Regions

Civilisations across the earth.

Every region carries its own saga. Eight broad cradles of civilisation, each with its rivers, its languages, its long centuries — and its figures.

From the Yellow River civilisations and Mandate of Heaven to the Ming dynasties and modern superpower.

Greece, Rome, the Renaissance, Enlightenment and modern Europe — the crucible of Western thought.

The cradle of civilisation — Mesopotamia, Persia, the three Abrahamic faiths, and a region of deep influence.

The Indus Valley, Vedic age, Mauryan and Mughal empires, and a civilisation of extraordinary continuity.

Our origin continent — from Homo sapiens in the Rift Valley to Egypt, Mali, Great Zimbabwe and modern nations.

Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Inca civilisations and the New World shaping modern global history.

The Silk Road heartland — Scythians, Mongols, Timurids and trans-Eurasian connectors.

Khmer, Srivijaya, Majapahit, and a maritime crossroads of Indian, Chinese and Islamic worlds.
