In the ancient Neolithic era, humans did not have any individual beliefs and did not know any better than to all have the same beliefs based around religion and philosophy. I ancient Egypt, workers had hieroglyphics carved in the walls of the ancient pyramids, and tombs of rulers, which had pictures of food on the table. If that food was not on the table in the carving; they believed that the deceased ruler would not have had that certain food in the afterlife.Ancient egypts economy was very dependable on the Nile River. The ancient people believed that the river had gods as well, such as happy and asiris, yet the Nile and it’s god did not sustain a very direct role in the countries religious beliefs. The country that had even larger spiritual beliefs, and still does until this day is china. The chinese always believe in certain spirits or gods and it very much influenced their country and their countries belief. In fact the beliefs were so high, that the chinese to this day think there are ” human like creatures as well as human haved lived in north china plain for hundreds of thousands of years ” schwartz, 1992). meaning that they think there are some sort of super human or mythical human-like creatures living up north amongst it’s people. yet, what I do not understand is how they in ancient times, and even now communicate with them, I’m guessing maybe through prayer? the ancient chinese even had ”semi-mythical leaders” schwartz. 1992). these leaders could and could not control flood plains. as it is written in the reading, ”chinas early semi-mythical leaders was named Kun, who proved incapable of controling great floods” scwartz, 1992). yet, his son yu, devised an effective system of flood control” schwartz, 1992)
