    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.

      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).

      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 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

          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...

            You don't even know the meaning of "quantify" you absolute moron. Calling something better is "qualify".

    Egypt if you're basic. The Lapita if you're cultured.
