These are reasons why some Asian nations such as CHina, Japan and Malaysia advanced quicker, learning from their predecessors. Also note that none of these nations were conquered by the europeans.

Other continents had role model civilizatiosn, they just didn't learn adn advance. The Mayans and Aztec's could have been role models spreading North and South America, however, tribal disputes caused seperation, and religious beliefs and philosophies on life stalled advancement. Same goes with the tribes in africa. This is WHY they were conquered. This is WHY china conquered nations. They were less advanced, less mobilized, less unified, and less educated.

If by the word "civilized" you mean more capable at killing hundreds of people, then yes I agree... or how about knowing how to destroy nature, introduce mass illness or other things of a civilized country... The natives, I think, had the right idea from the very beginning... living WITH nature, not conquering it. Sharing the land, not oppressing others for advancment...

the natives did have the right idea, but it obviousley wasnt the one that lasted...if we could all be tree huggers and simply evolve then the world would be a better place..but people deal with life as it comes...im not defending all the big oil refineries..or clearcutting..im just saying that the natives did lose, anf life happened, we cant change it just evolve with it

So I think that based on this fact, we can build a huge mother of a city by just using papaya leaves/branches, a nile river, limestone and lots of sand? :)

Just out of curiousity...what does your username "Diaphorrhhoea" stand for? The closest thing I found was:

diarrhoea.
di·ar·rhe·a also di·ar·rhoe·a :

"Excessive and frequent evacuation of watery feces, usually indicating gastrointestinal distress or disorder." :)

Well, if we throw Stargate and *Predater VS Alien* out of the mix, I am still optimistic as to how they REALLY built their city...but then again..my name is antenna_boy, and I was the head of construction on the alien side heheheh :)

I was referring to the theory that "other continents" did not advance as fast because of geography. Places like Africa and N/S.America span along the lines of latitude with varying climates. Places like Europe obviously spans across longitude. This allowed for ideas, customs and practices to be spread more efficiently. For example, the italian merchant states of the Renaissance. Italy benefited, in part, by trade routes passing from East to West. N. America was filled with vast resources that could have let it surpass the other side of the world but they lacked the collective community that was afforded to other continents. Simply geography. Your assertion that the Europeans were more civilized and intelligent is simply racist rhetoric fit for a surrey skinhead pamphlet.

It takes an ignorant comment like this to ruin an entirely decent thread and turn it petty.
