The Ancients

The Ancients are interesting people and some think they weren't as advanced as we are now. Some think that they did not have the technology or the power or the money to perform the things we do now. I intended to prove opposite. I intended to prove the advancement of the Ancients and how they use their advancement based upon their religious belief. For instance in Egypt, women were having surgeries. It was common among the rich Egyptians to have surgeries in order to entice a suitor. They would get pregnant and then have an abortion so their breasts can enlarge and their hips become bigger. Being volumtous was popular back in those days as it is in our days. And they would have abortions if they were pressured by their families and suitors, men had more power in those days than today. They would ordered their spouse to do what they told them. Disobeying their husband mean to be cast out of your livelihood and lose all riches and fame. The Egyptians were wild and pomiscious. They would fight wars just to mate with other people and enslaved other people. They would kill most of the men if they did not submit so they could have their women and if a woman was too young then they would have her be a servant until she could bear. Now you understand where we get Love and Wars because that is what most wars were fought for, really Lust and Wars. People and nations would spy out other nations just to see their livelihood and their spouses, their community, their wealth, their children, and their security just to envy and covet their way of life. Now the Romans like the Egyptians adapting most of their ways, they would allow Romans to be more freed in their power as citizens. The Romans thought of themselves even more than the Egyptians of being gods and goddesses. They believe they could do whatever they want and say whatever they want. They as other Ancient Empires forces bondage on those who did not adapt to their ways, these bondage orders were slave code and these slave codes were built upon bigotry and ethnocentrism. They used a nation's religion like Alexander the Great to persecute foreigners and slaves. They learned the laws of the religion to used as a weapon to enforce their superiority and to forge the Roman Pax, or Roman Peace. The Romans exclusively were open to sexualities as their leader, their god, and their emperor could have many sexualities and satisifed that desire by turning any man or woman into their mate. This was noted under Nero and goes back as far as Juilius Caesar who lover was a King besides Cleopatra. Nero was noted for forcing and changing a man into a woman by removing his privates surgerically. And these mates of the emperors were passed down to every emperor until their death. The Ancients also had to think about eco-friendly, global warming even in their days. They used building products that still exist today that is why their temples, structures, and buildings still stand. We are still finding out about the unknown knowledge of the empires and I hope this enlightened society about its norms and enlightened the future to know where societal norms have come from and that they are an ongoing phenomenon in human history. We must understand and teach this history informed the world about the past and to investigate, perceived and gain knowledge so we could learn from their knowledge by critically theorizing the paths and making informed decisions about the future of our world.
