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. India

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 that the great kingdoms of India, viz., Magadh, Gupta, and Mughals found their home.
