"After Dayu's death, his son Qi established the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history."

【Dayu is awesome!!】

【Society, I am Brother Yu!】

【It has to be us!】

Bi Fang smiled.

"China is facing greater pressure to survive, so it quickly pointed out the technology of dams and canals, which can make use of lakes. In fact, it is a latecomer in development."

"The current tropical desert environment and the Nile River are no place for good human vitality. However, at one time and another, the ingenious combination of the two thousands of years ago gave birth to the leading civilization of ancient Egypt at that time."

"When we expand, we will find that the fundamentals of advanced civilized countries in ancient times are very similar to the Nile River."

"Among the four major ancient civilizations, except for Egypt, the middle and lower reaches of the Mesopotamia where Babylon is located, and the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River Basin where India is located, they are all a combination of large rivers and tropical desert environments. The only exception is China."

Those who could cause floods fled.

Those who don't make a big splash don't point out higher development of science and technology.

Only Huaxia was the scorpion daddy. Not only did he not escape, he also cured the flood.

"In short, due to the extremely low ability of early humans to transform nature, the emergence and development of civilization was extremely dependent on the innate natural environment, and the role of human subjective initiative seemed too small."

"In this case, only if the innate environment is very suitable, and as long as humans master a few low-level farming skills, it is possible to produce enough food, then a civilized country can be born at the earliest."

"So everything is not static, it's always changing."

"At the beginning of the development of civilization, this combination of tropical deserts and large rivers had obvious advantages. However, as human civilization progresses, its disadvantages gradually become apparent."

"After all, the development potential of desertified land is limited. When human technology develops to the point where it is capable of fully developing and utilizing difficult land areas such as lakes and swamps, Egypt will be beaten to death on the beach by the back waves."

"Among the four ancient civilizations, although China took shape relatively late, it caught up from behind and became the leader in one fell swoop."

“Indian civilization arose in the Indus River Basin, but its center of civilization shifted with the development of the Ganges River Basin.”

"Although the Mesopotamia where Babylon is located has always maintained its status as a first-class geological plate in the Middle East, the preservation of this status is largely due to the advantages of its geographical location. However, due to the production potential of its plate itself, it has long been

It was left far behind by China and India.”

"Although Egypt is the forerunner of the four ancient civilizations, it is also the one that has declined most completely."

"As other plates were developed one after another, Egypt's comprehensive strength was surpassed one after another. When the geographical strength of these plates developed to the point of being capable of external expansion, Egypt was reduced to a target of conquest by foreign forces."

"Persia, Macedonia, Rome, Byzantium, Arabia, and the Ottoman Empire all powerfully incorporated Egypt into their territory."

[Hey, things are changing.]

【There is no eternal empire】

【Is it coming to an end?】

Bi Fang used his nails to peel off the outer skin of the papyrus stems he had just broken off, and then used a knife to cut into long strips along the direction of growth, and placed them horizontally and vertically.

"Did you see the 'reed' on my hand? This is actually not a reed, but papyrus. It is a plant that looks like a reed and is abundant in the Nile Delta."

"I want to cut it like this and then overlap it, then hit it with a mallet to make the grass juice ooze out. After drying, these long strips will be permanently stuck together. Finally, they can be polished with pumice and used as paper."

"This was papyrus, the most advanced writing medium in the world at that time, and it became an important document for later generations of scholars to study ancient Egyptian civilization."

"But because papyrus is not suitable for folding and cannot be made into books, many pieces of papyrus must be glued into long strips and rolled into a roll after writing, thus forming a scroll."

"So we can often see that some ancient documents in the West are scrolls. If it were in ancient times, maybe my adventures this time would be recorded on such scrolls and passed down from generation to generation?"

With a little knowledge as the final conclusion, Bi Fang stopped delaying and gave a two-finger salute to the drone that was gradually rising and flying over the other side of the Nile River.

"This time the story ends here, but it is not the end. I am Bi Fang. See you next time."

As the drone flew over the Nile River and passed through the small oasis, Bi Fang finally turned into a black dot.

Disappear.
