Using your background knowledge of indian geographic features and environmental challenges, would you rather start a civilization in the indian subcontinent or near the nile river valley, and why,

Civilizations are best when set up near bodies of water due to it's accessibility for fishing, irrigation, rich soil for farming and planting, traveling, exporting and importing goods (trading ports) and providing a main source of water for citizens. Both areas had that yet the Nile River Valley was known for over flooding and being primarily dry other than the floods while life near the Indus River did not normally flood and had advanced technology for it's time period. You could probably debate either but I would say the Indian subcontinent since it has proved to be easy to develop and had many desirable traits to the British during the imperialism time period.

Who what do u think?
