The Course of Human History (XV)
By about 6000 or 700 BC, tribes of comparable levels of Peruvian civilization had emerged in the fertile lands of the Nile in Asia and North Africa. Western Central Asia, southern Arabia, northern Persia, etc., have left their remains.
Cities, temples, irrigation systems, in the plains of Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt. In the middle of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, the towering Sumerians already had writing, made bronzes, and built tall temples out of sun-dried bricks. They raise cattle, sheep and donkeys.
When fighting, armed with spears and leather shields, they line up in tight formations and charge or defend on foot. On weekdays, he wore clothes made of wool and even learned to get a haircut.
The illek city of "Empire", the world's first written empire, ruled by its gods and priestly kings from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea. The famous "cuneiform script" was invented by them.
The ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphs, written on walls or on the earliest papyrus paper. Later, these two scripts eventually developed into alphabetic scripts. Chinese, who had also used hieroglyphs, magically avoided it.
The invention of writing is absolutely epoch-making!
The Sumerians even had elaborate personal seals, and their lives were centered on temples, bartering, and there was no currency, but the value of gold, silver, and precious stones was known. They live in peace, without knowing anything about the future of a country or a nation, or of the barbaric history of the past.
It is reported that at this time Egypt produced a good king, Pebby II, who ruled ancient Egypt for ninety years, and was peaceful and peaceful.
But there are far more ambitious guys, expanding, plundering, and building huge burial chambers and pyramids (the largest, 4.883 million tons of stone alone), which is far more laborious than a large-scale, protracted war!
