THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
What the world look like if there were no Christianity and Islam? Europe would be a pagan empire with various ethnic divisions. Asia would still be Buddhist or practicing ancestral religions. The Middle East would be populated by Jews and pagan Arabs and the Americas would be populated by Native people who wouldn't call their land America but something else. 2024 in this world would look like the 12th century.
