#50 - What can we learn from the Ancient Worlds: Greece, China, and Mesopotamia

After reading many books, watching many videos and finding a direct interest in the past, it is clear to me the human has not changed to any great extent. This is not something done as part of a degree but it's all down to self-learning.

The reason in particular Greece, China, and Mesopotamia are important is because they were and are the most successful societies in human history. So it is not really worth considering (for now) other soceities.

Just remember these societies were not primitive, they were long lived and closer to nature and true to the human than what were are now. They did not have the illness or sickness on the scale we now have. For example, mobility issues were not the same nor were cancer not was heart disease. Yes, these people were long lived but did have a high child mortality rate.

“We have seen, we have read and we have proof of many civilizations, which have been buried under the ground due to the tendency of following negative path. History has proven all this. And now we even have many discoveries of these ancient cities, which were somehow much more glorious than our civilization. They have gone; they progressed up to the very top level of civilization, also to the very top level of electronic and mechanic development. But even then they didn’t pursue God; they didn’t pursue the right principle of life, so they also went down. These discoveries should be the great lessons, for our generations and many other generations to come.”
