The Chaos of Ancient Times

the chaos of ancient times:

in truly ancient times, before the age of science, most had not met and were indeed worlds apart. it was a time of isolation and instability, a time of self discovery in the chaos that was creation. geography was unknown, language undiscovered and there was no common system in place.

now ideas require words to express them. the subsequent development of language and obsession with making sense of the world around them were key. the sound of language was inspiring and its spread rapid across what was then the world as it was.

language became cultural movements. indeed, when we speak of conquest, this could be interpreted as a conquest of ideas and culture, a common base of tools to communicate with each other.

life was uncertain. those of great power and influence were thought of as magicians or even gods. in understanding the ancients, you must realize that they began with very little but hope. the quest for immortality and knowledge and wisdom were common themes in ancient history. to say that it was an insecure time is to say that they were fearful, yet they were wonderfully prepared to learn. they grasped at anything that would lead to greater understanding and created ideals for themselves.

however, the nature and personalities of people often do not change with time, by which i mean that these types are still with us today, though in an altogether modern setting.
