Yeah they knew that earth revolves around the sun, but they thought the earth was flat and that venus was two separate stars. Greeks were good at philosophy and logic, but not great at science and rather poor at engineering. Once again you get ignorantly and offensively personal. Simple, because what you know is just what is currently flouted as history, just as most of what the world believes because much of history today is not based on proper information. No that was meant to imply that while your part of the world was in the stone age, others were progressing and this by itself is not so bad.
Civilizations have ups and downs.
I dont see my statement as having anything to do with race, while yours explicitly does. Again, you are reading something that is not there. No one said anything European was bad. My statement was simply that the current European version of world history is all messed up having been a legacy of four hundred years of obliterating certain parts of world history. This in no manner inplies that anything else about Europe is bad, in fact, Europe today is a good place, with respect for law and human rights that are not present in many places in the world.
