农民的祖先并不是农民， 后来人们忘记了这个事实。
The ancestors of farmers were not farmers; later, people forgot this fact.
读者可以再去观察另外一处遗迹， 同样记录了农业来临时的情况。 哥贝克力石阵在纳图芬人的北边大约800公里， 今天是土耳其东部， 在一万年前， 人们建造了这个石阵， Göbekli Tepe。
Readers can also observe another ruin site, which similarly records the situation when agriculture arrived. Göbekli Tepe is about 800 kilometers north of Natufian territory, today located in eastern Turkey. People built this megalithic site ten thousand years ago.
巨石阵位于尚勒乌尔法市 (Şanlıurfa) 东北十公里， 距离幼发拉第河约80 公里的位置。 建造者是以采集狩猎为生的采猎部落。 经鉴定， 遗迹至少有 一万二千年的历史， 比埃及金字塔还要早七千年。 这不是农民的杰作。此时此地， 农业尚未来临。
Stonehenge is located about 10 kilometers northeast of Şanlıurfa city, at a distance of approximately 80 kilometers from the Euphrates River. The builders were nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes. Archaeological鉴定 shows that the site is at least 12,000 years old, which predates the Egyptian pyramids by about 7,000 years. It was not built by farmers. Agriculture had yet to arrive in this time and place.
在长达 600米的缓坡上， 200 多个 T 形大石柱排列成为 20 多个圆环， 圆环由石墙垒成。 而石柱高达 6米， 重愈 20吨， 底部嵌在石槽里。 柱上有生动的浮雕， 如狮子、公牛、狐狸、天鹅、蛇、 蜘蛛、蝎子等， 还有豹子的立体雕刻。 周围挖掘出成堆的骨头， 属于野猪、红鹿、羊、羚羊。
On a gently sloping area of sixty meters, over two hundred T-shaped stone pillars are arranged into more than twenty circles, surrounded by walls. The pillars reach up to six meters high and weigh over twenty tons, embedded in stone slots. There are vivid reliefs on the columns such as lions, bulls, foxes, swans, snakes, spiders, scorpions, and even立体雕刻的野豹。周围的挖掘堆满了骨头， 属于野猪、红鹿、绵羊和羚羊。
T 形石柱上有几何化的人形浮刻。
The geometricized human figures are carved in relief on the T-shaped stone pillar.
可能一万多年前这就是圣坛。另一些人也许会称之为图腾。 采猎部落聚集到 这里的时候， 会有相应仪式举行， 人们会一起祈祷或者膜拜。
This might have been a sanctuary ten thousand years ago. Some others might call it totemic. When hunting and gathering tribes gathered here, there would be相应的仪式 held, with people praying or worshipping together.
还没有发现有人长期居住留下的痕迹， 就是说， 巨石阵专门用于类似于宗教的仪式。
No traces of long-term residence have been found, which means that Stonehenge was specifically used for rituals similar to religious ceremonies.
难以想像崇拜公牛的部落和崇拜狐狸的部落如何交流。 而修建石阵的方法更是神奇， 对现代社会的工程师来说也是很高的挑战。
It's hard to imagine how tribes that worship bulls and tribes that worship foxes would communicate with each other. And the methods used to build the stone circles are amazing, presenting a high challenge even for modern engineers.
附近是绵延的安那托力亚平原， 后来这里也成为农业的发源地之一，
Nearby lies the extensive Anatolian Plain, which later became one of the origins of agriculture.
世界上第一批饲养的猪只就离哥贝克力山丘60哩处， 最早的小麦、裸麦、燕麦也都在这一带种植。
The first pigs were domesticated about 60 miles from Göbekli Tepe, and the earliest wheat, barley, and oats were also grown in this area.
遗迹有超过二千年的建筑历史，巨石遗迹挖掘的难度很大。
当年的建筑师 是流浪在山野的猎人， 不同的部落需要配合在一起工作。
经计算， 最大的石头需要五百人的力量才能竖立起来，
而设计和雕刻的工作需要艺术家的脑袋。
The ruins have a construction history of over two thousand years, and the excavation of megalithic remains is challenging. The architects of old were wandering hunters in the mountains and valleys, and different tribes needed to work together. Calculations show that the largest stones required the effort of five hundred people just to upright them, while the design and carving work necessitated the minds of artists.
这些脑袋是奇怪的， 已经远远超越了猩猩的抽象思维能力。 他们需要想好如何把图案刻在石头上， 几天后出现的图案可能和几天前想到的不同。 但是我们可以假设， 他们没有想到要擦除工作中留下的一切痕迹， 从而让后人无法理解这里发生的一切。因此我们可以研究他们的行为， 从而猜测他们的想法。
These brains are strange, far exceeding the abstract thinking abilities of chimpanzees.
They need to decide how to刻在石头上，几天后出现的图案可能和几天前想到的不同。但是我们可以假设，他们没有想到要擦除工作中留下的一切痕迹，从而让后人无法理解这里发生的一切。因此我们可以研究他们的行为，从而猜测他们的想法。
The patterns they carve on stones may differ from those planned a few days earlier. However, we can assume that they did not think to erase all traces of their work, thereby preventing future generations from understanding what happened here. Therefore, we can study their behavior to guess their thoughts.
