Survey of the Ancient World
Section 80. Where did mankind first gain civilization? Where
did civilization first arise in Europe? What happened when the
Greeks came in? Where was civilization then preserved? Who
carried it to its highest level ? By whom was it almost destroyed for
the second time? What organization saved it for the second time?
Note. The scene below shows us the condition of Europe at least fifty
thousand years ago, in the Early Stone Age (§§ 6-8), when man began the
long upward climb which carried him through all the ages of developing and
declining civilization which we have been following.
