All of them died out to other larger cultures except China, but even then it has extreme influences from the nomads of the north and the jungle people of the south. So much so that there are stereotypes and a noticeable cultural/linguistic divide between northerners and southerners.

Greece isn't listed

Dysgenics. Chinese bugmen seem to handle the negative aspects of civilisation better however, probably because they bred with aliens in the Himalayas. Their civilisations often catastrophically crash instead of slowly dying out, which makes it easier to rise up again

Culturally completely colonized by Arabs, and generally under foreign rule since the Assyrian invasion

Still full of Han Chinese! Though mutted as fuck after many iterations of invasions by northern nomads

For the middle-east, Islam-induced dysgenics
For India, Jeets are just jeets

egypt stopped being relevant a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago man. by the roman period it was just a huge farm to feed the rest of the mediterranean, very few developments were coming out of egypt
mesopotamia got hit by the 1 2 punch of arabs then mongols. the arabs ruined all the complex infrastructure in the conquests and never bothered to figure out how to fix it or pay people that knew what they were doing to fix it. then as they were reconsidering that retardation, the mongols show up and annihilate the region and the arabs conclude the reason the mongols came was because allah was mad at them for not being retarded fundamentalists

>>17997707
You know this pic was made by an indian because it calls it "The Indus-Sarasvati Valley"

There's literally ZERO actual evidence that the Sarasvati River was the one they claim to be, and since it was a tributary of the Indus anyways, there is no reason to call it that way unless you are desperate to tie it vedic myth.

Islam mainly.

Henan, the cradle of Chinese civilization, is known throughout China as a shithole

They all came to be inhabited by brown people who subsequently claimed the greatness of the civilizations who's ruins they lived in. True in the Yucatan as well. China got away a little better because instead of outright brown people they got yellow mongoloid genes.

With the exception of China all others were taken over by Islam which is a regressive ideology that promotes cousin marriage leading to massive inbreeding.

it's because they were *easy* places to survive in thus stifling innovation while also breeding "center of the world" syndrome that makes you underestimate everything.

china is the only one not situated in a desert.

Because it stopped being white.

Modern wastewater treatment is an invention of the late 19th century. Being a shithole was the natural state of civilisation.

Because they were successful purely because rivers fertilized the land which enabled rapid and overwhelming agricultural surplus that could support large civilisations.

Egypt survived the longest because it had basically cheat-mode geography, being surrounded by either water or desert, with a small land-bridge into the rest of the world that could easily be defended. The Nile was also the best river out of the 4 rivers basins because the Nile had an extremely predictable flooding pattern.

The 3 other cultures were eventually overwhelmed by outside invaders. Yes that includes the yellow river civilization because both the Zhou and Qin invaded from the east.

Because being old often means being used up environmentally and geopolitically.
