What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but correct responses should include: This was such a critical period of change because such large civilizations grew and developed and then disappeared. There was incredible population growth and intensified methods of production. There was increased concentrated large populations and growth of cities and monumental building projects to store foods and modify the environment to sustain growth. Art, metal works and architecture developed. The inability to maintain this growth or sustain the populations, whether due to ecological disruptions, invaders, decline in food production or inability for rulers to maintain power led to the downfall of these civilizations.
