To utilize your free time, reading some articles is not bad. Today, I was very amazed while reading an article about the oldest civilization. The 5 Oldest civilization in the world:
- Inca
Inca Empire grew to become the largest empire in South America during the Pre-Columbian era. The civilization flourished between 1438 AD and 1532 AD around present-day Peru. Ecuador, and Chile. Its administrative capital was located in Cusco or present-day Peru.
The Incas were devoted to Sun God and had a king called “Sapa Inca” (child of the sun). The city of Cusco resembled a puma. Incas were great builders who built fortresses and sites including Machu Picchu and Cusco itself that still stands to date.
- Aboriginal Australians
Although Mesopotamia civilization is considered the oldest in the world’s history, some researchers believe that Aboriginal Australian is the oldest. The Aborigines can be traced back to 75,000 years ago but become a genetically distinct group about 50,000 years ago.
It is believed that they first settled in Australia approximately 40,000 years ago and are considered the direct ancestors of the present-day Australians. Some of the latest discoveries indicate that the Aborigines practiced cremation.
- Jiahu
Jiahu settlement was situated in the central plain of ancient China. The inhabitants of the settlements developed some of the aspects of the Chinese culture. The people were mainly rice farmers but are mostly known for producing the world’s oldest wine.
Some of the oldest musical items such as flutes have also been linked to them.
The earliest forms of Chinese writings can be traced back to the Jiahu. They had distinct markings in the artifacts which indicate that they used signs rather than systematic writing.
- Aztecs
Aztecs were not considered ancient civilization by European standards. However, they were among the earliest and most organized and powerful people of the Americas. They came into the scene around the time when Incas were beginning to assert their dominance in South America.
They were mostly based in present-day Mexico but also stretched into Central America. Their rise almost coincided with the fall of the Mayans. Aztec civilization was at its peak in the early 1500s.
- Mayan
The Mayan culture began alongside the Shang Dynasty. The Mayans lived from around 1200 BC to 250 BC in areas around Central America and Mexico, the day Guatemala, Salvador, Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. The Ancient Mayan civilization flourished around 2600 BC.
Once established, civilization went on to become one of the most complex civilizations that were characterized by a population boom of about 19 million people at its peak. The Mayans devised their method of writing by 700 BC and used the writing to create a solar calendar on stones. They were gifted astronomers who calculated dates by studying the movement of the heavens.
I was very much amazed when I see those photos. Really, the great history behind this current world.
