Question

Explain the Food and Storage of the Early Cities and its importance?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Written techniques for food preservation can be found at least as early as 2000 years ago in Chinese tombs. These texts describe processes for drying and salting various types of foods. Both methods essentially aim to remove moisture from food and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria that speeds up decomposition and makes food unfit for consumption. While the Chinese were among the first to preserve food in this way, the technique spread rapidly to the rest of the world; salting and drying food as a storage technique occurred later in nearly every ancient civilization.

As with many early technical achievements, the ancients may have been imitating natural processes. People probably noticed that naturally arid or salty conditions desiccated objects. Organic material in these conditions would have lasted much longer and astute early observers must have made note of this. It isn't much of a leap to imagine ancient people imitating many different natural storage processes.

$\huge\bf\underline\pink{Answer}$

Early cities arose in a number of regions, and are thought to have developed for reasons of agricultural productivity and economic scale.

Early cities developed in a number of regions, from Mesopotamia to Asia to the Americas. The very first cities were founded in Mesopotamia after the Neolithic Revolution, around 7500 BCE. Mesopotamian cities included Eridu, Uruk, and Ur. Early cities also arose in the Indus Valley and ancient China. Among the early Old World cities, one of the largest was Mohenjo-daro, located in the Indus Valley (present-day Pakistan); it existed from about 2600 BCE, and had a population of 50,000 or more. In the ancient Americas, the earliest cities were built in the Andes and Mesoamerica, and flourished between the 30th century BCE and the 18th century BCE.

Ancient cities were notable for their geographical diversity, as well as their diversity in form and function. Theories that attempt to explain ancient urbanism by a single factor, such as economic benefit, fail to capture the range of variation documented by archaeologists. Excavations at early urban sites show that some cities were sparsely populated political capitals, others were trade centers, and still other cities had a primarily religious focus. Some cities had large dense populations, whereas others carried out urban activities in the realms of politics or religion without having large associated populations. Some ancient cities grew to be powerful capital cities and centers of commerce and industry, situated at the centers of growing ancient empires. Examples include Alexandria and Antioch of the Hellenistic civilization, Carthage, and ancient Rome and its eastern successor, Constantinople (later Istanbul).
