This book provides a new look at the world scene based on a precise macro-theory of civilizations and shows new data supporting the theory from recent archaeological field work.Recent events have created a changed international scene that reflects the projections of our macro-theory of civilizations in our books of 2001 - 2010. This book presents data that shows the current state of the world is consistent with our theory. It further shows that recently discovered archaeological data for many regions of the world also agree with our theory.
