Here. This is all of history. All other discussion is redundant <|endoftext|> It seems to be putting an end to the Grug -> Civilisation meme. Which is to say &quot;civilisation&quot;, art, culture, organised religion, trade, language, etc all existed before City-slaver empires. Ironically, many people can't break out of the grug to city mindset and so think that any civilised &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;pre-history&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; must be the result of another more ancient city-slaver empire because it's impossible for them to fathom human society without a centralised state. <|endoftext|>
