No.  All civilization has the mean to change and resurrect itself.  The openness of the Western Civilization helps it to reinvent itself when needed.

When Plato's ancestor Solon went to Sais in Egypt (600 BC), the priests told him about Atlantis. They also said that inscriptions on their temple walls told how many times civilisations had risen to great heights and then fallen because of natural catastrophes such as floods, fire, earthquakes, etc. I think that maybe we are being a little presumptuous to think that it can't happen to us. I have spent the last 15/20 years researching a related subject and in my opinion the last great catastrophe was 9600 BC, with the sudden and abrupt end of the mini-ice-age called the Younger Dryas period. I believe that this is the basis of the Biblical flood. Getting back to today - the Christian versus Muslim thing - yep, of course it coming, you can smell it! I should imagine that most of the faceless men in grey suits already know this and are moving their pieces on the world chess board accordingly. Humans are amazing - we've been on the moon and sent machines out to beyond the solar system, I can pick up my phone and talk immediately to a person on the other side of the world, I can sit in my armchair and with the smallest of thumb movements be entertained by 100 different TV channels - but with the flick of an eyelid this civilisation can be destroyed because people believe that their unseen and unproven overlord of the cosmos is better than the other man's invisible and all-seeing ever-present boss. It almost makes you want to scream! We're such clever animals - but I don't think that we're too intelligent - and when it's all over we'll begin again.

The ancient Greeks, BC.

None.  They didn't exist when religious texts were written.

I believe the "ancients" that the above is refering to are the Greeks.  The Romans, more specifically Julius Cesar, instigated using the calander we use today, but borrowed the names of the moon phases from the Greeks when they conquered them.

i read book, i don't know if this is what you want or\nnot,but ancient Sumerians believed that the planet in\nquestion is in an orbit that takes it deep into space\nand invisible to earth. this planet was the home of a\ncivilization which is widely believed created human\nexistence on this planet. they traveled to our planet\nduring a close encounter of the planets and spawned\nlife. the Sumerian culture is the oldest known to man\nand are the closest in there beliefs and mythology to\nthe truth well i don't know how that sounds to you,\nhope its  good. there mythology has been read and\ntranscribed metaphorically, with evidence of a people\nwith the ability to fly. in planes. i think its called\ngods of the chariots of chariots of the gods . good\nluck my friend and ii hope this has been informative

Everest wasn't discovered, it's always been there.  Western civilization has known about the Himilayas and Asia since the times of the Romans and probably before that.

Well, some basic concepts from the ancient times have been\nGreat Pyramids- represent man honoring king/pharoah\nGreek Parthenon- represent man honoring humanity\nNotre Dam- represent man honoring God\nHope this helps.  My social studies class was talking about this the other day!

Mu supposedly existed before Atlantis.   I have heard if you cup your palm (one or the other) like you were going to drink water from it and you see a capital M in the creases, you are an old soul and came from the land of Mu.   Lots of interesting stuff out there about Mu and Atlantis.

Yeah you need to see what they have today, that technology is so fifteen years ago.  You don't find out about technology until its ancient history.

This is a bit of a loaded question. If we define civilization as "agrarian (farming) societies with solid structures and a loose governmental hierarchy, then we can say Sumerian and Babylonian peoples, in Mesopotamia (the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers - now called Iraq). \n\nBut it's imortant to realize that human brain hasn't changes for some 30,000 years. If we say roughly, the Mesopotamia was 5,000-2,500 b.c.e., (nearly 7,000 years ago), then we have to ask what happened before that? \n\nHuman no doubt lived in tribal units, and were learning the art of agriculture and animal husbandry. They no doubt had social structures and rules. So, the only difference is building. We could say that they in fact were civilized or at least trying to be. \n\nBut technically, on the books, it's Mesopotamia.
