many poor burials while the rich ones are single, and then there are whole classes of
priests and warriors buried in gold jewellery, with weapons. Besides, if in the early days
there was simply an exchange of goods among the population, without much need for
the material hoarding (apparently, the values were different, they were of the nonmaterial
nature), later on, gold, money, and trade appear with the focus on the
accumulation of the material wealth by individuals and the corresponding stratification
of the population, with the emergence of political and religious systems of government.
In other words, you can trace the "inclination" of the civilization in the direction of the
material thinking. I'd say more precisely, towards the domination of characteristics of
the Animal nature in the society, creation of states on this basis, the emergence of
slavery, and so on.
Another thing that surprised me is the fact that the secondary school curricula of various
"civilized" countries mention the information about the existence of the human society
until the 5th millennium BCE only in passing, referring to this period as "prehistory"
and describing mainly everyday life, the material living conditions of the so called in
science "prehistoric people". And the spiritual side of life of the ancient people is
portrayed as primitive beliefs in magic, spirits, in the existence of the Soul in man, in
otherworldly mythical realms and gods inhabiting them. But earlier, too, there had been
many interesting and meaningful things. Why is this concealed?
For example, in certain periods of time, various communities of people in parts of the
globe that were located at a considerable distance from each other suddenly started to
move to a more civilized level of existence on a massive scale, as scientists say, to "a
culture of productive economy"; to settled agriculture, and the production of pottery
with the same basic sacred signs, and the domestication of animals, construction of
houses (including two-storied ones in some places), with a clear plan of building big
cities and so on. And myths and legends of the peoples that were geographically
unrelated to each other mention that the locals were taught all this by the "people from
the sky", and that is where the belief that nature and the life of people are governed by
special higher beings originates. Often, it is during these periods that signs and symbols
started to appear on ritual ceramic dishes on a large scale. At the same time, these signs
(essentially, the same ones) existed before that time in the communities of people living
on different continents, as evidenced by rock carvings (petroglyphs). The signs were
found even in rock engravings painted 35,000 years ago!
Rigden: Simply, as I have already said, certain signs and symbols existed in the society
