In conclusion, here is what an entire thesis statement on this topic might look like:

• “Two ancient civilizations, Mesopotamia and Egypt, created complex

societies with distinct social, political, and economic characteristics. One

similarity is that both civilizations developed strong economies based on

trade with other cultures. One difference is that the Mesopotamians

traded with people across the Indian Ocean in South Asia, while the

Egyptians traded with their neighbors to the south in Nubia. The historical

evidence would indicate that the two civilizations of Mesopotamia and

Egypt had some subtle differences, but were, for the most part, nearly

identical.”
