Compare and contrast the Song & Tang dynasties with the Byzantine Empire.

Use the below thesis to write an 8-10 page research paper on the below topic. See the attached final rubric. Final paper is due in 10 days, rough draft (including sources) is due in 3 days.

From 618 to 907 the Tang and Song dynasties ruled China as did the Byzantine Empire ruled Eastern Rome. Although the same time period, the two empires were seemingly worlds away and with the use of historical lenses the differences in technology, art, culture, religion, military and economy come to light. My final project will use the historical lenses (technology, science, art, culture, religion, military and economy) to compare and contrast the Song & Tang dynasties with the Byzantine Empire. These two dynasties are geographically and culturally diverse.