超过五米的 T 形石柱是从整块岩体中凿出来的， 再拖运到几百米外。每隔几百年， 会有圣坛被填埋， 在上面建造新的圣坛。
T-shaped stone pillars over five meters tall were carved from a single rock mass and then dragged several hundred meters to their location. Every few centuries, a sanctuary would be buried on top, only to have a new one built above it.
这些行为的发现让现代人困惑。 当初在修建巨石阵时， 很明显人们必须进行大量沟通才能配合劳动， 然而他们使用的语言消弥在时空中了， 我们暂时也无法了解。
The discovery of these behaviors confounds modern people. Clearly, a great deal of communication was necessary for the coordinated labor when constructing Stonehenge, but the language they used has vanished with time and space, leaving us unable to understand at present.
语言的起源是神秘的课题。 1866年巴黎语言学会禁止讨论任何语言起源， 因为没有证据显示这样的辩论有什么意义。
The origin of language is a mysterious topic.
In 1866, the Paris Linguistic Society banned discussions on any language origins,
as there was no evidence to suggest that such debates were meaningful.
不使用语言完成这样的工程是不可能的：在千百年的时间里， 巨大的石头被一群群人竖立起来， 再埋葬下去， 然后， 再竖立新的石头。
It is impossible to accomplish such an engineering feat without the use of language: over thousands of years, huge stones were raised and buried by groups of people, only to have new stones raised again.
(语言在人类的进化过程中的作用无法低估， 而集权金字塔上的猩猩们也因此全力以赴的消灭人类的语言， 秦始皇的金字塔上现在的统治者，中共，同样在努力消灭中文中的人性。)
The role of language in human evolution cannot be underestimated, and the primates at the top of the centralized pyramid are thus desperately working to eliminate human language. The rulers on Qin Shi Huang's pyramid, the Communist Party, are similarly making efforts to eradicate humanity's nature from Chinese.
随着年代接近， 圣坛的规模越来越小， 石柱越来越低。 这是向农业转移的年代， 附近的地区出现了越来越多的农田。
As time approached, the altar became smaller in scale, and the pillars grew shorter. This was the age of transition to agriculture; more and more farmland appeared in nearby areas.
气候变化让土地开始干旱， 动植物数量减少。 当时采集打猎的人们难以找到足够的食物， 为了生存有两种方法。 一种是种植植物， 播种浇灌。 另一种是放牧， 不断将羊群带到水草茂密的地方， 让它们活着作为长期的肉食和皮毛来源。 农牧业都是这一个时期出现的。
Climate change caused the land to start drying out, leading to a decrease in the number of plants and animals. At that time, foraging and hunting people found it difficult to find enough food. To survive, there were two methods. One was planting crops and watering them. The other was pastoralism, continuously moving flocks to places with lush grasses and water, letting them live as a long-term source of meat and fur. Agronomy and pastoralism both emerged during this period.
农业化包含两个方面：农业和牧业。 耕种植物和养殖动物都是农业劳动。 但是农业和牧业的区别成为后来人类战争的一个重要的来源， 当农民想要驱赶牧民， 或者牧民想要洗劫农民的时候， 他们不用去军事学院学习就知道自己应该如何战争。 农业和牧业只是又一个战争的理由。
Agriculture includes two aspects: agriculture and pastoralism.
Plant cultivation and animal husbandry are both forms of agricultural labor.
However, the distinction between agriculture and pastoralism became an important source of human warfare later on.
When farmers wanted to drive away herdsmen, or when herdsmen wanted to raid farmers,
they did not need military academies to know how to wage war.
Agriculture and pastoralism were just another reason for conflict.
牧羊人的真实身份是：领头羊。
The shepherd's true identity is: the leader sheep.
人们先是跟随羊群， 然后把头羊杀掉， 自己做为头羊。
People first followed the sheep, then killed the lead sheep and took its place as the leader.
农民倾向于生育更多孩子。对刚进化为牧民的人们来说， 带着初生的孩子追逐羊群是很困难的事情。 因此有时候牧民把孩子和小羊小狗一起留给农民。 总的来说 ， 渡过气候灾难后， 人口并没有减少多少。农业化经历了几千年， 有无数的轮回发生。一旦进入农业社会， 就很难离开对农业的依赖。 农业必须发生在合适的气候、海拔和纬度环境， 自然条件决定了农业传播的范围， 这就是在欧亚大陆。
Farmers tend to have more children. For recently settled herders, it is difficult to herd sheep with newborns. Thus, sometimes herders leave their children and small lambs and puppies with farmers. Overall, after passing through climatic disasters, the population does not decrease much. Agriculture underwent thousands of years, with countless cycles. Once entering an agricultural society, it is hard to摆脱对农业的依赖。 农业必须发生在合适的气候、海拔和纬度环境， 自然条件决定了农业传播的范围，这就在欧亚大陆。
越来越少的部落营火， 越来越多的村落灯火， 人类逐渐进入了农业社会。
Fewer campfires around, more village lights; humans gradually entered an agricultural society.
在公元前8000年， 世界人口估计为5百万。 人口与环境也许是两个迫使人类进入农牧业的主要因素。其中， 人口一直在增加。农牧业是一种奖赏， 当人类走到食物链的顶端， 登上冠军领奖台时， 奖品就是农牧业和国家的出现。
In about 8000 BCE, the world population is estimated to have been around 5 million. Population growth and environmental factors may have been two main forces that drove humans into agriculture and pastoralism. Among these, the population was continually increasing. Agriculture and pastoralism were rewards when humans rose to the top of the food chain, standing on the winners' podium, with the prize being the emergence of agriculture, pastoralism, and states.
