The world's civilization, we are told, has its earliest origins in the East, rather
than in the West.The main stream of Western
civilization is, indeed, not as old as that of Eastern civilization.It originated from 4500 B.C. to 2000 B.C. in Sumeria, Egypt,
Babylonia and Assyria as well as in China and India, all of which have been
considered by Westerners as Eastern countries.Yet, it still dates as
far back as over 1000 years B.C. It is said to have its sources in Palestine and in
Greece.
