A short post.....
Civilization is an advanced state of societal development, isn't it? But then the question arises..why do civilizations fall? Does the 'fall' of a civilization imply that the societal development that preceded it has been reduced to ashes?
What puzzles me the most ( and I am puzzled very easily) is the close link between civilization and its three 'pillars'(in my opinion) government, religion and geography. Damage to even one of these pillars has pushed civilizations off cliffs. Is it true that civilizations that are 'invaded' and whose existing political structures are annihilated cannot continue to exist as they did prior to these changes? Has there ever been a case of two civilizations assimilating and forming a new hybrid structure?
Are these even questions worth asking?.... May be my definition of civilization is wrong.
