As I was reading through chapters 4-7, our book moves away from the ancient civilization to the classical era. This was the time that Empires grew powerful with a lot of hierarchy. it's amazing how fast the growth of population and technology moved all over the world. The fact that species grew from each other and spread the knowledge among each other is what made our world as modern as it is today.
But as we move along it seems like the time then is no different from the time are living in now. The growth of all Empires, religion and power were so much that people turned against each other. Mistreatment and prejudice of people are still the same. Whether it be for power, inequality or greed our system still seems to be running the very same way. As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. It's very sad, but you see this with the way our government runs the country today.
The most interesting part of all of this for me was the religion part of it all. I really enjoyed reading what other religions praised on and what was important to them. Men of course were the spiritual leaders where women weren't recognized or accepted for anything. It's still the same way today. As a baptized catholic, I went to private school most of my life. But as I got older I lost my faith in what I was raised to believe in. People took their religion very serious and were dedicated to it. But over thousands of years and like everything else, religion has changed so much.