自由的流浪将成为农民的梦想。
Free roaming will become the dream of farmers.
在以后的数千年里， 农业和牧业成为食物的主要来源。 人口继续增加， 文字被发明， 宗教传播， 最重要的是国家出现了。
In the following millennia, agriculture and pastoralism became the main sources of food.
The population continued to increase, writing was invented, religions spread, most importantly, states emerged.
它们是一种人类没有见过的野兽。 然而，当人类展示出走过五大洲漂过四大洋的能力之后， 这种野兽就出现了。
The ancestors of farmers were not farmers; later, people forgot this fact.
人类不战胜野兽， 就无法走出非洲。 那么走出非洲之后最大的野兽是什么？ 古人早就告诉我们了：苛政猛于虎也。
Humans cannot leave Africa without defeating beasts. So, what is the biggest beast after leaving Africa? Ancients have told us: oppression is more fearsome than tigers.
在国家出现之前，我希望给杀人如麻的所谓爱国者们提前讲述一个事实： 你们爱的那种东西真的是一种畜生，你们的祖先难道不是人类？ 为什么把天生地造无可改变的畜生做为你们的祖先？
Before the emergence of the nation, I wish to tell those so-called patriots who commit mass murders an unpleasant fact: The thing you love is truly a beast. Were your ancestors not humans? Why make a naturally born and unchangeable beast your ancestor?
人类的群聚规模超过部落后，有几种政治模式： 无政府、民主政治、寡头政治、个人独裁。 在走出非洲后的东、西两个方向上人们将构建不同的社会结构， 东方倾向于寡头统治或者独裁， 西方更多民主和议会式。
When human settlements surpassed the size of tribes, several political models emerged: anarchy, democracy, oligarchy, and autocracy. After leaving Africa, societies in the eastern and western directions would construct different social structures, with the East tending towards oligarchic or autocratic rule, while the West leaned more towards democracy and parliamentary systems.
现在我们还在史前的巨石阵中， 巨石上浮刻了神秘的图案，这不是国家做的，这是人的作品。 白云投影在草原与山谷间， 部落人群仍然以采集植物、围猎动物做为生存方式。 农业还没有来临， 走出非洲至今， 文字还没有被发明， 然而命运已经注定， 进化后的人类将被土地束缚、 被国家捕捉， 农业革命会降临， 气候和人口牵引的命运大潮已经出现在地平线上。
T-shaped pillars have geometric human figures carved into them.
我们穿越时空的速度也已经减速为万年和千年， 人类进化的重点从生理的变化转变为人群结构的变化。 部落、村落、城市、国家， 形成越来越大的人口组织规模。
We have slowed our pace of time travel to centuries and millennia, with the focus of human evolution shifting from physical changes to changes in population structure. Tribes, villages, cities, and countries are forming increasingly larger scales of population organizations.
在中亚地区，巨石阵附近有两条河流， 处于波斯湾和地中海之间。 这两条河就是幼发拉底河和底格里斯河。 “美索不达米亚”， Mesopotamia， 是古希腊对两河流域的称谓， 意为“两条河流之间的地方”。 这两条河在中下游大致平行的流入波斯湾， 由西北流向东南， 后来河道变迁， 干脆合流入海了。
There is no evidence of long-term habitation, meaning that Stonehenge was used specifically for religious ceremonies.
美索不达米亚地区（两河之间）基本由沙漠、 山峦和大海环绕而成；其西边是叙利亚沙漠， 北部是土耳其的托罗斯山脉， 东部是伊朗的扎格罗斯山脉， 南边滨临波斯湾。幼发拉底河和底格里斯河分别发源于叙利亚东部和 土耳其北部的山脉和高地中， 随后几乎平行地向南流入波斯湾， 沿两岸形成冲积平原。 两河入海口冲积形成更多陆地， 幼发拉底河和底格里斯河逐渐汇聚在一起， 成为今天的阿拉伯河后流入波斯湾。 这两条河流每年的犯滥， 使得下游土壤肥沃， 富含有机物和矿物质，
It's hard to imagine how tribes worshipping bulls communicated with those worshipping foxes. The construction methods were also impressive; they would be a challenge even for modern engineers.
“苏美尔”就在美索不大米亚的南部， 这里土地肥沃， 适合开展农业。
"Sumer" is located in the southern part of Mesopotamia, where the land is fertile and suitable for agriculture.
农牧业包括培育植物、动物、菌类等等， 获得食物、纤维、燃料、药用材料等等， 农牧业简称农业， 英文是：Agriculture。
Agriculture includes cultivating plants, animals, fungi, etc., to obtain food, fibers, fuels, medicinal materials, etc. Agriculture, abbreviated as agronomy, is referred to in English as Agriculture.
史前人类开始农业化时， 必须要有合适的农作物品种， 当时没有基因研究所， 基因变异的工程却完成了。 至少， 在大约一万年前， 莱文特地区的谷类植物发生了基因突变。 当时野生的谷类颗粒小、易脱落， 不易采 集。 而后来出现的谷类颗粒大、结实而容易采集。
Agriculture involves cultivating plants, animals, fungi, etc., to obtain food, fibers, fuels, medicinal materials, etc. Agriculture is abbreviated as farming.
