Develamos en Palacio Nacional el retrato al óleo que estará en la Galería de los Presidentes. En esta obra, de Ermilo Espinosa, estamos acompañados del pueblo en el Zócalo de la Ciudad de México.
El cuadro está lleno de simbolismos, entre ellos el bastón de mando y la banda presidencial, que capturan la cercanía con la gente, esencia de la Cuarta Transformación de México. Agradecemos a las artesanas de Oaxaca que realizaron este marco único tallado en oro.
La mañanera fue para informar, aclarar, ejercer el derecho de réplica y que un grupo no acapare todo lo relacionado con la comunicación. Conferencia matutina https://t.co/q6UeLKOFzw

While modern civilizations extend to every continent except Antarctica, most scholars place the earliest cradles of civilizations in other words, where civilizations first emerged in modern-day Iraq, Egypt, India, China, Peru and Mexico, beginning between 4000-3000 BC. These ancient complex societies, starting with Mesopotamia, formed cultural and technological advances, several of which are still present today. “A great many of the details of modern life, not just in the Middle East and the West, but across the world, have origins that go back for thousands of years to the ancient cultures in their respective regions,” says Amanda Podany, author and professor emeritus of history at California State Polytechnic University.
Meaning “between two rivers” in Greek, Mesopotamia (located in modern-day Iraq, Kuwait and Syria) is considered the birthplace of civilization. The culture that grew up between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is noted for important advancements in literacy, astronomy, agriculture, law, mathematics, architecture and more, despite near-constant warfare. Mesopotamia was also home to the world’s first urban cities, including Babylon, Ashur and Akkad.
“Mesopotamia is the earliest urban literate civilization on the globe and Sumerians, who established the civilization, established the ground rules,” says Kenneth Harl, author, consultant and professor emeritus of history at Tulane University. “Those who know how to research and write run the civilization and everyone [else] does the grunt work.”
The cuneiform writing system, used to establish the Code of Hammurabi, is among the most famous Mesopotamian advancements. They also created the base 60 numeric system, which led to the 60-second minute, 60-minute hour and 360-degree circle. And it was Babylonian astronomy that first divided the year into 12 periods named after constellations—what the Greeks would later evolve into the zodiac.
Persia eventually conquered Mesopotamia in 539 BC. Centuries of upheaval followed. “Within the three millennia in which ancient Mesopotamia flourished, innumerable individual kingdoms came and went, and a few empires rose and fell for various reasons,” says Podany, author of the forthcoming book Weavers, Scribes, and Kings: A New History of Ancient Near East. “But at its core, civilization was recognizably the same from around 3500 BC to as late as 323 BC and, many would argue, beyond that. The region was rarely unified, but the civilization was very stable.”
Perhaps the most romanticized of past civilizations, ancient Egypt stood as one of history’s most powerful empires for more than 3,000 years. Set along the fertile Nile River and at one time extending from today’s Syria to Sudan, the civilization is most known for its pyramids, tombs and mausoleums and the practice of mummification to prepare corpses for the afterlife.
Harl, author of the forthcoming book, Empires of the Steppes: How the Steppe Nomads Forged the Modern World, says Egypt's use of labor to undertake architectural projects such as the pyramids was unrivaled. “The ability to amass 100,000 men to assemble the great pyramid in 2600 B.C. is just not matched anywhere," he says.
Egyptians also proved extremely skilled at agriculture and medicine, he adds. And they developed exquisite sculpture and painting traditions, as well. Ancient Egyptians also left a legacy of monumental writing and mathematics systems. The cubit, a measure of length roughly the span of a forearm, was key to designing the pyramids and other structures. They developed the 24-hour day and 365-day calendar during this time. And they established hieroglyphic pictorial writing system, followed by the hieroglyphic system that used ink on papyrus paper. The civilization came to an end in 332 BC, when it was conquered by Alexander the Great.
