Week #2- Daily #4- Describe the importance of water in the ancient world.

Water was most likely very important in the ancient world. After all, it is a main priority in today’s world. People in the ancient world would have used water and food to stay alive, and they used their children to keep their family and bloodlines alive. Water is 70% of the human brain and makes up 60% of a human being’s body weight. We use water for almost everything. In the ancient world, they probably used water to cook, drink, bathe, wash clothes, and travel with boats. They could have also used it to swim. When there was a little amount of rainfall, they used an artificial system to bring water to plants in the soil called an irrigation system. They needed water for the growth of their crops, so they could trade with other people. When they traded with other people, they created allies. The allies could help defend them and keep their culture alive from their enemies. That is how this whole world has come into place. We are from many different cultures of people. Water is also fresh and pure, and the ancient people have realized that. They realized that it was essential for living. It is not just important for human life, but also for the plants and animals’ lives. When someone had gotten hurt in the ancient world, they probably healed and cleaned the cut with water. I cannot imagine the world without water. Can you? It is unbelievable to think that someone could survive without water. Water has been important since the Old World.
