  • yetAnotherCroc, on 04/26/2008, -1/+12Because everything in the past was a part of some religious ritual. Every object uncovered is religious, every symbol in ancient languages is religious. Its basically an obsession among historians and archeologist's. In a thousand years they will oncover our iPods and come to the conclusion that they were used in the worship of Steve Jobs. Oh wait...

  • polarbear66, on 04/26/2008, -0/+8that's not necessarily true,

    the nothern culture celebrated women as equals, though they understood their strengths being in cunning, and civic skill (yes, including what we consider "house wife" duties)

    some of the women had fought alongside the men, if they were deemed a worthy warrior - though it was uncommon

  • Wyrmfell, on 04/26/2008, -3/+6Why is it that whenever archaeologists find an ancient corpse, they always immediately claim it was a human sacrifice?
