Ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt and ancient India even appeared before China.
China is the youngest of the four ancient civilizations.
But longevity is one thing, and inheritance is another.
Compared with eastern and western countries, eastern countries inherit better.
You're as dead as Babylon.
Today's Egypt and India have nothing to do with ancient Egypt and India.
Egypt cannot restore the cuneiform characters of ancient Egypt today.
In other words, no one can understand the ancient Egyptian literature today.
Ancient Indians often wrote things on leaves, which could not be preserved at all.
India has less information about ancient India than China.
Because China invented paper from the Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to rise when it was introduced to China, and the two countries began to communicate frequently from the Tang Dynasty.
On the contrary, people in China remember many things about ancient India.
Western countries have no tradition of compiling official history.
Therefore, compared with a long history, the East and the West are actually similar. The east is younger.
But it's better than inheritance, the East, especially China.