In English: Agriculture
一种近似于玩笑的猜想在学术上可能是相当准确的： 这种基因变化是外星人搞的， 他们没有想到人类后来学会了测试基因， 因此一些现代学者就推论那些在神话中教育人们培育农作物的“神农”先生们可能是外星人寄宿在人类肉体中。
A joke-like conjecture, which might be surprisingly accurate from an academic perspective: This genetic change was caused by extraterrestrials; they didn't anticipate that humans would later learn to test genes. Thus, some modern scholars have inferred that the "Sage of Agriculture," who taught people how to cultivate crops in myths, might have been extraterrestrial entities inhabiting human bodies.
农业文明可能产生于地球上的至少11个地区。 在美索不 达米亚地区， Mesopotamia， 15千年前， 猪被驯服 ， 约11 到13千年前， 羊被驯服。 也是在地中海旁边肥沃的弦月区域， 大约11500年前， 出现了新石器时代八大作物：二粒小麦， emmer wheat; 一粒小麦， einkorn wheat; 大麦， hulled barley; 豌豆， peas; 扁豆， lentils; 苦野豌豆， bitter vetch; 鹰嘴豆， chick peas; 亚麻， flax。
Agricultural civilization may have originated in at least eleven regions on Earth. In Mesopotamia, around 15 thousand years ago, pigs were domesticated; around 11-13 thousand years ago, sheep were domesticated. Similarly, in the Fertile Crescent adjacent to the Mediterranean, around 11500 years ago, eight major crops of the Neolithic era appeared: two-row wheat, emmer wheat; one-row wheat, einkorn wheat; barley, hulled barley; peas, lentils; bitter vetch, chick peas; flax.
8200年到13千年前， 中国人开始种植大米。之后， 有绿 豆、大豆和赤豆类， Mung, soy, azuki beans。
Chinese began planting rice around 8200 years ago. Later came green beans and soybeans.
现在的土耳其和巴勒斯坦地区， 大约10,500年前， 野牛 被驯服。在南美， 安第斯山脉附近， 7000至1万年前人们 开始种植土豆， 豌豆， 可可， （ potato, bean, coca）; 同时养殖羊驼、美洲驼、豚鼠类 （llamas, alpacas, guinea pigs）。 大约9000年前， 新几内亚（New Guinea ）人们 种植甘蔗和 其它根茎植物。7000年前， 撒哈尔地 区（Sahel） 非洲人种植 高粱（sorghum）。 6000年前， 中美洲种植玉米。 5600年前， 秘鲁人种植棉花。
The regions of modern Turkey and Palestine, about 10,500 years ago, cattle were domesticated. In South America, near the Andes Mountains, around 7,000 to 10,000 years ago, people began cultivating potatoes, beans, coca (potatoes, beans, coca); at the same time, llamas, alpacas, and guinea pigs were being raised for farming. Around 9,000 years ago, in New Guinea, people started growing sugarcane and other root crops. By 7,000 years ago, in the Sahel region of Africa, people had begun cultivating sorghum. Corn was cultivated around 6,000 years ago in Central America. By 5,600 years ago, in Peru, cotton was being grown.
农业需要连续的辛苦劳动， 可以提供更多数量的食物， 却只有较少的品种。 相比游荡着狩猎和采集的人群， 纯农民常常吃饱后仍然营养不良。 他们被束缚在土地上， 定居在聚居区， 为强盗提供明显的抢劫目标， 不可避免的成为未来的统治者收税的对象。
Agriculture requires continuous hard labor to produce more food in quantity, but with fewer varieties. Unlike nomadic hunting and gathering groups, pure farmers often become malnourished despite having enough to eat. They are bound to the land, settled in settlements, providing obvious targets for robbers, and inevitably subject to taxation by future rulers.
通常认为农业化是人类史中巨大的进步， 请允许我们从不同的角度来观察这一事件。 进入农业时， 按照生产工具的划分， 人类已经处于新石器时代。 正是气候剧变的时候。 撒哈拉沙漠扩展， 中东干旱化， 当时人们四处流浪寻找适合的生存环境。 因此从当时两河流域， 有人向欧洲移动， 也有返回非洲方向的人口移动。
It is commonly believed that the advent of agriculture was a huge progress in human history, let us examine this event from a different perspective. As humans entered the agricultural era, according to the division of production tools, they were already in the Neolithic Age. It was also a time of significant climate change. The Sahara Desert expanded, the Middle East dried out, and people wandered around seeking suitable environments for survival. Therefore, during this period, some moved from the Fertile Crescent to Europe, while others moved back towards Africa.
从这两河流域， 沿地中海东岸， 走到埃及尼罗河， 中间这一片土地当时非常肥沃。
From these two river valleys, along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, to the Nile River in Egypt, the land in between was very fertile at that time.
农业促使人们聚居， 农田需要靠近水源， 这使农民自然的形成村落。 聚居在一起也更容易获得种子和农业工具。 更多的人口意味着更多的收获， 相比游猎 ， 定居时容易养育孩子。 农民倾向于生更多孩子， 让他们去田里劳动。
Agriculture prompted people to settle, with farmland needing to be close to water sources, naturally leading farmers to form villages.
Living together also made it easier to obtain seeds and agricultural tools.
