What is the most stable ancient civilisation?

>>1731328
China still exist even today, so they are.

>>1731350

Every place on that map still exists.

>>1731350
Rome exists as much in the West as the ancient China does in modern China.

>>1731363
And only chinese culture evolved mainly from same culture depicted on map.
And desu it was egypt for 3000 years same religion, language and system of government

>>1731328
Zimbabwe is an ancient "civilization" in 1000 AD

Cucuteni, Vinca, Hittities, Luwians, Phrygians, Iberians, Turdetans, Nuragics, Phoenicians, Hurrians, Elamites, kingdom of Saba, Celts, Arameans, Judeans, ancient Japanese and Numidians aren't for some reason

>>1731650
I forgot Urartu.

>>1731382
This.

Egypt was basically the same place from the time of Narmer to the time of Cleopatra.

Ridiculously stable place by any standards.

>>1731679
The customs are especially similar, for instance the iconography of the pharaoh smiting his captive enemies is always the same since Narmer in 3100 bc all the way to the Macedonian pharaohs, it's incredible.

Meanwhile Greek society changed completely in just a couple centuries from 1200 to 700 bc.

The Nuraghe society seems so comfy to live in.

If it were the bronze age I'd want to live in Egypt. They had a strong enough economy to build pyramids, access to Mediterranean trade and they could fend off the sea peoples.

Mesopotamia was a bit chaotic and soil salination caused problems.

Indus, Ganges and Yellow river civs apparently had smaller economies.

>>1731724
The Indus Valley civilizations didn't have much evidence of war, and they had gridiron layouts and working sewers.

I'd pick that.

What happened?

>>1731768
Indo "Aryans" happened

>>1731768
Presumably filthy Aryans.

Or filthy Dravidians.

One of those.

I don't know much about Egypt, but it seems like their peasant economy that created a grain surplus existed throughout history with just a change of rulers to exploit it.
Assyrians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Arabs, Mamluks, Ottomans, all just took over at the top, while Egyptian society just kept on producing grain surpluses like forever.

>>1731650
make a better map

>>1732383
>yfw they import grain now

>>1731350
China atopped existing in 1644.

Greece and Rome were filled with citystate/civil wars though.

Id say egypt

Egypt undoubtly. Repetitive year-long climate, bunch of sunlight, and one of the most predictable and stable major rivers in the world that allows long-term agriculture and bountiful crops that bring and maintain civilization. And the fact that the near-by lands close to the Nile were inhospitable, unlike the Tigris and Euphrates, so domination was a bigger priority and containment was easier as far as quelling internal rebellions and strife. Their large public monuments are a testament to this--there's no way they could've been commissioned without outrage and competition among subordinate leaders and elders without a strong and long-term centralized and efficient government to quell and persuade them.
