He explains that 5000 years of history is not the same as 5000 years of continous civilization

@shortstories Well one has to define continuous, but if you look at language evolution, you can find the same format used today 5000 years ago. Yes, the civilization and territory have grown and shrunk, yes, other civilizations have mixed and muddled, that is just the nature of time.
