Natural Syria - Part 1

The Perfect Natural Habitat of Human Invention, The spring of all Creativity, The Mother of all Civilization, the Breast that Fed Humanity with Divine Religions.
This is Syria.
A world of its own that extends back to Prehistoric times, when Life was evolving to impose itself on this Planet, God’s Favorite Creature, MAN, Had set foot on this Natural Habitat to explore the Potentials of Giving.
The Perfect Interaction between Man and Nature, The right response to the challenges of Natural environments whereby The early Syrian Ethnic elements had refused to submit to the obstacles of their environment, Thus taming their Natural Habitat to meet their will for life.
Swamps were turned into Agricultural Land, Trees were utilized to protect fertile Landscapes from heavy winds, Crops were preserved to secure continuity, Sciences were invented to guarantee justice amongst the people, Algebra and Geometry were created to shape property and calculate productivity.
This and much more was the Syrian’s Daily Bread when the world was still struggling for survival, Cannibals were roaming the surfaces of the continents of what is called today the Free world.
Of All Civilizations throughout History, The Syrians are the only People who developed their own Civilization without pre-interaction with other Civilizations.
The Greeks, The Persians, The Egyptians, the Romans and others Played an important role in the development of civilization, yet Syria was the source of their inspiration, not to mention the Syrian Contribution to their civilization Structure.
Just mention it and you shall find the finger prints of the Syrian civilization embedded in our daily lives today.
Legislation, Philosophy, Mathematics, Structures, Mythology, Astronomy, Fashion, Hairdressing, Town Planning, Democracy, ( Yes Democracy ), The alphabets, the Invention of paper, Sailing and ship design and building, Navigation, Agriculture, Music and musical Language ,,,,
Just think of it, Just Name it,,, Random pick, and you’ll find a Syrian Finger print.
I once read this proverb,
Every Human Being has two Homes, His Mother Home and Syria.
Which provoked me to dig into the Origins of all the above, and the more I dug, the deeper I got involved in the beauty of Life, and stronger became my appreciation for its Values and Qualities.
I am proud to be a Syrian from Natural Syria.
(My next post will address some of many of the Syrian Civilization achievements)
