How were Indo-European steppe tribes different from Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies before 800 B.C.E.?
Explanation
Answer - C - Indo-European steppe tribes were different from Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies before 800 B.C.E. because Indian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese societies created permanent settlements, with wealth based upon land ownership.
Key Takeaway: The main difference between steppe tribes and other ancient civilization was the patterns of their settlements. Before 800 B.C.E., Middle Eastern, Indian, and Chinese societies developed as sedentary societies. The Indo-European steppe tribes, however, kept up their nomadic traditions far past 800 B.C.E. Nomadic tribes are unlikely to create architectural monuments or create societies where wealth is based upon owning land.