A larger population meant more harvests, making settled life easier for raising children compared to hunting and gathering.
Farmers tended to have more children, who could work in the fields.
几千年农业化的经历， 人口继续上升。我们不知道这个时候的所有细节， 但是大致是这样的。 最为重要的一件事是：文字！
Decades of agricultural experience have led to a continuously rising population. We don't know all the details at this stage, but it was roughly like this. The most important thing was: writing!
在人口聚集后产生了文字， 公元前3500年左右的苏美尔人发明楔形文字， Cuneiform。 这是最早的文字书写记录， 是一种象形文字。 埃及象形文字较楔形文字稍晚（前3000年左右）出现。 世界上最早的字母文字则是公元前1000 年左右的腓尼基字母。 现在广为使用的拉丁字母来源于希腊字母， 而后者来源于腓尼基字母， 而后者有苏美尔文字的变形和进化。
After populations gathered, writing emerged. The Sumerians invented cuneiform around 3500 BCE, which is the earliest written record and an ideographic script. Egyptian hieroglyphs appeared slightly later than cuneiform (around 3000 BCE). The world's first alphabet was the Phoenician alphabet, which emerged around 1000 BCE. The Latin alphabet widely used today originated from Greek letters, which in turn derived from Phoenician letters, which had evolved and transformed from Sumerian scripts.
为什么欧亚大陆更早进入农业文明， 其它的大陆在农业化的过程中却落后？
Why did the Eurasian continent enter agricultural civilization earlier, while other continents lagged behind in the process of agriculturalization?
原因很多， 其中之一是农业对气候和地理的依赖， 早期的农村可能因为各种原因荒废， 农业技术可能因为各种原因消失， 保留技术的方法是复制。 只有欧亚大陆可以提供这样的条件， 在同一纬度有广阔的土地提供类似的气候、水土， 这是生长同类物种的复制环境。 广阔的大陆面积使得农业植物在同纬度传播， 从而得到保存和发展。
There are many reasons, one of which is the dependence of agriculture on climate and geography. Early rural areas might have been abandoned for various reasons, and agricultural technology could have disappeared due to various factors. The method of preserving technology was through replication. Only Eurasia could provide such conditions—vast lands at the same latitude offering similar climates and soil, creating an environment conducive to the growth of similar species. The vast continental area facilitated the spread of agricultural plants at the same latitude, thus ensuring their preservation and development.
因此， 欧亚大陆率先进入农业化的结果早已经被大陆结构决定， 然后再被气候变化推动。大海与大陆是人类演化次序中非常重要的因素。
Therefore, the early entry of the Eurasian continent into agriculturalization was determined by the structure of the continent and then driven by climate change. The sea and land are very important factors in the sequence of human evolution.
在逃出非洲后直到农业出现前夕， 人们已经走到了每一块大陆。 这时候， 气候与人口改变迫使人类改变。 而农业物种和畜牧业牲畜物种巧合的出现了， 不管人类是否发明了大麦小麦羊群牛群还是发明了整个农业， 他们都 已经完成了一个壮举：走遍全世界。
After escaping Africa and before the advent of agriculture, humans had reached every continent. By then, climate and population changes forced humans to adapt. And coincidentally, agricultural species and livestock species appeared, whether or not humans invented barley, wheat, flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, or the entirety of agriculture, they had already accomplished a feat: traversing the entire world.
在走向地平线的过程中， 没有一只野兽能够阻挡人类。
As we approach the horizon, no beast can halt humanity.
然而这个时候， 另外一种野兽追来了， 它们就是国家， 它们将尾随人们着逃离非洲的路线， 也跟随着农业化的路线， 把人类捕捉， 给自己戴上王冠。
But now another beast followed—nations, which would follow the path of humans out of Africa and along the route of agriculturalization, capturing them with crowns on their heads.
此时国家还没有出现， 我们在这里有礼貌的提前请中共国的爱国者们滚开， 而中共党员们也许不可能理解我们在请你们做什么，你们是畜生的大便。 对于任意一只国家，我们都不会有违心的赞美，对于你们热爱的那只畜生， 人类史中的真相更可能深深刺伤您的祖国或者母国， 这些真相与你在祖国的教育系统中学习的内容不同， 我们的内容可以证明也可以证伪，因此属于科学论述。 至于你们的祖国或者母国， 这些词汇原来也是褒义词现在都已经被你的主子污染了。
At this time, the country had not yet appeared, We are being polite and asking in advance for the patriotic citizens of the People's Republic of China to leave. And perhaps Communist Party members cannot understand what we are asking you to do; you are the excrement of beasts. Regarding any nation, we will not engage in insincere praise. The truth about your beloved beast in human history is more likely to deeply wound your country or motherland. These truths differ from what you have learned in your country's education system, Our content can be verified or refuted; therefore, it belongs to scientific discourse. As for your country or motherland, These words were originally commendatory but are now polluted by your masters.
闲话不提。
Enough said.
在苏美尔人之前， 两河流域在更早一些的时候， 约8500年前（公元前6500年 ）到5800年前， 被称为“乌贝德”时期， Ubaid period。 当时农业在这一地区已经相当普及， 陶器做得相当精美， 城市已经出现， 有考古证据说明人们会使用帆船。
Before the Sumerians, in earlier times around 8500 BCE (6500 BCE - 5800 BCE), this period was called the Ubaid period. Agriculture had already become widespread here; pottery was well made; cities appeared, and archaeological evidence shows that people were using sailboats.
