Ancient Religion

Today, new technology and theories provide proof on how our world functions. Through these new developments, the sciences can advance. This advancement not only allowed us to increase knowledge but our rationality likewise. Traits that are only unique to us in the entire animal kingdom. Like science, Religion is seen to have as much of an influential role in our development as a species. Organized religion helps create a connection between people which results in community and culture. Ideas would be able to spread and grow far easier within a community. This was due to religion’s prevalence in the ancient world more so than the present day. A key example was the establishment of Christianity as the Roman Empire’s official religion. As

Religious behaviors developed to what they are today beginning in the pre-historic times of the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and the Neolithic. There is evidence of these behaviors in the archaeological artifacts as well as mythological evidence. Religious behaviors evolved as humans evolved.

Religion is based off of your time and technology. It is shown by the progression of time and how it influences people’s beliefs over time. As shown in the upper paleolithic revolution people had polytheism in the early 50,000 bc with the advancements of technology and the evolution of the human mind, The belief of many gods began to emerge into the belief of only one god. Then further advancements began to question if there was a higher power of any god at all.

The Egyptians had a very strong religion. The characteristics of the Ancient Egyptian religion can be divided into five elements of authority, faith, rituals, moral code, and the gods worshipped. The main authority of the Egyptian religion was the Pharaoh, he had divine right over the people and was considered a god. Also, he could change the religion any way he wanted. Religion in Egypt played a very significant role.

Egypt is considered the birthplace of many world religions. It contains some of the oldest religious artifacts, texts, and art that can be traced to modern religions. Egyptians were expected to depend on each other to keep balance for the will of the gods to produce the greatest amount of pleasure and happiness for humans through a harmonious existence which also enabled the gods to better perform their tasks. Many Egyptians believed that when the Gods were happy that harmony and happiness would be emitted, but when the Gods were not pleased they would not make the Nile River overflow and make their crops not grow. The advancement of their religion led to the development of a social class because they placed their Gods and Pharaohs on the highest

Religion which has been around since the earliest of settlements served not only as a sense of hope and reason during gruesome events throughout history, but as a way of adding meaning and significance to the lives of people and civilizations, thus shaping them not only as individuals but as a society. Although, a great desire to generate wealth was a main aspect in the development of civilizations (considering that they were told that "financial support for their efforts would end"), without religion there would've been nothing to fall back on when all hope was lost, proving that religious devotion had the strongest impact in shaping most of the early settlements.

In ancient times, when humans are in the infant stage of development of human history, humans’ understandings of nature are just only based in their imagination. While facing the powerful forces of nature, people are aware of their own strength is pretty small, and their fate is controlled by an invisible power-- they called this unknown force “god”. With the passage of time, people seem to foresee the possibility of overcoming nature, and they begin to look forward to their own peers, a powerful figure, to complete the great cause of beating nature. The emergence of priests shows the beginning of religion.

Religion played a significant role in the ancient society of Greece. Spartans were well-known for their devotion and commitment to their Gods and Goddesses, so dedicated that they were mortified by other Greek states. With their violent nature and the death of numerous soldiers, religion had a momentous influence in the attitude of the Spartans toward death and their funerary traditions.

Since the dawn of the human race, men and women have traveled the world for a myriad of reasons. The need for more food, a better living environment, religious or ethnic persecution, or even curiosity have driven humankind to search out new lands and new territories. In the ancient world, people traveled for different reasons including to spread their religion or to escape religious persecution. The desire for wealth and power fueled by curiosity, caused others to pick up their bags and move to new lands. There were certain select people from various people groups intentionally did not or could not travel due to their gender, their socioeconomic status, or even their culture.

At every complex society, there is always a religion of some sort and there is most definitely a complex Religion

From the beginning of time, people all over the world have wondered where we come from, what our divine purpose in life is, and what we can expect after death. Questions about right and wrong, society and government, and nature and the cosmos, are some of the few wonders that ultimately created some of the earliest philosophies and religions, helping people find peace and explanation to the vast curiosity that still troubles us in modern times. From a technical standpoint, religion is defined as an everlasting devotion to a recognized higher being or entity, through a personal or formed practice of belief. Philosophy on the other hand, refers to the particular study of common

When I was younger, me and family went to visit my grandpas sister in her village, it was a poor rural village near like a mountain/hill type of thing. So..

A civilization is born through the domestication of plants and animals followed by the cultivation of these products in which a surplus allows for the specialization of labor. Civilizations allowed for humans to create order and pursue intellectual and spiritual matters to a degree in which man had not previously been allowed. Most ancient civilizations arose from a fertile farming location and predictable harvest. When basic needs have been provided for the specialization of labor can provide a culture a chance at endless artistic and technological advances. An analysis of the characteristics of civilization demonstrates common threads which connect the ancient societies of Sumeria, Egypt, and the Indus River Valley. Many of these connections can be found within each civilization’s religion, government, location, language, trade, and technology.

In spite of this, the world (as we know it) is quickly changing. For an ever increasing number of people worldwide, philosophies and beliefs that were considered indescribable are now becoming more straightforwardly clarified by the seemingly infinite amounts of data we continue to gather as we work towards refining our perceptions and interpretations of the world around us. We are becoming increasingly (albeit, uncomfortably for some) cognizant that, even if our religions provided us with a preliminary position for contemplating how our world works, they no longer function as a definitive source of answers or rationalizations. Organized religions, in fact, have left more of a wake of destruction in their historical path.

It is obvious that human beings ever since have had disagreements on certain things in their life, and sometimes those differences went deep until even became great wars. The wars have affected their way of life usually had terrible consequences on them. Religion is one those arguments on which people in different societies did not agree, and usually different societies practiced different religions. Basically, religion formed their ways of life, and it controlled the pre-modern world societies. Sometimes, it had good effects on them in terms of war, for instance, almost all of the world religions have encouraged some sort of peace so that their followers should be peaceful in certain times, which was mostly at their religious events. However, religion most of the times were used for justification of an action or event in favor of certain people, and it was also used to practice some extreme ideologies and actions.
