Whether it is Mesopotamia, China, Egypt, or the Indus Valley, civilization seems to be encouraged by the existence of large rivers. Now here is the question, what rivers could have spawned civilizations like independent Egypt?
Preferably we are talking about Pre-500 B.C.E. a good location is all that needs to be answered but a plausible mode for civilization to begin to grow (such as a specific powerful tribe/kingdom, etc) would be nice.
The first thing that jumps to mind as I think about this question is the Volga River, but I am looking forward to hearing what other people think.
