From Nomads to Global Empires

Your entire reality exists because ancient nomads finally decided to settle down and build massive empires.

It started with the Persians and the Zhou Dynasty creating the first real superpowers,

using things like the Mandate of Heaven and organized religion to stay in charge. Then,

the Axial Age completely flipped the script with game-changers like Buddha, Confucius,

and Greek democracy rewriting human thought. Alexander the Great mashed these cultures

together, and the Silk Road finally connected the East to the West.

By the time Rome and Han China rose up, the world was officially globalized.

We are literally just living in the sequel to their history.