到了苏美尔文明时期， 知名的城市超过二十座， 比如： Uruk， Kish， Ur ... 每一座城在政治上是一个城邦， 在信仰上都有自己的庇护神， 或者女神，神庙当然都是城市的中心。
During the Sumerian civilization period, over twenty known cities existed, such as Uruk, Kish, Ur... Each city was a separate polity in politics and had its own patron deity or goddess with temples serving as the center of the city.
苏美尔建筑以砖土结构为主， 当地缺少石头， 最初的砖头是日光晒干 的。 Ur 的神庙， Ziggurat， 发音是：咨古拉特， 是一个大型四层金字塔建筑结构， 修造在人造土山上。
Sumerian architecture primarily used brick structures since stone was scarce. The earliest bricks were sun-dried. The ziggurat at Ur, pronounced Ziggurat, is a large four-story pyramid structure built on an artificial hill.
苏美尔人是其它人给他们的名字， 最早使用这个名字的是阿卡德人， Akkadian。 苏美尔人称自己为“黑头人”， sag-gi-ga， 即黑头发的人， 发音是：傻鸡嘎， （嘎嘎嘎 ...）。
The Sumerians were named by others; the Akkadians first used this name. Sumerians referred to themselves as "black-heads," sag-gi-ga, meaning black-haired people. Pronounced as sa-ji-ga (ga ga ga...).
我们知道， 苏美尔人发明了文字， 发明了书写系统。 他们用小棍子在泥板上写字。从来没有一只猴子能做到， 不是胡写乱画， 而是有意思的写和画 。这是五千年前的故事， 公元前三千多年。
We know that the Sumerians invented writing and writing systems. They wrote with reed sticks on clay tablets. Monkeys never could have done it, not scribbling randomly but creating meaningful written and pictorial content. This is a story from five thousand years ago, the early third millennium BCE.
他们称自己居住的地方为“文明的君主的地方”，
就是两河流域的下游，
（ki-en-gir, in English: Places of noble lords）
发音是：七阿哥。 他们的语言被认为是孤立语种，
相比欧洲、 阿拉伯的语言， 苏美尔语言可能和象形的中文更接近。
They called their land "the abode of the noble lords," referring to the lower reaches of the river valleys (Sumer). This is located along the path taken by humans exiting Africa, with written language appearing near rivers and seas. The location of civilization was determined by geography, which influenced history.
也许， 文字可以代表人类出现的意义， 我们还没有找到其它发明文字的生物。
Perhaps, writing can represent the significance of human existence, and we have yet to discover any other species that has invented writing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_script
Cuneiform Script¶
Cuneiform script was one of the earliest systems of writing, first developed by ancient Sumerians in Mesopotamia around 3400–3100 BC. It is named after the Latin word "cūnēus," meaning "楔形" (wedge-shaped), due to its distinctive wedge-like marks made on clay tablets with a reed stylus.
The script was used by many cultures over thousands of years, including the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Elamites, Hittites, Luwians, Persians, and others. Cuneiform documents have been found in various parts of the Middle East, as far west as Syria and Cyprus.
Cuneiform writing was primarily a system of logograms, each symbol representing a word or phrase. However, it also included syllabary signs that stood for sounds. The script underwent many changes over time, evolving from early Sumerian to Old Akkadian and then to the more complex Neo-Assyrian and Babylonian scripts.
The discovery and decipherment of cuneiform have greatly enhanced our understanding of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, providing invaluable insights into their history, culture, religion, and daily life.
在没有文字记录的年代， 人们很难知道时间中的故事， 历史仿佛是藏在黑暗中， 黑暗中有恐怖的故事。当有了文字记录， 我们比较容易找回发生在过去的故事， 仿佛黑暗中有了光。
In the days without written records, people found it hard to know the stories in time, history seemed hidden in darkness, with terrifying tales within. When writing was recorded, we could more easily retrieve the stories that happened in the past, as if light appeared in the dark.
这就是文明的含意之一。
This is one of the meanings of civilization.
（这也同样就是中共毁灭人类文明的方法：禁止人们书写正常的文字， 禁止记录真相，让文字系统中充满谎言，从而让人民退化。 这些方法并不是中共发明的，而是金字塔赋予金字塔爬虫的天赋， 以后会详细论述。）
This is also the method by which the CCP destroys human civilization: prohibiting people from writing normal text, forbidding the recording of truth, filling the system with lies, thus causing the degradation of the populace. These methods were not invented by the CCP but were bestowed upon the pyramid builders by the pyramids themselves, as will be elaborated on later.
苏美尔人设定了一天24小时， 一小时60分钟， 发明了车轮。 他们留下了大量的楔形文字泥板。 据估计曾经出土的楔形文字泥板有50万到 200万块， 仅英国博物馆里就蔵着13万块。最早的样品出现在6千年前， 然而， 这种文字大约两千年前就彻底停止使用了， 目前仅有几百人懂得这种书写技术。当时， 人们就发现字母是更简单的书写方法， 更直接表达音节， 更少的基本符号， 比如希腊人后来就开始用字母。当然， 字母的源头同样也在两河流域。
A state had emerged.
