Why Mighty
Nations Of Antiquity Perished?
It is known that some ancient nations
disappeared. The ancient Greek nation came to end. Egyptian
civilization similarly disappeared. Babylonian and Syrian
civilizations are a matter of history. Cynthia's perished. Was there
ever a time when the citizens of those nations stopped living
together? It was only the fact that there were wide differences
among people that let to the downfall of these nations. The Greece
in the past produced Alexander and Heredotes. Ulysis and Aristotle,
Socrates and Plato and the present day Greece is inhabited by people
of the same hereditary stock. There was no interruption in their
heredity, because there never was a time when the whole of Greece
was devoid of human population and when a new race inhabited that
country. Such a thing never happened. Father and son tradition of
old Greece was never interrupted. It is possible to trace the
ancestry of present day Greeks to the old Greeks, some 250 to 500
generation back. Despite all the old Greek Nation is non-existent.
So also the old Egyptian Nation Is no longer there. New nations have
arisen in those places. How did this happen? This simple fact is
indisputable, that nations do not come into existence by a mere co
habitation. There was never a time in the lives of the citizens of
these decadent nations, when they stopped living in a group. On the
other hand Israeli Jews lived for centuries with other peoples
scattered far and wide, yet they did not get annihilated in the
societies in which they lived because of cohabitation. It is clear
therefore that the source of national feeling is not in staying on a
particular piece of land, but is in something etc.
