very good graphic, thank you. may I recommend a book on the subject of civilizations and their genesis? Arnold Toynbee's 'The Course of World History'. In this work he lays out the rise and fall of the 24 relevant civilizations the world has seen so far. I think it's an interesting in-depth look at the dynamics of civilizations.
