The first emergence of civilization is questionable.. Most scholars probably agree that Mesopotamia was first. A civilization found in the fertile crescent in a land that we now know as Iraq. Others say the Indus Valley civilization in Northern India, and some say Egypt/Nubia. All on the eastern side of the hemisphere...
The Sumerians came on the scene around 4 - 5000 BC.. They developed the first written language, agriculture, religion, and also created something we use commonly up until this day, the wheel!
The Indus Valley reigned around 3500 to 1300 BC in Northern India. They were credited with creating the first advanced irrigation systems and even evidence of early plumbing systems. A lot of scholars believe that the origins of racism actually began here.. Much evidence suggests that the Dravidians(a dark skinned race of people in southern India resembling the Aboriginals of Austrailia) are direct descendants of the people of the Indus Valley civilization, while the mixed Aryans of today's Northern India(the ones we've all come to know) are direct descendants of invaders who used a cad system to expel them from their land.
Egypt, the most well known of these civilizations is believed to have begun around 4,000 BC, but wasn't unified until around 3100 BC under the pressure of Narmer. Famous for the pyramids, sphinx, and countless other achievements, this was one of the longest lasting nations to sustain its self continuously next to Ethiopia and China. Nubia, it's neighbor to the South was a very prosperous nation of people, and is said by some to have "kick started" Egyptian civilization. Many of them looked the same, held the same beliefs, customs, and religions.. Maybe the only huge difference between them is that Nubia didn't allow as many invasions. Nubia is the only ancient nation to be invaded by Rome(in its hey day) and not be conquered. Rome was forced to settle for a peace treaty, basically being ran out by a woman, as Nubia was a matriarchal society and at that time was ran by a Queen(which I find kind of funny, lol)..
Honorable mention to Greece and Rome, even though they practically stole 80% of their knowledge from Egypt, but hey, whatever..
Why did I write all of this shit? I don't even know ya'll, guess I'm just bored and feel like talking about ancient history and civilization. Any one have any input, like info on the Mayans, Incas, people of ancient Ghana, China, Japan, etc...
