There has always been a saying in China that there are "four ancient civilizations in the world", but this view is actually outdated. With the deepening of modern archaeology in China, more and more archaeological discoveries have proved that China is the origin of human civilization, and the ancient Indian civilization and ancient Persian civilization should also be earlier than the ancient Egyptian and ancient Babylonian civilizations, so the world should be the "five ancient civilizations".
Modern archaeology has proved that China, which has earlier archaeological discoveries of agriculture, painted pottery, winemaking, boats and cars, writing, ring moat settlements, and philosophical ideas than ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon, is the real origin of human civilization. China is the head of the world's ancient civilizations, not ancient Egypt or ancient Babylon, let alone ancient India or ancient Persia.
Human civilization originated in China and spread from China to West Asia and North Africa through South and Central Asia. Therefore, the ancient Indian civilization should predate the ancient Egyptian and ancient Babylonian civilizations. It's just that because the archaeology of India is still relatively backward, more and earlier ancient human sites have not yet been discovered. As in the last century, archaeology in China was in its infancy, and ancient civilizations are thought to lag behind ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and ancient India.
Ancient Persia was once excluded from the "Four Great Civilizations of the World" because scientists believed that the ancient Persian civilization was not a primitive civilization. But from the point of view of the spread of civilization, the Chinese civilization should first spread to the Iranian plateau, and then to the two river basins. Then the ancient Persian civilization should be earlier than the ancient Babylonian civilization and should be included in the list of the "five ancient civilizations in the world". If the ancient Persian civilization is not the original civilization, then the ancient Indian, ancient Egyptian, and ancient Babylonian civilizations derived from the Chinese civilization are not the original civilization, and the original human civilization is only the Chinese civilization.
The ancient Indian and Persian civilizations preceded the ancient Egyptian and ancient Babylonian civilizations, and subsequent archaeological discoveries will prove this assertion, and the ancient history of the world will also be rewritten, and the "five ancient civilizations of the world" will also be re-ranked: the first is the Chinese civilization, followed by the ancient Indian civilization, then the ancient Persian civilization, and finally the ancient Egyptian and ancient Babylonian civilizations. You can't believe in the Day Society, but you can't fail to believe in modern archaeology. Personal judgment, don't spray if you don't like it.
