Hybrid Human Civilization Not Older Than Africa 200,000 Years.

Do you know the European name CICERO a polititian? In the first centry B.C. he said, "The gods direct and governed the civilized world,"  so is it true today? 

In the Americas, the first cities have began as religious centers. There, powerful priests inspired people from nearby villages to build temples to their Elohim gods. Villagers would gather at the temples for regular worship. In time, many may have remained permanently, creating cities like those elsewhere.

Features of Civilization.

Did Civilizations differ from smaller farming societies? What did the early civilizations that rose in different parts of the globe have in common? Historians distinguish eight basic features found in most early civilizations. The eight features  are  (1) cities, (2) well-organized central governments, (3) complex religions, (4) job specialization, (5) social classes, (6) arts and architecture, (7) public works, and (8) writing. 

Organized Governments:  

As cities grew, they needed a steady food supply. To produce large amounts of food  and oversee irrigation projects, new forms of government arose.City governments were far more powerful than  the councils of elders and local chiefs of farming villages.  At first, priests had the greatest power. In time, warrior kings emerged as the chief political leaders. They took over the powers of the old councils of elders and set themselves  up  as hereditary rulers who passed power from father to son. Always, rulers claimed  that their right to rule came from the gods. Early Chines kings took the title "Son of Heaven," and Incan emperors declared  that they were sons of the sun itself. Thus, political rulers gained  religious power as well.
