Why were the Italics so late to the civilization game? Even the "unfathomably ancient" Etruscans didn't exist before the iron age. There are no known bronze age civilizations on the Italic penninsula, just retarded tribals living in mud huts making mud jars. I feel like the only Europeans that have any history at all are the Celts and the Aegeans since they at least had advanced civilizations prior to the collapse.
>>18056041Celts did not have any particularly advanced civilization. Greece or the Hellenic people specifically did something truly unique with concepts from the East and Egypt. Prior to them only Egypt did anything of note in a western context. Truth is that civilization is an amalgamation, a meme, of mostly stinky brown people. People who had cities, writing, metallurgy yet did not have soap. It's all quite spiritually indian. They scratched the dirt for thousands of years pointlessly until white men gave this alleged species some direction. You're welcome, btw.

>>18056041What if the reason is that the elites that did all the important things in Egypt went to Greece and after that some of them went to Rome and that is the reason Rome was the last one to emerge?
