stupid thread....
look at the choices..only the chinese civilization is real...rest are all loose terms with no actual existence...
for example there was no western civilization..there was a greek civ, then roman civ and then the various germanic, frankish and anglo-saxon cultures....combinedly they contributed to the western values we have today..
then islamic civilization...lol..that was nothing but arab imperialism + persian civilization...only the arabs, persians and turks ruled/contributed to it and so it should either be called perso-turk-arab civilization...
Chinese civilization agreed...
where is the persian civilization.. ??
where is the indian civilization... ??
also the criteria for measuring the greatest civilization is idiotic..by the measure mongol civilization must have been the greatest..the measure should be about the contribution to human endeavor in terms of arts, philosophy, spirituality, science, mathematics, inventions etc..
so in the end I would pick the chinese, indian and western civilization..
chinese for the early inventions and continuity
indian for various advances in ancient science,mathematics, philosphy and spirituality
western for advances in modern science, industrial revolution, concepts of governance like democracy, war fighting capabilities.
Btw if there is any religion which which emerged from a civilization and not from the teachings of any particular individual, its hinduism. IMO this article is crap.
agreed.....
1...Most Successful -- Western Civilization
4...Most Violent ....................Islamic Civilization
no....the western civilization maybe the most sucessful and definitely THE most violent......
