The world as we know it today could be termed as a complex organism forged to its present reality by its most dominant creation: humanity. The world's evolution can literally be traced and connected to human activities and interactions throughout the centuries. Today, we look at the earliest human civilizations, their makeup, achievements, and why they are still relevant.
8. The Mayan Civilization
The Mayans were indigenous people of Mexico and Central America who inhabited the territories of modern-day Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, and Chiapas in Mexico and Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras.
7 Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley civilization is among the earliest Near East and South Asia civilizations. It is also known as the Harrapan civilization or the Sarasvati civilization.
6. Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt was one of the longest and most advanced civilizations ever known on Earth. This was a civilization in Northeast Africa located in the Nile valley. This great civilization is thought to have begun around 3100 B.C.E, consisting of megacities ruled by kings known as pharaohs.
5. The Inca
The Inca empire was an ancient civilization that existed in Pre-Columbian America. The Inca civilization is believed to have begun in the Peruvian Highlands in the 13th Century. Their empire was the largest in that part of the world spanning from Quito in the north to Santiago in the South.
4. The Phoenicians
Phoenicia was a prehistoric civilization made up of separate city-states along the Mediterranean Sea coast that extended into what is now northern Israel, Syria, and Lebanon.
3 Sumer
Sumer was the earliest human civilization, whose origins can be traced back to 4,500 B.C.E. This civilization was founded in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), in a region known as the Fertile Crescent, located between the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers.
2. Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece was an ancient civilization that existed between the 12th century BCE to 600 CE and spanned several millennia. Greece's geography greatly influenced its culture because, with few natural resources and surrounded by water, the people eventually turned to the sea for a living. Ancient Greece can be attributed to modern history through academia in fields such as philosophy, mathematics, history, literature, and even drama.
1. Ancient Rome
The term "ancient Rome" refers to the Roman civilization from the 8th-century B.C.E. when the city of Rome was founded, to the 5th century C.E. when the Western Roman Empire collapsed. Rome was originally a small town on the banks of the Tiber River.
