The book traces how the Western civilization evolved from its origin in the earliest Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia and developed through the millennia by absorbing many other cultures in its neighborhood into the dominant economic and military powerhouse that it is today. It examines how the various religions and languages evolved in tandem with the development of the civilizations and how they influenced the course of history.

The evolution of the other three great civilizations was examined as well as the continuous interaction and mutual enrichment between the different civilizations. It is noteworthy that their complex historical interactions and developments are now shaping their severe competition and vicious confrontation in the modern era. How these events unfold will determine the future of humankind and the fate of the planet.
