Abstract: Abstract Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the technological advancements in ancient civilizations: a comparative study. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Technological advancements in ancient civilizations reveal significant achievements across diverse cultures. For instance, in Mesopotamia, the invention of writing (cuneiform) around 3200 BCE revolutionized communication and record-keeping, facilitating complex governance and trade systems (Postgate, 2020). Meanwhile, ancient Egypt's mastery of irrigation and construction techniques, evident in structures like the pyramids, exemplified their engineering prowess and agricultural innovation Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Diffusionism theory, social constructivism & environmental determinism may be used to anchor future studies on technological advancements in ancient civilizations: a comparative study. Emphasize the importance of understanding diverse religious traditions and fostering mutual respect and tolerance among different religious communities. Incorporate the study of religion into school curricula at all levels to promote religious literacy, critical thinking, and understanding of diverse cultural perspectives.
