Egypt and Sumer were considered civilizations because they developed complex societies characterized by urbanization, social stratification, and centralized governance. Both regions had advanced agricultural practices that supported large populations, alongside innovations such as writing systems (hieroglyphics in Egypt and cuneiform in Sumer) that facilitated record-keeping and communication.
