Olympic Games (interesting, actually)
#50
Quote:Why it is hard to believe that some forms of "higher civilazation" (my quotes) simply originated in the West.

I have never said that the Greeks or Romans never took some elements of "Eastern" civilisation and elevated them higher. Of course they did. Just as the Assyrians adopted and elevated the civilisation bestowed upon them by the Babylonians who in turn adopted it from the Sumerians.
What I am championing is cultural continuity.
