Consisting Countries
Asia is a continent that has
been very important to the
World. People have been
living there for thousands
of years. In fact, the first
traces of civilization began
in Mesopotamia, a part of
Asia. Asia is the continent
with the huge country of
China. In the 15th and 16th
century, a great monument
in China was being built. It
is called the Great Wall of
China. The Great Wall is the
only man made super
structure that can be seen
from space. It is also a
monument of human
advancement considering
that it was built in times
before our major
technological ages.

History
Asia has been in many wars
and has a bloody history. A
little after 2500 BC one of
the most ancient
civilizations that we know
of was in Asia. This
civilization is known to us
as Sumeria. Sumeria, like so
many other ancient
civilizations built started
out as seperate city-states.
They built great temples,
and had mighty armies. A
powerful ruler named
Sargon united this great
empire. After Sargon's
death, Sumeria fell apart.
In the 13th-16th century
another Empire began to
form called China. Today,
China takes up a large
amount of Asia. They
conquered and built a huge
empire. The Chinese even
produced a whole new way
of life. The Chinese were
mighty in battle and built
the great wall of China to
defend them from the
warring tribes that lived
north of them. The Great
Wall is a massive structure,
snaking through the hills of
northern China. In fact, the
Great Wall is so large that it
is the only man-made
structure visible from
space.

As the largest and most
populous continent in the
world with just over 3.8
billion people, Asia is
composed of a wide variety
of ethnic groups, cultures,
environments, economics,
historical ties, and
governmental systems.
Geographically
the continent
makes up 8.7% of the Earth's
total
surface area, and
29.5% of its land area.
In the west,
Asia is bordered
byEurope,the eastern
coastline of the
Mediterranean Sea, as well
by theSea of Marmara,
theBosporus Strait, the
Black Seaand theCaspian
Sea.
In the east, Asia is bordered
by thePacific Ocean,and
an almost endless stretch of
bays and seas.
TheArctic Oceanand a
handful of seas front the
northern border, while the
Bering Seaseparates Asia
fromNorth America.In the
southwest theRed Seaand
isthmus of Suez separate
the continent fromAfrica.
TheIndian Oceanfronts
most of Asia's southern
borders, along with a series
of bays, gulfs and seas, as
well as extensive chains of
both inhabited and
uninhabited islands.

'India' was applied
The name
to the country by the
Greeks. It corresponds to
the "Hi(n)du" of the old
Persian epigraphs.Like
"Sapta sindhavah" and
"Hapta Hindu"- the
appellations of the Aryan
country in the Veda and the
Vedinand - it is derived from
Sindhu (Indus), the great
river that constitutes the
most imposing feature of
that part of the sub-
continent, which seems to
have been the cradle of its
earliest known civilizations.
Rising in southwestern
Tibet, at an altitude of
16,000 feet, Indus enters the
Indian territory near Leh in
Ladakh.
The
river has a total
drainage area of about
4,50,000 square miles, of
which 1,75,000 square miles
lie in theHimalayan
Mountainsand foothills.
After
flowing eleven miles
beyond Leh, in the north
Indian state of Jammu and
Kashmir, the basin is joined
on the left by its first
tributary, the Zanskar, which
helps
green the Zanskar
Valley. Many interesting
mountain trails beckon the
mountaineering enthusiasts
to the Zanskar Valley. The
Indus then flows past
Batalik. When it enters the
plains, its famous five
tributaries-Jhelum, Chenab,
Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej-that
give Punjab (the food bowl
of India) its name as the
"land of five rivers," join it.
However,much
of the myth
and sentiment attached to
India is related with the
Ganges. The gushing waters
of the Ganges are at once
peaceful, and at once
tumultuous. Nature's glory
and man's aspirations have
long met along the Ganges.
As her civilization spread out
further,
a pilgrimage had to
be undertaken to reach her
watery shores. Fairs and
festivals began to be
celebrated on her banks. The
history of Ganga is as long
as the history of the Indian
civilization. Barring the
period of the Harappan
civilization, the Ganga basin
has been a spectator to all
the actions that shaped the
mythology, history, and
people of India. It was in this
plain
that the great
kingdoms of India, viz.,
Magadh, Gupta, and Mughals
found their home. It was in
this region that one of the
most homogenous cultures
of all times was born.place
that the essence of
Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism,
and Sikhism was established
in India. Ever since then, the
river has been the lifeline of
India, economically,
spiritually and even
culturally.

The
mighty Ganga (also
known as the Ganges)
emerges from beneath the
Gangotri glacier at a height
of 3,959 m above sea level,
in the Garhwal region of
North India. Here she is
known as the Bhagirathi,
after the legendary prince
Bhagirath who is accredited
with bringing her down
from heaven to earth.
Bursting forth at Gaumukh,
out of a huge cavern shaped
like the mouth of a cow,
snow laden and hung with
giant icicles, the Bhagirathi
goes rushing, sparkling,
foaming around chunks of
ice that are constantly
breaking off from the
glacier above. Eighteen
kilometers downstream,
stands Gangotri, which was
the source of the river until
the glacier melted and
retreated to its present
position above Gaumukh.
From here onwards the river
passes
through the plains of
North India, covering the
states of Uttar Pradesh,
Bihar, West Bengal, and
Bangladesh. Along the route
that Ganga and her
tributaries took, were set up
different settlements, each
of which were distinct and
developed their own
indigenous culture.n
