1. Twelve-thousand years ago, they invented irrigated farming. They got to be so good at it that, today, they can still produce all the food they need even when"sanctions" are imposed.

2. They invented writing.

3. They figured out how to tell time.

4. They founded modern mathematics.

5. In the Code of Hammurabi, they invented the first legal system that protects the weak, the widow and the orphan.

6. Five-thousand years ago, they had philosophers who attempted to list every known thing in the world.

7. They were using Pythagoras' theorem 1,700 years before Pythagoras.

8. They invented artificial building materials, some kind of pre-fab-crete stuff used to construct high-rise towers.

9. Ur, in southeast Iraq, is assumed to be the place we're all descended from.

10. They were the first people to build cities and live in them.

11. For thousands of years, they wrote the greatest poetry, history and"sagas" in the world.

12. Because they were great horse breeders, they invented the cavalry in war.

13. The Iraq Museum in Baghdad contains some of the most outstanding stone, metal and clay sculptures and inscriptions created in the history of the world. Some of them are more than 7,000 years old. If a bomb hits this place, art lovers around the world will go into mourning.

14. The first school for astronomers was established by Iraqis. This is how the"wise men" got to be so wise. They knew how to follow the star.

15. Beginning around 800 A.D., the Iraqis founded universities that imported teachers from throughout the civilized world to teach medicine, mathematics, philosophy, theology, literature and poetry.

16. For the first 1,200 years of its existence, Baghdad was regarded as one of the most refined, civilized and festive cities in the world.

17. Abraham, the father of Israel, was from Iraq.

18. Abraham, the father of Islam, was from Iraq.

19. Abraham, the father and"model" of Christian faith, was from Iraq.

-->BTW stimmt es aber IMHO nicht, dass wir alle aus Ur stammen. Wenn überhaupt, dann war das bestenfalls eine bedeutende Zwischenstation. Der Stand der Wissenschaft ist meines Wissens, dass die Wiege der Menschheit in Afrika liegt.

-->waren das noch die, die sich mit der Keule gegenseitig den Schädel einschlugen (fast auf eine Ebene zu stellen mit denen, die heute von Alaska bis Florida und von Massachusetts bis Hawaii auf ihr Waffenrecht pochen)
... an sinnvolle Kultur und Technik, gespickt mit humanistischem Gedankengut war da längst noch nicht zu denken...

-->>... an sinnvolle Kultur und Technik, gespickt mit humanistischem Gedankengut war da längst noch nicht zu denken...

Das ist richtig. Also Afrika als Wiege der Menschheit, und Ur als Wiege der Zivilisation?

-->... jupp, dem würde ich so zustimmen:-)

Ich möchte nur gern was Verzwicktes hinzufügen: In diesen Gebieten der frühen Hochkulturen und besonders erkennbar an Hand der filigranen und teilweise exakten und für unsere Vorstellungen hochkomplexen Architektur müssen sich in den letzten 1.000 Jahren beim Menschen dramatische Bewußtseinsveränderungen vollzogen haben, die wir uns nicht vorstellen können. Ich habe z. B. Tempel in Indien gesehen (buddh. + hinduist. + jainistische --- z.B. Ajanta, Ellora, Viyajanagar) die vor Perfektion, Ausdauer der Bauleute/Architekten und gigantischer Filigranität nur so strotzten und von den heute dort lebenden Indern sehr oft in entwürdigender Weise dem Verfall preisgegeben werden - schlichtweg: innen stinkts wie in einer Ammoniak herstellenden Fabrik, weil die Inder (ich will jetztz nicht alle über einen Kamm scheren) in jede gut versteckte Tempel-Ecke ihre Stange Wasser stellen oder ihren Neger abseilen.
