed around 2500 BCE along the Indus River in modern-day Pakistan. It had large cities with advanced architecture and infrastructure. Around 1500 BCE, nomadic Indo-European peoples called the Aryans migrated into India and their culture eventually mixed with and influenced the native Indus Valley peoples. Hinduism emerged as the dominant religion, incorporating beliefs from both groups. The Aryans also introduced the caste system, which stratified Indian society into distinct social classes. Over time, several large empires rose and fell in India, contributing to its cultural and scientific achievements.AP_World-Ancient_India.ppt
