Their burial customs, pottery styles, and flint tools reveal a civilization that evolved from Neolithic hunters to the architects of monumental pyramids. Meanwhile, across the desert, Mesopotamian cultures developed along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, creating the earliest known cities and writing systems.
