What are the cradles of civilization? The ancient peoples who originated the greatest empires milleniuns ago, where were they located and where did they come from? Ive been reading about mesopotamia but Id like to know about the rest.
What are the cradles of civilization? The ancient peoples who originated the greatest empires milleniuns ago...
Tigris, Euphrates, Nile, Indus and Yellow River civilizations desu
Where did the germanic peoples and barbarians originate from? And what about the greeks?
The womb of nations, which is a totally different thing.
The Greeks got in on Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilization pretty early on.
...
>The womb of nations
?
>prior to western colonialism
There were flourishing civs in SEA and central Asia, among other places, long before western colonialism.
inaccurate map
Where did the vikings come from
t. Spengler
The whole "Greece has nothing to do with western civilization" meme is really starting to get on my nerves.
>No Ethiopia
>No West Africa
>No Russia
>No fucking SEA
>Mayans somehow responsible for Incas/the bunch of Mexicans civs
What is this trash
You have forgotten Anatolia, were lots of things were domesticated first like cattle.
I though cattle came from aurochs in Iran.
SEA is merely an extension of Indian-style civilization. Later on, Chinks, with the Viets and some Aspects of Thai culture.
I'm curious OP, where are you from? I'm a burger and I think we went over the cradles just about every year starting middle school. It's fairly important stuff to know.
I tough it was in the Taurus mountain in anatolia were the first domestication of the Aurouch occurred (then in India and possibly in North Africa egypt, but that could be a mixing of feral and domesticated cattle).
"Out of Africa" is a fucking meme.
Earth was one continent which split up. Hence why you have such evolutionary failures like abos in Australia which evolved on their own.
Out of Africa is being heavily disputed in modern academia but your justification is moronic.
>WE WUZ CIVILIZED N SHEEIT
Fuck off Spengler
*tips laurel wreath*
None of those is a civilisation.
But Greece is marked on the map
He seems to believe we are literally the same civilisation as the Greeks.
Where the fuck dies this reptillian shit come from? Who the hell thinks "yep space lizards. That makes sense."
The oldest know figurative art is a lion man, 40k years old.
Action Bronson plz
Is it anymore bizarre than filthy weeaboos with delusions of having cartoon girlfriends?
Its ancient akkadian art. Those reptillian figures were found on excavations some time ago in mesopotamia(aka iraq). They're about 7000 years old.
Its pretty weird why the akkadians would create shit like this.
Im from brazil. I actually had subjects on the cradles buy its fairly basic and im really skeptic about eveything hence why im asking about this here.
whats the common ancestry in europe? Sure the many tribes that separated about a millenium bc ans attacked rome must have had a common ancestry.

they are even pre-sumerian
Well, technically there are two geographical areas with the nickname "womb of nations."
Scandinavia was the one the Romans called that, I think the central Asian steppe got that name from the Chinese or some shit.
Both of them had absolute no writing, and tended to periodically eject new nations into the world.
Of course, there's no actual magic there, it's just that the geography there didn't sustain sedentary civilizations for a long time, so you had tribal peoples arise there, and then eventually move out and into the parts of the world that had historical writing
The Germanic peoples were one of the groups to come out of the central Asian steppes.
Who were in mesopotamia before the summerians?
It's a little hard to tell, being that they didn't write things down.
We know that there were cities and agricultural settlements before the advent of writing in the region.
Aw shit
What's the urheimat for Mississippian peoples? Illinois/Indiana hills?
>The Germanic peoples were one of the groups to come out of the central Asian steppes.
I thought they came from the shores of the Black Sea.
...No, proto-Germanic people loved around Denmark
The continents split up long before any mammal let alone any human ever evolved.
No it isn't, that's a /pol/ meme.
The multiregional hypothesis actually works against the interests of white supremacists. A European and an Australian are MORE genetically similar than one might expect, given the true of tens of thousands of years of separation.
The multiregional hypothesis suggests that different populations are so interrelated because "race mixing" happened throughout human history constantly on a mass scale.
>Its pretty weird why the akkadians would create shit like this.
I bet the Elizabethans would think it's pretty weird that people nowadays would make art out of literal shit and period blood but hey, here we are.
Central Mexico / the Olmecs.
>Eastern China
What?
you have to back on your concept of civilization. the were cities in Anatolia before Sumer,
and you still heve to go way back from Anatolia, if you want something prior to the great flood, prior to organized religion. those were the days. dwelling the earth as kings.
>prior to the great flood
Anatolia, Hunan Province China, Nile, Tigris Eurphrates, Indus, Volga River if you count Indo-Europeans
>Volga River if you count Indo-Europeans
Even speaking an an IE, I don't think we count as a civilisation. Not earlier than the Hittites, anyway.
...
>even speaking as an IE
lolwut, you lithuanian or something? Whos the closest to the original IEs?
Neolithic farmers
Coatzacoalcos river basin. Home of the OLMECS
>prior to the great flood
While I do not believe in the subscribed Christian theory of a great flood there is some credibility to it.
That being the flood mythos appears in a shit tonne of ancient mythos'. If it is just a recycled idea, why flood?
These questions really cannot be answered as too much time has passed, but Floods and our ancient mythos is extremely intersting, to both scholars and the casual reader.
Well there really was a great wolrd wide flood with many lands submerged under the sea water
In North and Central America it was the Olmec Homeland.
In south America, Caral in ancient chile/peru
Thats a damn good carving
>These questions really cannot be answered as too much time has passed
People like living near rivers. Rivers flood.
genomic studies reveal that Europe was populated by three separate waves of migrants. Their mixture created the modern day European.
No, Germanic tribes known as the Goths migrated from Scandinavia to the black sea, and then got chased by the Huns into the Roman Empire.
and the rest is history.
It isn't, and you are a retard for taking everything posted on /pol/ or /x/ seriously.
A lot of different, Neolithic tribes. Judging by languages found later in the region, you can expect a huge diversity of nations and languages.
I remember skimming "Recent African origin of modern humans" and seeing a huge criticism section but I can't find it now.
Fugg.
The people who have flood myths also happen to have common ancestry, big cultural influence on each other or live near periodically flooding rivers (or just observe nature around them and make flood myths based on that). Tge details of flood stories are completely different in different stories.
Mesopotamia, Egypt, Norte Chico. But then Knossos, the Phoenicians, and those sorts of later civilizations were probably very important too.
plus whoever spread agriculture through Europe during their conquests. One theory suggests Indo-European but probably it was something a little earlier than this.
