chapter 2
With human kind evolving we started to find new ways of living and settled in one area, we formed communities which led to civilizations. Around 3500 B.C.E. the first civilizations were formed and around the same time written language was created. Cities would eventually start to flourish with newer designs that kept even the gods from sleeping, though such riches do not come without hierarchies, social classes started to form, people started to believe they were better than one another. In almost any point in time gender has played a role and it is always the same, men are dominant over women. Men are doing the physical stuff and women are doing everything else. Sex was very open for men as long as they did not involve themselves with another man's wife, married women could only involve themselves with their husbands. Writing was a new aspect of life for these people, some saw it as a gift from the gods. Writing spread like fire, many people learned to write and that gave power, they could rebel against their rulers.
