No knocking, not going into great humor, but why did the (supposed) maturation of society / civilization seem to jump over large swaths of land between Morocco and western China?

My understanding of it was that Constantine became a Christian and it
spread under his influence in Rome and then Northward.
Why Northward? Maybe better communication, roads etc.
What always blows my mind is how quickly it spread through the
world by word of mouth as there was no formal communication
system, newspaper, radio or TV.

Just a guess on my part, but being there were so many different tribes with
their religious believes in the South, it wasn't fertile ground for conversion?

My point - I didn't make clear enough, was the rapid transformation - mostly of the good - of the western and eastern parts of the world while largely leapfrogging Africa and the Middle East.

News reports say 2 Tomahawks hit the compound by British submarine.

Seven more were scheduled to hit it also but because CNN and Reuters
reporters were invited in to view the damage they had to cancel.

Sounds like Gaddafi was smarter than the reporters.
