    well, religion was different...

    i know that Mesopotamia had irrigated canals, Egypt too, not sure about China or India.

    landscape always makes a difference... Egypt and southern Mesopotamia are of course dry while the other 2 are wet and fertile. Northern Mesopotamia (the fertile crescent) was wet at a time according to the Bible if that was the location of Eden. Emphasis on the word 'If''.
