If we were to analyze all the great ancient civilizations of the old world like the Indus valley civilization of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in India, Hwang Ho civilization in China, the great Greek civilization of Athens and Sparta, the great Egyptian civilization with its majestic pyramid of Giza known as the Nile River valley cities of Pharaohs, Babylonian civilization at the rivers Tigris and Euphrates and not forget the Mayans civilization with its own pyramid in South America and other similar majestic civilizations scattered around the ancient world, we will see a pattern of a kind of devotion in building monumental structures based on advance method of civil engineering feats so stupendous that it puzzled the modern archaeologists and architects alike as to how these structures were built without any modern heavy engineering equipment’s.
The civil engineering feats these civilizations exhibit among others are one of the main achievements apart from developing written languages, legal codes, advance agricultural methods, military conquest, political and philosophical theories as well as development of major religions can all be traced back originating from these civilizations.
Apart from these ancient civilizations not to forget the sudden burst onto the scene from obscure desert dwellers within a span of 20 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islamic civilization races across the globe empowering old civilizations back to its glorified days from the Middle East it spread like wild fire to Granada and Andalusia in Spain, to India further north even to China as well as reaching the Malay Archipelago in South East Asia.
