East leap

The East was the cradle of man, where its first groups appeared, and in its fertile valleys arose primitive civilizations that man strove to win, and for which he fought with forest beasts, water and air microbes, and parasites, and struggled with the natural elements and the forces of different climates, until in the end he was able to gain strength over them all. He inherits the earth and those on it, and builds these wondrous civilizations, one after the other, as if they were in the shadows of history, ghosts returning from the jinn or titans of the imagination, fighting on the horizon of human narratives, the struggle of vultures bitten by hunger, or seized by the wrath of selfishness. It appears as if it were on a war field, alternating with victory at times and defeat at other times. Between this and that, you see civilizations gradually emerging and emerging on the human stage, and then you soon see them collapsing and their supports being undermined, as if they were crumbling walls, with a powerful, strong-armed ax placed at their foundations. Do you think that any other part of the globe was an arena for such a conflict? Was anything other than the East a scene for the victory and dedication of these forces? Was anything other than the East the cradle of the first human groups?
