Asia is the birthplace of human civilization. Forefathers of Asian lived and multiplied in the vast land a long time ago. Since the Neolithic Age, the Mesopotamia region in the so-called Entre-Deux-Mers which located in the middle or lower reaches of the Tigris River and the Euphrates River of West Asia, the Indus and Ganges Region of South Asia and the valley of Yellow River and Yangtze River of East Asia were the cradled of human civilization. All global regions were born in Asia including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism. Before the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, as the world economic center was in Asia, most of human scientific, technologic, literature and artistic achievement were produced in Asia. Asian civilization, especially Chinese, Arabic and Indian culture have a huge impact on world civilization.
