This is a thesis I wrote for an essay I am doing for comparing Political and Social Structures of Mesopotamia/Egypt and Indus Valley/Vedic Age. Suggestions PLEASE! :confused:

Both Mesopotamia/Egypt and the Indus Valley/Vedic Age had similar political and social structures because they emulated a society that encouraged male authority both in political and social affairs; this is mostly due to the fact that government positions were held mostly by men. However these two societies differed in political and social structures because the caste system was a catalyst for less of an importance on political affairs in the Indus Valley/Vedic Age whereas in Mesopotamia/Egypt the emphasis was more so on Kings and government affairs. The fact that the Aryan migrations brought more of a stress on social hierarchy than government affairs attributed to the lack of political structure.
