What Is Civilization? by Gail Jarvis Because he compiled the series in 1969, Sir Kenneth was able to use the pre-multiculturalism meaning of "civilization" – a meaning that allowed scholars "to distinguish that which is life-promoting from that which is life-negating," and to differentiate between degrees of civilization and rank some as superior to others. In 1969, the late Sir Kenneth Clark hosted a series of television programs for the BBC entitled "Civilisation." Clark sought to evaluate a nation’s civilization by an exploration of what he called "the book of their art," as opposed to their words and deeds. In his discussion of opera in the Civilisation series, Sir Kenneth observes: "What is too silly to be said, may be sung." And songs are like that: an uncontrollable burst of spontaneous emotion. www.lewrockwell.com /jarvis/jarvis71.html

World Mysteries - Graham Hancock A global tour of the legends and myths of the world, collating their common threads and scientific evidence to compose a credible theory that an advanced civilization once flourished on earth but was extinguished at the end of the last ice age. In Heaven's Mirror, author Graham Hancock continues the quest to rediscover the hidden legacy of mankind--the revelation that the cultures we refer to as ancient were, in fact, the heirs to a far older forgotten civilization and the inheritors of its archaic, mystical wisdom. It is an odyssey that leads to sunken monuments and hidden chambers--a journey through myth and magic, and astounding archaeological revelations, that forces us to rethink our entire conception of the origins of civilization. www.world-mysteries.com /pex_4.htm

The history of civilization (but not Civilization) is as much a history of decay, abandonment, and degradation as it is of freedom and heroism. www.tcsdaily.com /article.aspx?id=102805B   (1091 words)

Civilisation Civilization, he suggests, is energetic, confident, humane, and compassionate, based on a belief in permanence and in the necessity of self-doubt.

The Aidonia Treasure he decline of the Mycenaean Civilisation began in the 12th century BC after a series of catastrophes, which struck its major centres and caused the collapse of the palace economy; it disappeared around the middle of the 11th century BC after setting the foundation for the "Greek miracle" of the Archaic and Classical periods. Mycenaean Civilisation developed rapidly in the 14th-l3th centuries BC and spread throughout Greece and the Aegean.

Sea Peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The abrupt end of several civilizations in the decades traditionally dated around 1200 BC have caused many ancient historians to hypothesize that the Sea People caused the collapse of the Hittite, Mycenaean and Mittani kingdoms. This theory was recently revived by the archeologist Eberhard Zangger in 2001 (earlier in German) that the Sea Peoples were the early semi-literate city states of the Greek Mycenaean civilisations, who destroyed each other in a disastrous series of conflicts lasting several decades. The city states were semi-literate in the sense that very few individuals could master the complex Syllabary used to write in Linear B and other written forms of the early Greek language, and thus, relatively few documents were produced in daily life to bear witness to the fratricidal nature of the wars. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sea_Peoples   (1150 words)
