Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Studying ancient civilizations from space can change the way we view the ancient world because technology can help us to get a new perspective and enhance the understanding of how ancient civilizations developed thousands of years ago, and what factors made them disappear.

If researchers, historians, and archeologists can find better answers to what happened to ancient civilizations, we can have a more accurate version to answers question that until today are questionable or create controversy.

Scientists find it difficult to understand things such as the origin of the firsts human civilization that settled in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the Sumerians. Oficial history states that they settled in that region of the Middle East approximately 8,000 years ago. However, modern discoveries have found archeological sites that are dated 12 to 15, 000 years ago, as is the case of Gobeki Tepi, in Turkey. This means that older civilizations existed before the Sumerians.
