There are many ancient civilizations I chose these

Mesopotamia, a Greek word meaning "between the rivers" was a civilization that flourished between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern-day Iraq more than 6,000 years ago, according to The British Museum. Ancient Mesopotamia had organized religions and writing systems, and large temples that formed the center of cities. Its people lived largely in houses built of mud bricks.

About the picture of the Meso House

The Egyptians lived in houses made of bricks. The bricks were made of mud and chopped straw. They mixed the mud and straw and then poured the mixture into molds. The molds were placed in the sun to bake into hard bricks. When the bricks are hard they put them together and use some new and wet mud to stick them on, when the new mud was dry and hard too, they will stick together. So an Egypt house was made.

Most homes in ancient Greece had a courtyard, which was the center of activity. Children could safely play outside in the warm climate. Homes were divided into areas for the men and areas for the women. The Andron was a room reserved for males to entertain male guests. The room had a separate entrance to the street so male guests did not have to cross paths with any of the ladies of the house.

Modern Canada's houses have hidden doors and very neat paths. In the front yard, there will mostly be some grass field and some flower, than is the house, then for the house, it will not be too big, and it will look like a cube. It is mostly made by woods.

There were really two kinds of houses in ancient China - poor people's houses (which is most of them) and rich people's houses (not very many).Poor people's houses were generally just one room, made of rammed earth (like mudbrick). The roof was usually made of thatch. These houses were a lot like poor people's houses in West Asia or Egypt or Greece or Africa.Rich people's houses were much bigger. They had a high wall made of rammed earth all the way around them, with no windows and just one door, to keep the family safe. As soon as you went through this door, you would see another short wall in front of you. This was the screen wall, which kept people from seeing into your courtyard as they walked by, for privacy. All around the courtyard there were rooms. In a very fancy house there were two storeys, and a balcony on the inside of the upper storey overlooking the courtyard.
