Western civilization is the greatest to ever exist.
We built the Parthenon. Then we built Notre-Dame, Chartres, and the Hagia Sophia.
We painted the Sistine Chapel, the School of Athens, and Las Meninas.
We sculpted David, the Pietà, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
We wrote The Iliad, The Divine Comedy, and Hamlet.
We gave the world Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Newton, and Goethe.
We discovered the laws of physics, invented calculus, and mapped the human genome.
We built Athens, Rome, Paris, and Vienna.
We crossed oceans, reached the moon, and split the atom.
Every civilization has its achievements. But none built more, thought deeper, or reached further.
