The Fallacy of the Greek Miracle

Colonization has both mental and physical aspects to it. And miseducation plays a major part in it. History is rewritten by liars who fuzz the facts to promote their vision as is the case with Zionism. The Europeans of the Renaissance did the same thing when they rewrote a history of civilization with true light supposedly starting in Greece. But Greece was not born in a vacuum but was heir to great civilizations before it..writers of the Renaissance tried to ignore this because it suggested non European civilizations were great which would conflict with the worldview they had in mind. Even the english word barbarian comes from greek "barabaros" which simply means non-Greek, goes to show you how far back the bullshit goes. MIT and Harvard graduate and current professor at George Washington University Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr examines the issue in this interesting lecture.
