J﻿oin us for a Zoom talk with Dr. James Rietveld "First Civilizations from Paleolithic to Neolithic: An Archaeological Investigation" Jan 26

J﻿oin us for a Zoom talk with Dr. James Rietveld "The First Civilizations From the PALEOLITHIC Into the NEOLITHIC Era: An ARCHAEOLOGICAL Investigation In the World’s Earliest Societies- Cultural &amp; Religious Beliefs" on Thursday, January 26, 8 p.m.P﻿ay What You Wish: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/496763542127By definition, a complex society is considered to be a civilization, often, but not always, involve populated settlements that are stratified into hierarchical social classes and overseen usually by a ruling elite; have some form of territories that include rural areas; connected to pursuits in agriculture, manufacturing, and trade; defined by religious beliefs and cultural value; and weld an organizing power over humans as well as dominating the natural environment around them for their own needs. So what were the earliest civilizations? We will often say Mesopotamia or Egypt around 3000 BCE. But archaeology has revealed far earlier civilizations, going back at least 7000 years earlier if not more. So many of the components of the Neolithic Revolution around 10,000 BCE already reveal civilizing forces at work. By definition, the Natufians of the Levant from 13,000 to 11,000 BCE, those that built Gobekli Tepe in Turkey around 9,130 BCE, the Pengtoushan culture of China from 7,500 BCE, and those of Çatalhöyü k around 6500 BCE are all understood as civilizations. And, the question must be asked, were there still older civilizations? What can archaeology do to illuminate this most ancient past and how does it change our entire understanding of the human race in general, of who we understand ourselves to be. We will both dig deep into the soil as well as deep into the nature of who we are!You will not wish to miss this talk!!!Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton &amp; Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of 2 books &amp; can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."
