Why did nearly all places that were the centers of civilization in antiquity wind up as third world shitholes shitholes today?
>>
because they moved ever west from civilization to civilization

no civilisation lasts forever. This isn't really an easy question to answer but I guess at its core (more or less) you could say at the beginning of what we would consider the "pre-modern era" the empires running those areas were on their last legs. While Europe after centuries of infighting was starting to use their advanced military might to advance their own Empires. This tore those regions apart and left them poor, corrupt and uneducated which has kept that region (for the most part) as "third world" countries.

Idk man greece and Italy are pretty neat countries. Really beautiful with great weather and good food. They have a lot of stuff we don't even have in california. Egypt is totally a shithole though. Only places I've been
>>
>>1727905
Muslims
Mongols
Perfidious Anglos

That's the meme answer anyway
>>
They are only shitholes relative to regions that benefited from the industrial revolution.
>>
>>1727905
Because they were very nice and everyone fought over them. A place can only afford to be sacked so many times until they're set back beyond repair.

Egypt isn't so bad as long as you have money.

>>1727905
Mostly Islam or communism. These things are worse than a crack addiction.

It was hot as fuck in almost all of those places. Good for ancient civilazations, not so good since we've invented central heating and sweaters

This is a result of standard model of civilization collapses. Powerful civilizations got destroyed, but they fall on behalf of the Periphery. Look at history, it goes something like that:
> USA was backside of Britain
> Britain was backside of Rome
> Rome was backside of Greece
This is why there was zero powerful kingdoms in Italy or most valuable West Roman Empire lands
> Germany was backside of Rome
> France was backside of Rome
Every times when civilization falls into the shit, it is because center is weakened. Repeat the same shit enough times and you got old centers as the most shit hole places on Earth.

Oh please have you ever been to Florence or Pisa? The Central Plazas and Tourist sites are ladden with souvenir peddlers. Also Italian food is overrated and ridiculously overprized. On top of that, the roads stink like cheap boose and animal shit, while it is admittedly is better than India, it still is dirty as fuck compared to Northern & Western Europe.
