Cycles of Civilizations

The Cycles of Civilizations refer to the idea that societies go through repeating phases over time, much like seasons. These stages include growth and expansion, reaching a peak or golden age, followed by decline due to factors like internal unrest, external threats, or resource exhaustion. Eventually, civilizations may collapse or transform, leading to new beginnings. This pattern helps us understand historical changes in empires, cultures, and societies by recognizing common themes of rise, stability, decline, and renewal. It offers a framework for analyzing how complex civilizations develop, endure, and evolve over centuries.
