Why would Africa be the 'cradle of civilization'?
Is it because of the countries bordering the Mediterranean? Because Africa seems to be barren and devoid of civilization until the last 200 years....
Why does culture get so much more developed in Europe and North West Asia?
Why does cilture develop so much better in Europe if civilization started in Africa?
Looks like they forgot more than they learned.....
Middle east too....I don't believe it was down their either.....too many wars.... Too much crazy.
Any further information to look into this?
Africa as the cradle of civilization? Where is that written?
Africa is the "cradle of humanity" for the Out of Africa theory of human origins, but not civilization, which virtually all mainstream and even whacky historians/anthropologists/etc. say started in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, the Yellow River and along the Nile (but not with subsaharan africans).
But even then...that theory seems kind of weird....why would it not evolve where we were most local?
Well, the fossil records, according to the out of Africa theory, show that the earliest humans evolved there and then spread out to the rest of the planet.
The thing is, though, even if this were the case, tens of thousands of years of isolation in different parts of the world make for essentially different species.
The multi-origin theory posits simultaneous evolution, but I'm not entirely sold on it.
the garden of Eden was located in what we now call the artic circle. the cradle of civilization(s) would be 2 places. The caucus mountains range and Tibetan plateau. Africa is a nothing burger
That seems somewhat plausible to me. Though I also wonder if the artic stuff is a red herring designed to obscure.
The problem with everything we think we know is or is all carefully put together to lead everyone to certain carefully crafted conclusions. The truth is there is endless amounts of evidence that the Americas.... From Canada, United States, and Mexico held an advanced civilization that existed for a few hundred years, at least from what we can put together. As far as the Cradle of civilization, one cannot begin to try to piece it all together without all the facts. Looking back to antiquity and reviewing old maps we learn about lands beyond our known continents that curiously disappeared over time.
Within the "flat earth" community lies maps that show vast amounts of land beyond our current knowledge. We cannot begin to even try to put the picture together about where man first made it's indelible mark upon the land without knowing the truth about the realm we live in. Crazy to think that as technologically advanced we have become we are still learning about this realm. Look to what we call the North Pole for where the 4 rivers meet, where nobody is allowed to go, in order to find the answers you seek.
That's all for now, and please take what I said with a grain of salt and do your own rabbit hole digging, after all I'm just a stranger on the Internet..... for all you know I could be a bot.
Carry On!!!
The out of Africa theory has pretty well fallen apart over the last 20 years. The theory that makes sense to me is that the cataclysmic event that caused the Younger Dryas period at the end of the last ice age affected the whole earth, but affected Africa the least. That is why megafauna in North America and Europe were largely wiped out at this time, but African megafauna remain today. So it only appears that humans and culture came from Africa and the mideast, but in reality they were just the most intact civilizations after the last ice age.
Bcz North Africa is where we find the most evidence of cultures organizing, developing agriculture and monuments and religions, the furthest back before all others. Its not a conspiracy.. its just a time line. Yes there were cultures that then exploded around the Med but North Africa used to be lush and many cultures thrived for thousands of years prior to the organizing of the Egyptian peoples around the Nile as the desertification began after the Younger Dryas.
Africa/frica/frigus - "cold"...
