Continuity of Religion from paleolithic to neolithic to rise of civilizations
Subject:
We see the continuity of religion throughout the paleolithic period to the rise of civilizations. in the hunting and gathering society, religion played a key role through rituals such as burying the dead and role of Goddesses was prominent. Women and men had equal contributions in society and this was also representative in religion. As one moved foward, polytheism continued. Gods were used to explain phenomenon of nature as well as reinforce civic loyalty. Progression to river civilizations in Mesopotamia ie babylon and Hammurabi's laws outlined some of these rules in society. If the river god Adad flooded your farm you were exempt from your tax burden to the state.
