Civilization 2.7 - From Babylon to China

http://www.drdavidneiman.com. Part 7 of "Cradles of Civilization: Lecture 2". Dr. Neiman shows the connection between Sumer, Babylon and the development of Chinese civilization.

Dr. David Neiman (1921-2004) was an internationally renowned scholar, speaker, and writer who inspired many people. His life's work concerned the intricate relations between Christianity, Islam, and Judaism throughout history and in modern times. Dr. Neiman made history come alive through his dramatic presentations and unique interpretations. In light of our current world situation, Dr. Neiman's work is not only extremely relevant but also remarkably prescient. More than anything, Dr. Neiman was a keen observer of the human condition. His words convey our shared history with clarity, humor, and humanity.

Dr. Neiman was the first Jewish scholar appointed to teach Religion at Boston College, one of America's leading Catholic Universities. He served as Professor in the Department of Theology for a quarter of a century. While there he was also invited to teach at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. After retiring from Boston College, Dr.Neiman moved to Los Angeles, where he taught at Loyola Marymount University, St. John' s Seminary in Camarillo and the University of Judaism in Bel Air.

Signs carved into 8,600-year-old tortoise shells found in China may be the earliest written words, say archaeologists, this was discovered in 2003. The guy in this video died in 2000, shame it would have been nice to see him proven wrong.

@ImaginedWriter By the way, he died in 2004, not 2000.

[anosh88]

@ImaginedWriter Yes but they were not organized into a systematic language and they might have been a few pictographs. What the professor is saying is that the earliest written LANGUAGE was first developed independently in Sumer. The scientists who found these bones are not even sure they are even a form of writing.
