How were civilizations such as the Phoenicians, Greeks, China, and the Ganges Valley able to rebuild, recover and transform from the ruins of civilizations past?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answers will vary but correct responses should include: Recovery was possible because traditions survived and were shared with existing cultures that developed into new empires. In some regions, cultural traditions were revived from past civilizations and joined with new initiatives and thinking. Outside influences also became stimulating factors in rebuilding and recovery in which cultural exchanges and colonialism became factors in growth.
