When we read about the achievements of the ancient civilization all over the world, we are left amazed. Whether it is the complicated process of mummification of Egypt or the accurate earthquake prediction by the chinese, I wonder how did they know so much. I am also fascinated by the Mayan civilization thst existed in Mexico and the centrsl America for around 2000BC. The calendar system they followed or their their achievement in astronomy were matchless

Scientists  from IIT, Kharagpur and Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), have recently uncovered evidence that the Indus Valley civilization is at least 8000 years old. By this, it is evident  Indus Valley civilization is not only much older than the    Mesopotamian or the  Egyptian  civilizations ,but also the oldest civilizations in the World.

Let us not fight as to which civilization is the oldest. All lost civilizations are fascinating to know because of their antiquity.

Its a discussion about which is the oldest Civilization in the world. Of course antiquity imparts weight and value to the Civilizations.

This is not a discussion on which is the oldest civilization, as usual again you have got it wrong. Here we are discussing about ancient civilizations! Period..

When we look back in history , we find that many human values and basic knowledge regarding wisdom and other studies that are knowledge based remain the same to this day. When we look at some of the architecture wonders of those days like the Pyramids, Great wall of China or the Colosseum of Rome, it simply amazes you as to how they did it !

The Pyramids of Egypt elicit awe for their size and construction and the mystery of their purpose. People have been visiting the Pyramids since ancient times, and it is not surprising that the ancient, Great Pyramids of  of Giza were deemed as one of the Sven wonders of the world.
