Den tidlige civilisation, der opstod i den sydlige del af mesopotamien, er?
Sumer
Andean civilizations
Norte Chico civilisationen (også kaldet Caral) var et komplekst præcolumbiansk samfund, der omfattede op til 30 større befolkningscentre i det, der nu er Norte Chico regionen i det nord-centrale Peru. Det er den ældste kendte civilisation i Amerika og en af civilisationens vugger, hvor civilisationen separat opstod i den gamle verden. Den blomstrede mellem det 30. århundrede f.Kr. og det 18. århundrede f.Kr. Det alternative navn, Caral-Supe, stammer fra den hellige by Caral i Supe-dalen, et stort og velundersøgt Norte Chico-sted. Det komplekse samfund i Norte Chico opstod et årtusinde efter Sumer i Mesopotamien, var samtidig med de egyptiske pyramider og var næsten to årtusinder ældre end de mesoamerikanske Olmec-samfund.
Sumer
Andean civilizations
The Norte Chico civilization (also called Caral) was a complex pre-Columbian society that included as many as 30 major population centers in what is now the Norte Chico region of north-central coastal Peru. It is the oldest known civilization in the Americas and one of the Cradles of civilization where civilization separately originated in the ancient world. It flourished between the 30th century BC and the 18th century BC. The alternative name, Caral-Supe, is derived from the Sacred City of Caral in the Supe Valley, a large and well-studied Norte Chico site. Complex society in Norte Chico arose a millennium after Sumer in Mesopotamia, was contemporaneous with the Egyptian pyramids, and predated the Mesoamerican Olmec by nearly two millennia.
