top 5 most important dates in human history?

i think i have been wrong!!!
this man has the true understanding of history and this forum!
keep up the good work!!

 

You cant pick just five dates, there are many more 'world shaping' dates than just 5, wars, victories, deaths, births, agricultrial and industrial developments, inventions, revolutions, scientific discoveries, intelctual movment, ect ect ect.


But I can tell you that landing on the moon isnt one of them. That has'nt changed a damn thing of any real importance.

 

You may not be able to pick exact dates on these happenings but I think these 5 situations were important.

1. The flood about 3000BC that was worldwide and flooded the Euphrates valley.
2. The invention of the bowl after which came a great deal of descriptive words added to many languages describing such implements.
3. The first people to grab perhaps a burning bush after a lightening fire and keep the coals alive for a fire in their prehistoric camp.
4.The confluence of the religeous notions to convey God as an explanation to the power of men in the middle east area culminated by the life of Jesus Christ.
5. A series of scientific advancements that started perhaps about 1650 and go the present. Communication being the greatest influence with linotype being the reason books became cheap enough for everybody and the recent developement of computers being a communication tool that started to be a realistic opportunity in the 1990's for the sharing of knowledge.

My opinion is that communication is a greater influence than the field of transporation.
Without advertising to sell Model Ts, there would have been no income to develop at any pace worthwhile. This is also true of about any product. that came on since the beginning of the industrial revolution begun in the 1800's.
Before the invention of cheap books and printing it was probably word of mouth at a local tavern that spread any news of a new invention.

 

to me the 5 are (not in any particular order): 1) internet 2)atomic bomb 3)airplane 4)automobile 5)beginning of humanity
