>brutal siberian winters
>frequent cataclysmic and entirely random floods
Why did changs choose the absolute worst spot on this planet to start a civilization? What advantage does this confer? Why not move south to mekong?
>>
Fertile loess soils and regular flooding of major rivers which replenishes topsoil loss with fertile silt.
Basically Egypt but with better farmland.

>Basically Egypt but with better farmland.
Egypt didn't have random horrific city destroying floods or -50C winters.
>>
>>18602553
Did you actually check what the climate was like back then? I don't know that you're wrong but you might be.
>>
what were they supposed to do, march halfways across the planet? just because most people were mobile doesn't mean they did it because they wanted to. most of the time if they could afford to they stayed in place
>>
>>18602571
Aight at Wei River, temps were like -8C but still, this is far worse than Egypt or the rest which never went below 0, 9000 years ago.

eh it wasnt that bad
>>
>>18602582
Finding a place no one else wants because they're afraid of a little bit of snow is an advantage in and of itself, so long as you can figure out how to thrive there.
>>
>>18602598
Does that mean they were cucks who lost and were forced into shitty lands?
>>
>>18602601
I don't know. I'm just listing it as a pro.
>>
>>18602582
Experiencing negative degrees during winter is a free pesticide, it's not that terrible as you might imagine.
>>
>>18603378
What about when all the plants die and youve nothing to feed yourself or your livestock
>>
Don't forget it's also the birth place of all deadly diseases.
>>
>>18602569
>random horrific city destroying floods
Build a wall.
>-50C winters
Wear a coat.
>>
>>18603755
>Build a wall
The flood are dozens of meters high and youre situated in easily floodable valleys and plains
>>
>>18602569
But they got 40c summer without AC
>>
>>18604003
I think 40C is preferable to staying by a river dubbed "China's sorrow"
>>
>>18602601
In a sense, we're all cucks who got kicked out of Africa. You can't turn back because whoever remained is well-established.

>>18602553
A jungle is worse for growing enough food to develop a large society.

You mean some of the most abundant farmland on the planet? Gee whizz, it's a mystery.

>Entire civilization wiped out by flood once every 2 to 3 years
>>
>>18603738
You preserve them and put them in a silo, tard.
>>
>>18604307
What happens when the silo is washed away by the river in a flood alongside entire forests and fields?
>>
>>18604204
Peasants do float, you know.
>>
>>18604383
Humans don't float. How do you think drowning occurs?
