Interview with Professor Mirko Canevaro - Why Civilizations Fall, Athens, and our Modern Views

-
A podcast with Professor of Classics at the University of Edinburgh, Mirko Canevaro, discussing the fall of civilizations, the city-state of Athens and the modern perception of how a civilization falls. The podcast starts off with thoughts about why civilizations fall and what we can see appearing from that. Secondly and crucially we explore the idea of inheriting a 'fallen' civilization and finishing with a talk about how Athens and Athenian Democracy prove that defining the fall of a civilization so bluntly is not always the correct way to view these moments in history. It is a historiographical rather than an historical question.   Points Discussed:  - How civilizations fall?  - How do we define the fall of a civilization?  - Examples of people's inheriting their past civilizations. - How Athens fell. The podcast is 2:50 long and was made using DaVinci Resolve 17 and recorded via Zoom.

The Fall of the Western Roman Empire

The idea of the Roman Empire falling in one great apocalyptic battle or singular event, typically involving a furious horde of barbarians besieging the mighty marble-clad city of Rome is false. This Lord of the Rings style of grand battle is appealing to think about. However, just like J.R.R Tolkien’s work, it is a fantasy.   There are a number of crucial factors that led to the slow erosion and collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The official date for the fall of the Western Empire is the year 476AD. In this year the Gothic King Odoacer forced the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, (an ironic name as the founder of Rome was also called Romulus) to abdicate. With Odoacer’s sack of the city there was no longer a central Roman senate or government and as such the remaining Roman states fractured and split into their own entities under Odoacer and later the Ostrogoth’s in Italy. This is the nearest to a singular event that dealt the final blow to an already weak...

The View of the Fall

-
Image
This is a timeline of all known empires, nations, and peoples that have existed across the world including how long they were around for. I believe it is a significant graphical representation of just how many times civilizations have risen and fallen over the millennia.  This second photo serves to underline just how much 1000 years of change in one region can look like. This is a map of European borders snapshotted and placed on one map over the span of 1000 years. It really serves to highlight that change, like time, is inexorable and nothing truly lasts forever, not even our greatest civilizational achievements. This table, discussing the factors that bring about the loss of a civilization, was written by Adibah Sulaiman. It mostly deals with how he perceives an Islamic or Asian Civilization being able to fall. With this view coming from a different culture than me there are still a number of factors that he highlights in this chart that are still universal to all humans. This ...
