Oldest civilization in the world?

1.Melunhnan 7500 BC

 

Recent discovery of a sunken city at the bay of Combay was dated back 9500 years ago.

Mesopotamia was home to some of the oldest major ancient civilizations, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians and Assyrians. They were all one people and spoked the same language. There were no differences between them.

The Sumerians spoke "Sumerian", a language totally unrelated to Akkadian (i.e. Old Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian).  Sumerian was an agglutinative language, whereas Akkadian languages were inflective languages. 

Anybody ever consider the Minoan civilization?

Minoans were not any offshot of Egypt (though they have some infuences)...

But Minoans are too young. Minoan civilization starts only c. 2000 BCE.

yet when someone comes in here with only 10 posts, and is trolling, then it shows why they have joined the forum.

Guys,
 
          Where has the Indian civilization gone, are u ignorant or have u included the Indian civilization as part of Iranian, if u did so, u are the most ignorant of all beings

     And the Indian civilizatiion is the only ancient civilization still in existence, and the rest of the civilization have gone.

   What do u mean by saying Indian civilization gone....

Ask any knowledgebal Hindu about what period the World is in at present, he will tell you, ....Indians and Hindus believe they are presently in kaliyug(the length of which is 432,000 years)..and according to our ancient texts the there are four such periods with  below is an extract of what our ancient texts say ...


ONE COSMIC DAY OF CREATOR BRAHMA
(as per Hindu scriptures, particularly the Srimad-Bhagavatam)

• The one day is divided into 14 periods. Six such periods are over. We are now in the 7th.
• Each period is named after the One Ruler who is appointed to rule the entire earthly world during that period. The generic name for such a ruler is Manu. The period is called a Manvantara.
• The name of the present Manu is Vaivasvata, the son of the Sun-God.
• How long is the day of Brahma ? (4.32 billion years)
• What is the present age of this universe ?
• What is the Hindu concept of Time ?

Names of the manvantaras of this day of Brahma upto the present seventh.
(each manvantara is of duration 306,720,000 human years)

             7. Vaivasvata          PRESENT MANVANTARA
                        There are seven more manvantaras to go in the future

We are in the 7th manvantara .
Each manvantara is divided into 71 maha-yugas.
We are in the 28th maha-yuga of this manvantara.
Each maha-yuga is divided into 4 yugas shown below for the current maha-yuga.

 

We are presently in the kaliyuga
of the 28th maha-yuga
of the 7th manvantara of Brahma�s day
(Duration of every kali-yuga = 432,000 years)
Notation l: = 432,000

 

Age of the Universe

 

Duration of Brahma�s day

One day of Brahma is of duration equivalent to 1000 mahayugas. His night is equally long. At the beginning of every day creation starts. At the end of the day all that was created merge in the Absolute and Brahma �sleeps� as it were. 360 such days and nights make one year of Brahma. According to the Puranas, He has spent 50 years like this and this day is the first day in his fifty-first year!

One day of Brahma  = 14 manvantaras + 15 manvantara twilights
(because there is an extra manvantara - twilight at the end of all the 14 manvantaras)

= 14 x 71 mahayugas + 15 x 4 l
= 994 mahayugas + 60 l
= 994 mahayugas + 6 mahayugas
= 1000 mahayugas
= 1000 x10 l = 4,320,000,000 human years.

Names of the remaining seven (future) manvantaras of this day of Brahma

8 Saavarni   -------------------> 9 Daksha-saavarni 10 Brahma-saavarni 11 Dharma-saavarni 12 Rudra-saavarni 13 Deva-saavarni 14 Indra-saavarni after which cosmic night will follow

The next Manu (i.e., the eighth) will be Saavarni. This promise was made by Mother Goddess to one King Suratha during the second Manvantara. To him (and another) the triple story of Mother Goddess is narrated in the Devi-bhagavatam ( also Chandi or Durg A-saptasati ). The story begins from a mythological event that happened after the end of the last kalpa (= day of Brahma) and ends up by forecasting the feats of Mother Goddess that are yet to happen in this kalpa. One such is the prediction that Suratha will be born as Manu Saavarni.

                                 A mind that cannot comprehend to such times call all these things myths,  these were callled myths until the scientists by their own tools put the age of earth ot 4 billion years....but this is what from acient times the Hindus beleived.....
                                Now its time the Iranians grabbed this one too and make this their part of civilisation....
                              Anyone who has such info is got to be the oldest civilization , the mayans, the aztechs and a few other had similar views but not in such detail, so it got to be Indian civilization the oldest of all.
