Research Project: Philosophy / History Related.
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Topic for this project: I want to know "What are the two ancient civilizations that have the earliest philosophical texts / records that are still in existence?".
I want to know what is officially considered the oldest texts according to what the educational and scientific communities hold as being the oldest. (What do they teach in schools as the answer?)
And I'm not talking 1 piece of relic / tablet on philosophy, I'm talking, at least largely, a whole system of philosophy that there exists records of, or most of a system.
The texts of philosophy can be that from a single philosopher or from a group of philosophers and can be of primary source or of secondary source.
I wish to have, at least, 5 authoritative / academic sources cited from you (textbooks, encyclopedias, top scholars in the field, museums, governments, etc,) for your answer.
No article / essay is needed, for the two just provide me with the:
1. The names of the two ancient civilizations.
2. The philosophy of each civilization.
3. The philosophers of each ancient civilization.
