    The Life Spans of Ancient Civilizations

    One way to look at the rise and fall of past civilisations is to compare their longevity. This can be difficult, because there is no strict definition of civilisation, nor an overarching database of their births and deaths.​

    Got Civilization?
    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    But, how valid?

    Consider civilizations end for various reasons.
    climate change
    epidemic
    and of course being ended by military force, even by an "inferior" culture.

    What conclusions is one to figure from this study?

    :hmm:

    I think the european civilization is almost dead, right now the american civilization is still alive but in crisis.

    What to conclude ? Every civilization end to disappear. That's madness to think that our will know another fate.
