Everyone knows that there are four ancient civilizations in this world.
Some of these four ancient civilizations have disappeared into the dust of history for some special reasons, but if we look at it purely from the geographical point of view, India now exists, and Egypt now exists.
Why do the four ancient civilizations recognized from the world still exist, only China, in other words, why did India and Egypt not have cultural inheritance? Why India and Egypt are considered not ancient India, nor ancient Egypt.
If you are interested in this time, this article must be read, it will bring you a lot of unexpected knowledge.
Point 1: Which of the four ancient civilizations are the countries?
We must first know what it is, and the four ancient civilizations are the collective names of the four major civilizations in terms of ancient regions.
Respectively, it refers to the ancient Babylonian civilization, the ancient Indian civilization, the ancient Egyptian civilization and the Chinese civilization, but the Chinese civilization does not have the ancient characters in front of it.
There are a series of deviations in the perception of the four ancient civilizations, including but not limited to western civilizations and Eastern civilizations.
For example, in the history of world civilization, it is said that the ancient Babylonian civilization, the ancient Egyptian civilization, the ancient Indian civilization, the Chinese civilization and the ancient Greek civilization are the birthplaces of the world's five major civilizations.
However, the four ancient civilizations have basically gained international recognition, at least the international side does not have too many doubts about the four ancient civilizations that have been certified.
Point 2, the disappearance of the ancient Babylonian civilization.
More than 5,000 years ago, a very magnificent and magnificent civilization was established, that is, the ancient Babylonian civilization.
Even now we have to admit that the Ancient Nordean civilization was a very good civilization, because there was a very good code in the ancient Babylonian civilization, and this code was the Code of Hammurabi.
The Code is of great reference to the transmission of local and subsequent culturally relevant rules and regulations.
Moreover, the ancient Babylonian civilization, with the efforts of countless ancestors, has unified the entire two rivers valley after the sixth king succeeded to the throne, and is a very famous power in the local area.
The ancient Babylonian civilization invented its own script, had its own economy, had its own trade laws, and had its own rules and regulations.
This part of the rules and regulations can be extended to legal-related industries. Moreover, the ancient Babylonian civilization has many of the world's best, such as the earliest known writing in the world, the earliest known city in the world, and the earliest known civilization in the world.
At the same time, the iron smelting technology of the ancient Babylonian civilization invented bronze smelting technology was almost a must in that era.
Moreover, the ancient Babylonian civilization also had its own system culture, which was the core of this part of the system culture, although it died directly in the later period, but at that time it could be described as brilliant.
But this civilization underwent earth-shaking changes in 539 BC, and the new Babylonian kingdom was directly destroyed by the Persian Empire.
Since then, the ancient Babylonian civilization has completely become history, or there are not too many traces in history, the ancient Babylonian civilization has officially disappeared, and this civilization inheritance has officially disintegrated.
Point 3, Ancient Egyptian Civilization.
Ancient Egyptian civilization also had the same glorious period, such as the current stage of the Egyptian pyramid, of course, this pyramid may be some historians doubts or still in the state of discussion, we will not explain too much.
But if we assume that this ancient Egyptian pyramid was built at that time, then in the state of the time, such a magnificent building was built in a human way, which is enough to see the strength of ancient Egypt.
At the same time, ancient Egypt has its own variety of civilizations and cultures, and this part of the civilization and culture has made ancient Egypt a local strongman.
Egypt has also created a series of histories, such as ancient Egypt is the world's earliest unified dynasty or unified empire.
And the earliest numbers appeared in ancient Egypt, of course, this number is ancient Egyptian mathematics, and this international mathematics was later closely related to Arabic numerals.
In addition, ancient Egypt also has a very rich knowledge of geometry, in other words, ancient Egypt's achievements in mathematics are almost unique.
But unfortunately, such a country also had various problems in the process of ruling class status, such as the formal annexation of the National Security Bureau by the Roman Empire in 30 BC, and the official demise of the ancient Egyptian regime.
Point 4, Ancient Indian Civilization.
As a very important civilization in Southeast Asia and a civilization that cannot be ignored, the ancient Indian civilization has indeed been brilliant, that is, the Peacock Dynasty.
However, we analyze from the macro perspective of history that the ancient Indian civilization can only be regarded as the true unification of the ancient Indian civilization during the reign of the Peacock Dynasty.
In addition, ancient India cannot be said to be a mess, but it is almost the same, because there are too many ethnic groups in the ancient Indian civilization, and there have been various problems between this part of the ethnic groups, and after the fall of the Peacock Dynasty, ancient India has been in a state of division.
Therefore, we may as well take 187 BC as a time node, after the fall of the Peacock Empire, the ancient Indian civilization has been fragmented, and soon after it was officially eliminated.
And the ancient Indian civilization has the world's earliest trigonometric function, you have the earliest heliocentric theory this achievement is still worth recognizing, in addition, ancient India also has the world's earliest religion.
Point 5, Chinese civilization.
Around 3000 BC, Chinese civilization was officially formed, which is why when we introduce ourselves to others, in addition to being the descendants of dragons, we will also say that our civilization has been up and down for five thousand years.
The 5,000 years here are basically derived from 3000 BC, and the formation of civilization established a unified regime in 2070 BC, the Xia Dynasty, and then the xia shang zhou, the spring and autumn warring states, the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, I will not talk more about.
Although there have been many historical iterations in the middle, the core of Chinese civilization has not changed in any way, it is nothing more than a change of person to become an emperor.
From the inheritance of civilization, the Chinese language has been passed down to the present day, and the classical documents formed in the traditional Chinese language continue endlessly.
It is hard for you to believe that a Tang poem and Song poem you read with your hand may be the content of more than 1,000 years ago, and the poetry we read with your hand may be the content written by the ancients two or three thousand years ago.
The Chinese people have the world's earliest smelting technology and the earliest agricultural technology, as a great agricultural civilization, agriculture is a piece of play.
It also has the earliest shipbuilding technology, winemaking technology, and has the world's earliest musical instrument, and this instrument may have been excavated more than 9,000 years ago or more than 8,600 years ago.
As for the so-called philosophical works and military works, they are also the first in the world to appear.
The Chinese civilization has endured for 5,000 years, and it may have experienced loneliness or setbacks, but each time it has continued with extremely tenacious survival ability and tolerance ability.
Moreover, the core of Chinese civilization has not changed since the beginning, not only has it not changed, but it has also diffracted out, allowing other countries, especially the surrounding vassal countries in Asia, to obtain cultural inheritance.
