References?

so this article has been hanging around since 2006 without any sort of reference? Whose term is this? Where is it used?

I get 132 google books hit, and the phrase is used entirely compositionally, as in "civilized core of liberal economics". --dab (𒁳) 10:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Same here. There is no history as to who exactly coined the term or whether there is an academic consensus for this label describing the four cited civilizations that purportedly constitute these civilized core in the identified period. The reference I used (Chinese City and Urbanism) in an attempt to expand this article mentioned this term and it was only to refer to China's experience. Darwin Naz (talk) 22:55, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Civilized Core???

Who invented this term "Civilized Core" and what is its definition? What purpose does it serve? Why is Egypt not included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephentsang2000 (talk • contribs) 05:33, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

So the so called "Civilization core" is Phonicia to Greece and then Greece back to Mesopotamia. A veeery strange casus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nix1129 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Other civilizations

Why aren't the Olmec, Norte Chico/Caral, Indus Valley, and Shang China on here?
