The Dawn Of An Ancient New Society

In 10660BC, there was a great war. Many small villages all sent their men and young boys to fight in this war. It was a sort of mass uprising.

Many of these small tribes where being attacked and plundered by a bigger tribe in the south.

And so the rest of the tribes, who weren’t exactly friendly with each other, decided that enough was enough.

Their chiefs all got together in an unprecedented meeting
