The city of Washington Dc is relatively new,,,,,,,,,,from the Americans........but it is where several Indian cities were..................it is important to remember commerce.........rivers..........for boats, etc...........esp where two rivers meet.............as here in DC...............so for ancient cities........city states...........like Athens, Rome, etc.................and civilizations........anything near water.........esp warm water.......like the Med sea.............is key to the development of cities...........Mexico City has some big lakes.........which is why i am sure the Mexica picked it..............






Also, while the Nile is the most famous of the rivers in Africa, it is not the only one...............neither is the Congo..............the Niger river in the North West is very important............and where the countries of Niger and Nigeria get their names i bet.................and there is the Zambezi in the South..................


Also, Central Africa..............the Congo river basin.........and the lake region..........Lake Victoria......the source of one of the two Nile rivers...........the other is in Ethiopia........Lake Victoria is by far the most famous............as Mt. Kilimanjaro the most famous mountain........b/c many people think that the only place in Africa with snow on it is on the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro.........there are other big lakes in Africa........other than Lake Victoria and other mountains with snow other then Kilimanjaro...........



Africa's center...............esp the Congo river basin and the great lake region, would be a prime area to look into as far as ancient learning and civilizations...........
