Coles Rediscovering European History And Western Civilization: From Anatolia And Caucasus? at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
It has been widely accepted that Western civilization started around 4 thousand years ago, or 4 tya, in ancient Greece. It is also known that ancient Greece inherited much from the preceding Mesopotamia Civilization of 6 tya.
European and western civilizations did indeed learn much from Mesopotamia, the fertile crescent in the Middle East, the strip of land above the Persian Gulf, where the Sumerians, Assyrians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Hittites, and Ancient Persians held sway and built their powerful empires and their impressive civilizations.
But recent paleogenetics evidence has turn up surprising information on how Europe and Western Civilization are closely related to the ancient cultures in Anatolia and Caucasus.
People in Europe and the West in general must acknowledge their past connections and debts to peoples in other parts of the world.
They must not get into a mindset of entitlement. They must not think that they are the chosen people of God and that they owe nothing to other peoples in the world. That kind of arrogant mindset can only lead to more terrible conflicts and wars in the world.
Indeed, humanity is a continuing and never-ending project that requires all the peoples of the world to pool their knowledge, culture, ingenuity and experience to create happiness for all and to chart the future common course of humankind.