苏美尔早期是一些城邦， 后来开始混战， 形成国家出现的条件。 公元前2000年左右， 当地土地盐碱化， 农业困难。 这时两河的中游地区， 也就是苏美尔北方的地区变得更适合农业发展。 再更多的战争后， 北方变得强大， 进入巴比伦尼亚时期， 官方语言也变为阿卡德语。
In the early Sumerian period, it was composed of city-states that later began to engage in warfare, creating conditions for the emergence of states. Around 2000 BCE, local land became salinized, making agriculture difficult. At this time, the middle reaches of the two rivers, which is the northern region of Sumer, became more suitable for agricultural development. After more wars, the north grew stronger and entered the Babylonian period, with Akkadian becoming the official language.
从苏美尔人的土地向南走， 走向地中海， 沿着地中海东岸，穿过莱文特地区， 来到北非，尼罗河流域。
Walk south from the land of the Sumerians, towards the Mediterranean, along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, through the Levant region, to North Africa and the Nile Valley.
古埃及文也是最古老的文字之一， 大约公元前 3千年左右出现， 一直到公元 1百年都在使用。 这种文字也被称为圣书体， 因为它常常刻在古埃及神庙中。
Hieroglyphs were also one of the oldest scripts, appearing around the 3rd millennium BCE and were in use until the 1st century CE. This script was also known as hieroglyphic writing because it often was carved in ancient Egyptian temples.
在地理位置上， 古埃及文字和苏美尔文字都出现在中东， 在走出非洲的路线上， 人类文字都在河流边上， 靠近大海的地方出现。 文明出现的位置是地理条件决定的， 地理影响着历史。
In terms of geographical location, ancient Chinese characters and Sumerian script both appeared in the Middle East. On the route of human migration out of Africa, writing emerged near rivers and close to the sea. The locations where civilizations arose were determined by geography, and geography influenced history.
在文字出现之前， 人们只有在面对面的时候才能传授经验。有了文字之后， 知识可以被记录和分享， 被很久以后的另一个人阅读和理解。
Before the advent of writing, knowledge was passed on only in person. With the invention of writing, information could be recorded and shared, to be read and understood by someone many years later.
埃及在尼罗河中下游， 尼罗河向北流经非洲东北， 长6,853公里，
有两条主要的支流， 白尼罗河和青尼罗河。
河面在非洲烈日下闪闪发光， 河岸不远处就是漫漫黄沙。
发源于埃塞俄比亚高原的青尼罗河水量更大，
但白尼罗河则是两条支流中更长的。
白尼罗河、青尼罗河相汇在苏丹首都喀土穆附近。
Egypt is located in the lower reaches of the Nile River, which flows north through northeastern Africa for 6,853 kilometers. It has two major tributaries: the White Nile and the Blue Nile.
The river surface glistens under the African sun, while deserts stretch not far from its banks. The Blue Nile, originating from the Ethiopian Highlands, carries more water than the White Nile, which is actually longer of the two tributaries.
The White Nile and Blue Nile converge near the capital city of Sudan, Khartoum.
尼罗河下游在其入海口冲积泛滥形成了一个巨大的三角洲， 然后向北注入地中海。 尼罗河中游穿过苏丹和埃及， 经过沙漠成为生命之河。 1万2千年前人们从非洲北部迁徙而来， 约8-9千年前， 北非茂密的草原开始退缩， 在河畔开始出现从事早期农业的人。 农业化的过程是漫长的， 在尼罗河附近经过约4千年， 人们建立了私有制概念， 社会分化阶层。
The Nile Delta was formed by the river's flooding at its mouth and extends northward into the Mediterranean Sea. The middle course of the Nile runs through Sudan and Egypt, turning what would otherwise be a desert into a lifeline. Around 12,000 years ago, people migrated from northern Africa. By about 8-9,000 years ago, dense grasslands in North Africa began to recede, leading to the appearance of early agricultural communities along the riverbanks. The process of agriculturalization was long; it took approximately 4,000 years for concepts of private property to develop and social stratification to emerge near the Nile.
大约在公元前3150年， 第一任法老统一了上下埃及， 建立了国家， 他的名字发音是：哪儿卖儿。英文是：Narmer， 抱歉我们不懂古埃及文。 他的王权体现在纪念性的圣书体石板上， Narmer Palette。 这块石板太有名了， 盾形的石板有64厘米高， 两面有浮刻的象形文字和图形 。 文字是优美的图形， 格式工整， 古板上记着法老的名字，还刻画着法老手持权杖打向俘虏的图样， 他脚下有10 具砍下脑袋的尸体。
Around 3150 BCE, the first Pharaoh统一了上下埃及, 建立了国家。 His name is pronounced as "Narmer," which is written in English as Narmer. Unfortunately, we do not understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. His power was symbolized by the memorial Narmer Palette. This palette is too well-known; it stands 64 centimeters high and has relief hieroglyphs and figures on both sides. The hieroglyphs are beautiful graphics with neat formatting, inscribed on the palette are the Pharaoh's name and a scene where he wields a scepter to strike captives. At his feet lie ten decapitated bodies.
