Which one of the three has the best claim to the greatest ancient civilization of humanity?
Ancient Egypt is the birthplace of civilization. It created the first society and is therefore the most worthy of the title of “Mother of all Society”. It's simply incontrovertible.
>mother
>not father
Begone hijra ape
umm al-dunya
Sumeria is older, though. And "society" is not the correct way of calling it, is pretty much a meaningless term. Any tribal settlement is a "society", and there are countless others older than Egypt.

>of humanity
the only place that somehow affected just about everywhere in world is india, but that'd feel like a wrong answer as others were more important than it overall (middle east for europe through the greek and romans and china for asia; ssa was left mostly untouched with the exception of east africa).

What?
Mesopotamia > Egypt >>> Finland > shit > >>>>>>>>>> ""Harappa""
IVC is a Mesopotamian satellite civilization and I'm tired of pretending it's not
Their architecture, art and writing systems are completely different. Mesopotamians might have taught Harappans on how to build cities, but the rest of them is their own invention. Also, IVC cities by themselves are more organized and advanced than mesopotamian cities.
Egypt and it's not even close
Egypt as we understand it is fairly recent even compared to mesopotamia, 'old kemeth' isnt even considered as 'ancient egypt' since it predates it by a whole era
Who gives a fuck? What autistic way is that to even look at history? Why in fuck would you care, is there a bet? Do they posthumously win a medal or something?
Egypt influenced Greece and Greece inspired literally everything
The desire to quantify is a masculine instinct, you're a tranny so you wouldn't get it
Quantify what anon, what are you quantifying?
It doesn't matter what we're quantifying, it's not about conclusions. you just don't get it. you probably never had friends and spent hours debating what is the best sort of biscuit to have with your afternoon tea. ugh...
So were not actualy talking about history here were trying to have a forced pissing contest
You don't even know the meaning of "quantify" you absolute retard. Calling something better is "qualify".
Egypt / China > Akkad > Sumer > Harappa
Mesopotamia: the original
Egypt: the sequel hailed by many to be better than the original
IV: the Bollywood remake
>best claim to the greatest ancient civilization of humanity?
Egypt if you're basic. The Lapita if you're cultured.
