Civilizations and Kingdoms

Albert Schweitzer once said civilization is the sum total of all progress made by man in every sphere of action and from every point of view insofar as the progress helps towards the spiritual perfecting of individuals as the progress of all progress. Simply we can say civilization is a complex society that is characterized by urban development, social stratification, a form of government, and symbolic systems of communication. Our planet has experienced different cultures, governments, races, wars those formed the timeline of its history.
