That is because writing was originally invented to record the collection and distribution of grain, beer, bread, and other goods. It arose as a natural extension of the neolithic custom of using tokens to account for contributions to a communal storehouse. Indeed, sumerian society was a logical continuation of neolithic social structures but on a far larger scale, the culmination of thousands of years of increasing economic and cultural complexity. Just as the chieftain of a neolithic village collected surplus food, the priests of the sumerian cities collected surplus barley, wheat, sheep, and textiles. Officially, these goods were offerings to the gods, but in practice they were compulsory taxes that were consumed by the temple bureaucracy or traded for other goods and services. The priests could, for example, pay for the maintenance of irrigation systems and the construction of public buildings by handing out rations of bread and beer."

11987191376 | "The manner of life in such a state is that of democrats; there is freedom and plainness of speech, and every man does what is right in his own eyes, and has his own way of life. Hence arises the most various developments of character; the state is like a piece of embroidery of which the colors and figures are the manners of men, and there are many who, like women and children, prefer this variety to real beauty and excellence. The State is not one but may, like a bazaar at which you can by anything. The great charm is, that you may do as you like; you may goern as you like, let alone if you like, go to war and make peace if you feel disposed, and all quite irrespective of anybody else. When you condemn men to death they remain alive all the same; a gentleman is desired to go into exile, and he stalks about the streets like a hero; and nobody sees him or cares for him. Observe, too how grandly democracy sets her foot upon all our fine theories of education, how little she cares for the training of her statesmen!

He know, if he were ever to fight a battle, he would have to choose his comrades and supporters, the men on his right hand and left, from these and these alone; it was from them he must appoint his officers for horse and foot. If he had to send out a general alone it would be from them that one must be sent: he must depend on them for straps and governors over cities and nations; he would require then for ambassadors, and an embassy was, he knew, the best means for obtaining what he wanted without war."
