Impact of Tectonic Activity on Ancient Civilizations: Recurrent
Shakeups, Tenacity, Resilience, and Change observes a remarkable
spatial correspondence of zones of active tectonism (i.e. plate
boundaries in the earth's crust) with the most complex cultures of
antiquity ("great ancient civilizations"), and continues to explore
the meaning of this relationship from a number of independent
angles. Due to resulting site damage, this distribution is
counter-intuitive. Nevertheless, systematic differences between
"tectonic" and "quiescent" cultures show that tectonic activity
corresponded in antiquity with more cultural dynamism. Data of
several independent types support direct cultural influence of
tectonism, including vignettes of the impact of tectonism in
specific ancient cultures. An expectation of change seems to be a
feature such tectonic cultures shared, and led to an acceleration
of development. These dynamics continue though much obscured in the
present day.