古埃及学者将古埃及历史分为31个王朝。 在哪儿卖儿之后， 法老建立了首都， 统治尼罗河中下游的城市， 法老给受过教育的官员支付报酬。官员负责收税， 建立法制系统， 征集民夫， 组织灌溉工程， 还有军队。
Ancient Chinese scholars divided ancient Egyptian history into 31 dynasties. After selling their sons, pharaohs established capitals and ruled over the cities downstream of the Nile River. Pharaohs paid报酬ed educated officials, who were responsible for collecting taxes, establishing legal systems, drafting laborers, organizing irrigation projects, and maintaining armies.
国家出现了。
The country has appeared.
这是一种新的野兽， 人们以前没有见过。 此时， 此地， 第一只国家出现了。
This is a new beast that people have never seen before. Here and now, the first nation has appeared.
这里就是爱国主义最遥远的源头了， 是不是？
Is this not the farthest source of patriotism?
圣书石刻标志着一个伟大的国家， 来看看吧， 所有国家的源头！
The Stele of Holy Writings marks a great nation. Come and take a look! The source of all countries!
竟然只有五千年的时间。
Only five thousand years.
在漫长的人类史中， 国家的历史并不是太长。
In the long human history, the history of nations is not too long.
一些人认为国家是永恒的， 单纯的爱国情绪令人羡慕， 然而国家一出现， 人类的尸体就已经刻在古石板上。
Some people believe that the state is eternal, and pure patriotic feelings are enviable. However, as soon as the state appeared, human corpses were already inscribed on ancient stone tablets.
爱国激情的源头就是这样一块五千年前的石板吗？
Is this a stone slab from five thousand years ago the source of our patriotic passion?
石板上刻有十具尸体， 十颗脑袋砍下来， 一颗一颗放在两腿间。 在旁边， 圣书体的文字记下了法老的名字。
The flagstones are carved with ten corpses, ten heads severed, each placed between the legs. Beside them, hieroglyphics record the name of the pharaoh.
最早的国家还有其它候选， 也可以有不同评选标准： 文字、农业、考古证据 、人口规模、土地面积、政府组织等等， 无论哪一支评选团队来评选， 古埃及都应该是最早的国家之一， 为了方便， 不再强调“之一”。国家就是这个时候出现的， 这种原本应当被视为人类最大毒害的东西后来被洗脑成为人 类的父亲、 母亲、 祖先和所有的爱的凝聚。
The earliest states had other candidates, and different evaluation criteria could have been used: written records, agriculture, archaeological evidence, population size, land area, government organization, etc. Regardless of which team conducted the evaluation, ancient Egypt should still be considered one of the earliest states. For convenience, we will no longer emphasize "one of." The state emerged at this time, and what was originally seen as humanity's greatest poison was later brainwashed into becoming the fathers, mothers, ancestors, and all that is love.
此时， 全球人口大约5000万， 这些人经历了几万年走出非洲的流浪， 之前有几十万年在冰川纪的周期降临中向近代人类进化， 有百万年的物种演化， 战胜了所有的野兽之后， 国家这种野兽来了， 只要很短的时间， 就将把人类全部抓进国家的笼子里， 让所有人刻骨铭心的记住： 伟大的国家是永恒的存在， 人类只是它的食物。
At this time, the global population was approximately 50 million people. These individuals had wandered out of Africa over several hundred thousand years, with几十万年 previously witnessing the evolution into modern humans during glacial periods, and 百万年间 species evolved, defeating all beasts. Then came the beast known as the state, which managed to cage all humans within a very short time, making everyone acutely aware: the great state is an eternal existence, and humans are merely its food.
人类在进化吗？
Is humanity evolving?
大概只能算是逃亡吧， 逃离兽性， 逃离暴政， 这是个不断的被捉住、吃掉 的过程。吃掉一个人， 吃掉一族人， 吃掉一国人， 吃掉一个人口结构。
Perhaps it's just an escape from savagery and tyranny, a continuous process of being caught and devoured. Devour one person, a tribe, a country, and the structure of a population.
爱国主义最终的锚点就在这块石碑上吧？无头的尸体也刻在这块石板上。
Is patriotism ultimately anchored by this stele? A headless body is also carved on this slab.
从此国家的暴力倾向成为太多恐惧与痛苦的来源， 杀人太多了。
Since then, the country's tendency towards violence has become a source of too much fear and pain, with too many killings.
关于人类史，爱国者的祖国们刻画了圣书体的叙事诗， 诗歌的字体是伟大、光荣和永恒，我们不准备这样写历史。 人类史的第一法则是：写清楚人类死亡的数字。
Regarding human history, the patriots of their nations inscribed epic narratives in hieroglyphics, the font of which was great, glorious, and eternal. We are not prepared to write history that way. The first rule of human history: write clear numbers of human deaths.
中文史从来做不到上述法则， 虽然现在中文还没有做为文字系统被发明。
Chinese history has never adhered to these rules, though Chinese as a writing system has not yet been invented now.
究竟是文字先被发明还是国家先被发明？
Was writing invented before nations, or were nations invented before writing?
对中美洲玛雅文明的考古可能提供一些线索，归地马拉， 挖掘出的建筑已经显示了社会的统治结构，却还没有文字。 也就是说吃人的野兽可能来得更快，比智慧女神的礼物来得更早。
Archaeological excavations in Mesoamerica, such as those in Guatemala, may provide some clues. The buildings unearthed have already shown signs of societal hierarchies, but no writing has been found. In other words, the beasts that eat people might arrive sooner than the gifts of the Wise Lady, possibly earlier than we expect.
