Western civilization didn't exist until Charlemagne
True.
>It is I, Charlemagne, Carolus Magnus, Charles le Magnat, founder of the Western Civilization.
>Bow before me, germanic servants, for I am made of Gold.
>It is I, whom can lift the terrestrial globe in one hand and a roman style church in the other one.
>I sleep beneath the mountain waiting for my time to arise.
Based Alcuin
read a book on that. charlamagne and muhammad. when europe and ME/N.Africa split after rome.
Is that supposed to be...?
Actually his name was Karl, Charles is just a later Frenchification so the serfs could identify better with their Germanic nobility.
N-never forget based Alcuin!

Western civilization didn't exist until the early modern period
Europe and the east "split" during the third century crisis and fifth century schisms. They became disunited after the crusades. Charlemagne was in between those periods and had to compete with Islamic Spain.

Greco-Romans were fucking aliens compared to Carolingian Europeans
They were most similar to the other ancient middle easterners
Europe was born after Charlemagne's coronation
Europe existed but it only meaningfully referred to Southern Europe. Southern Europe, Anatolia, the levant and north africa were and still are part of mediterranean civilization however.
>a continent with 500k years of history only existed after some French guy converted to Judaism
The near east had a Christian majority at the time. Were pagan Romans and near Easterners more similar than Christian Romans/Franks and near Easterners? Maybe, but I doubt it.

I speak of cultural Europe
Part of the reason Muslims were accepted so quickly was the enormous cultural divide that grew between the Christian northern Mediterranean vs Christian south
Western civilization has existed since the first walled towns of iron (or even bronze, who knows) age Europe.
Stop playing with semantics, you bloody coward.
So the Bantu were part of western civilization? AND the Sumerians? Cool
Western civilization is really American civilization.
>First true Western democratic uprising
>Consitution based on preserving individual rights and freedom
