The statement of "four ancient civilizations" comes from Liang Qichao's statement that "there are four ancient civilizations on the earth", but it is not the same as its original intention. This statement is only popular in China, but it has not been recognized by historians all over the world. Because this statement can only represent the center of civilization of the origin of civilization, which is not standardized. The four ancient civilizations actually correspond to the four birthplaces of the world. Civilization refers to the two river basins, ancient Egypt, ancient India and China, where human civilization was first born, but the Aegean civilization in the same period is not included.
The demise of ancient civilization
Originated in ancient Egypt in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile, it is a country with religious color. The ancient Egyptian civilization was born in 4000 BC, and in 343 BC, the powerful Persian dynasty conquered ancient Egypt again, and the ancient Egyptian civilization died out.
Ancient Indian civilization originated in 2300 BC. Due to the discovery in Halaba, India, all of them, also known as "Halaba civilization", have a high degree of urbanization (city-state), but due to religious beliefs and caste system, their comprehensive strength is weak among the four ancient civilizations.
The ancient Egyptians made great achievements in political system, religion, mathematics, architecture, astronomy and other fields. The pyramids and the Sphinx now located in Egypt are the products of ancient Egyptian civilization. The ancient Egyptians also created hieroglyphs and papyrus. The ancient Egyptian civilization was once brilliant, but with the invasion of foreign enemies such as the Persian Empire, the prosperous ancient Egyptian civilization was also destroyed.
