Ancient Civilizations Fascinates Me

ancient Civilizations like Roman civilization, Indus Valley Civilization to name a few, the modern day civilizations owe a lot to the ancient civilizations, unraveling their cultural and heritage.

Ancient civilisations are no doubt fascinating because we know less about them. However they could not have been technologically as strong like today but yes they may not have been so simple also as we expect them to be. The civilisations that could create Mahabharata, Ramayana, Bible, Torah, Homer etc  were high up in many areas.

True...but it is not only the literature that are the most sublime creations of those particular bygone eras, but also the architecture the vestiges of which we see in the form of fascinating monuments such as the Roman and Greek ruins, ancient temples and palaces of India, Cambodia, China, Egypt and other countries. Reading and knowing more about these civilizations is really quite fascinating and mesmerizing.

India along with Chinese and Egyptians has one of the oldest living civilization although it has undergone many changes now . I personally find Chinese civilization the most fascinating because they were so advanced in so many ways. The intricate art , cuisine , architecture , beliefs - everything shows that they were much more advanced and evolved as a race , while compared to all the other ancient civilizations 

I am also interested in history, In these day I am reading book on Rajput of Jaipur. Kushwah Rajput. Here is link you can watch map of ancient civilization of India.

Indeed authentic books are not available. I Read about Jatt community in a book Madya Kalin Islam, and also read about these in book History of Bhati. Details in these book about Jatt are not matched 

The Egyptian civilization seems mystic to me. Would love to explore more about it. Mummification, pyramids, tales of Greek Gods....everything leaves you with  a goose bump. I feel knowing it more will be like going on a mysterious ride. Would collect more information and post 

The Chinese life centered around the yellow river,  which is considered to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. We can find records of their ancient history as early as 1500bc. Infact the various dynasties like Xia, Zhou and Qin that ruled during the ancient times were in control of the entire nation along with Tibet until the civil war in 1927.

Oldest civilization of present India is Mohan Jodra and Harrapa, 2900 BC, How may years old Egyptian civilization. I read that Egyptian civilization have their calander, on it basis they plan their farming.

The oldest known civilization is Mesopotamian ( Iraq ), which is 6500 BC old , but some archaeologists are the opinion that both Indus valley civilization and Mesopotamian civilizations probably co existed or were not far apart . 

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..

In fact all the ancient civilizations were do well defined in their own way depending on the geographical position and natural resources..

In all ages humans keep making achievements commensurate with the times they love in.

Ancient civilizations are very inspiring as they provide our society guidelines for operating. Ancient civilizations has experienced various kind of situations and their ways of tackling the problem can be exemplary for all of us. They have faced many economical, social, political and domestic difficulties that might resemble our difficulties that we are dealing with presently. It can offer us solutions if we look back to anicent civilizations.

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.
