To determine which pair of ancient civilizations were ruled by dynasties, let's break down each option:
a. China and Egypt: Both China and Egypt had ruling dynasties. The Chinese civilization was ruled by several dynasties, including the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, and many more. Similarly, ancient Egypt was governed by a series of ruling families known as dynasties, such as the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom dynasties.
b. China and the Indus Valley: While China did have ruling dynasties as mentioned before, the Indus Valley civilization, also known as the Harappan civilization, did not have a clear ruling dynasty system. The political structure of the Indus Valley civilization remains somewhat mysterious due to limited available evidence.
c. the Indus River Valley and Mesopotamia: As mentioned earlier, the Indus Valley civilization lacked a documented ruling dynasty system. Mesopotamia, on the other hand, was a region consisting of various city-states like Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria, which were ruled by different kings and dynasties throughout history.
d. Egypt and Mesopotamia: This option is correct. Both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia had ruling dynasties. Egypt had Pharaonic dynasties, such as the aforementioned Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom dynasties. Mesopotamia, as mentioned earlier, consisted of different city-states, each ruled by their own kings and dynasties.
So, the correct answer to your question is option d. Egypt and Mesopotamia were the pair of ancient civilizations ruled by dynasties.
I'd say a and c.
