Lessons from history

The book Civilizations are buried under the sands only because of insufficient rainfall as happened in Central Asia, or submerged in forests if heavy rains fell as happened in Central America. Our thriving region will regress and return to a state of primitiveness and laziness if the temperature rises twenty degrees. In a semi-tropical climate, a nation of half a million people can multiply like ants, but its lazy-driving atmosphere may make it susceptible to repeated occupation by warriors from other environments that are more stimulating and inviting to activity. Generations may be able to establish control over the land, but ultimately they are doomed to turn into fossils beneath its surface.
