History:Ancestral civilisation

From HandWiki
Short description: Ancient inhabitants of a modern country

Ancestral civilisation or ancestral people is a term used to refer to ancient inhabitants of a modern country, in which that civilisation had its center or birthplace.[1][2] Although they lack the legal continuity of predecessor states, ancestral civilisations are foundational to the culture of contemporary states.[3] Ancient Civilizations can have a major role in the identity of modern nations. Examples include Ancient Greece and Ancient China in the national identities of their modern equivalents.
