In fact, these people with such a backward civilization also have their own stories. Let’s take a look:

In fact, these are the descendants of the group of ancestors we talked about a long time ago who lived in the desert. About four thousand years ago, almost all of them lived on the Arabian Peninsula, which was completely desert. In order to survive, they traveled

Following the sheep, they walked from one oasis to another.

In the north of the Arabian Peninsula, the arc-shaped area from the two river basins to the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea is like a crescent, and is called the Fertile Crescent. There is abundant water, fertile land, and lush vegetation, especially the Palestinian area on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

It is also called the land flowing with milk and honey. And these ancestors are a branch of what we modern people call the Semitic people, that is, the Israelites. In order to seize this land, the Semitic tribes had to fight against the people who lived there.

The Canaanites here fought a great battle and were severely defeated.

Around 1,700 BC, due to severe drought, the Semitic people drove their flocks to the edge of the prosperous Egyptian Empire. They received preferential treatment from the Hyksos who ruled Egypt at that time, and then lived there.

The Nile Delta area transformed nomadic people into agricultural people.

After the Semites came to the edge of the Egyptian Empire, they lived a stable life for hundreds of years. However, unexpectedly, the Egyptians living in the upper reaches of the Nile River defeated the Hyksos and drove them out of Egypt. The so-called city gate fire

, bringing disaster to the pond, the Semitic people's status plummeted, and they became slaves. In 1300 BC, the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II was extremely extravagant, built a lot of construction, built magnificent palaces, and forced the Semitic people to do hard work.

Construction and transportation work. Decades later, Ramses died of illness. Barbarians and pirates around Egypt invaded, burned, killed and looted. However, the Semites, led by their leaders, took the opportunity to cross the Red Sea and fled Egypt. And passed by

After many migrations, they came to Palestine and settled down.

In addition to the Canaanites, there was also a group of Philistines who migrated from the sea in Palestine at that time. In order to survive, the Semites launched fierce battles with these two nations, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

Many years later, one day in 1,000 BC, the Semites, led by King Saul, confronted the Philistines in a valley. At this time, a man named Felix came out of Felix's camp.

Goliath was a strong man. I saw that he was tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. He was wearing armor and holding a spear. He came to the Semitic camp, pointed his spear at the Semitic people and said: Come on, Semitic people! Come and join me.

Fight to the death! If you defeat me, we Philistines will all be your slaves. If I defeat you, you must become our slaves.

When the Semitic people saw Goliath's height, they were very afraid. No one dared to fight him. Even the leader of the Semitic people, Saul, was fearful. For several days, Goliath was calling for battle in front of the Semitic military camp.

, the Philistines also cheered, and cursed the Semites who did not dare to fight as cowards. The Semites were ashamed and angry, but no one dared to fight.

At this time, a Semitic shepherd boy named David came to deliver food to his three brothers in the military camp. After hearing Goliath's yelling and cursing, he asked his brother what was going on. And David listened.

The brother's story made him very angry, and he said: What is there to be afraid of! Let me go and fight, kill that arrogant big man, and destroy the prestige of the Philistines!

King Saul said to him: You are still a child, and Goliath is a strong man. You can't defeat him! Then David said contemptuously: There is nothing to be afraid of. When I was tending the sheep, a lion came.

After eating my sheep, I killed him with my bare hands. Is Goliath more powerful than a lion? King Saul was very surprised after hearing this, so he agreed to David's fight against Goliath tomorrow.

The next morning, David went to the river to pick up five warm stones, took his shepherd's staff and a stone whip, and walked to Goliath, who was calling for battle in front of the Semitic army camp. And Goliath saw the Semitic army.

The tribesmen actually sent a shepherd boy to fight. They couldn't help laughing, and then said to David: Are all your Semitic people dead? Why did you send a shepherd boy to fight? If you don't want to die,

Let’s go back to tending the sheep! The other Philistines also laughed, but David said: You attack me with spears, but I attack you with God.

Goliath shouted loudly, waved his spear, and then rushed towards David. But David calmly took out a goose-warming stone, put it on the sling whip, and then swung it with all his strength, and with a whoosh!

The warm stone flew out like a meteor and hit Goliath on the forehead. Goliath suddenly started bleeding profusely, screamed, and fell to the ground dead. The Philistines were shocked, but the Semites took the opportunity to rush out and won a great victory.

.

Later, Saul unfortunately died in battle, and after discussion, the Semitic elders elected David, who was from the Jewish tribe, as the Jewish king of Israel.

After David became king, he led his army to unexpectedly capture a Canaanite town called Jebus from a sewer made of stone, and renamed it Jerusalem. The meaning of these four words is: City of David or

It is the city of peace. Eventually, this town of Jerusalem was regarded as the capital of the Jewish Kingdom of Israel.

Another thing is that David sat in the position of king for a total of forty years and defeated many surrounding nations, because David's thoughts were actually the same as those of the Egyptian pharaohs, mainly against

They are very good people, but if they are good to their own people, they need a lot of resources to feed them, which requires more slaves to create resources for them. But in any case, at this time, the kingdom of David, the Jewish king,

It is very vast, and it can also be said that it was very prosperous.

In fact, in the end, David's ruling thinking also led to the resistance of the surrounding countries, because the people of the surrounding countries were their slaves, so many civilians fled from Jerusalem during the years of resistance wars.

It just so happens that here right now is a group of fugitives from Jerusalem. They have found a paradise, that is, a place far away from the coast. However, because they have lost the way of life under the imperial system, they have no choice in technology or other aspects of life.

In all aspects, it has begun to degrade, and even after generations of degradation, it has become like this now.

Therefore, when the nomadic people saw this group of people wearing animal skins and holding spears with stone tips and wooden tips, it was not an exaggeration to think that they had discovered an alien race, because this group of nomads had always

Living around a large-scale construction like the Empire, where have you seen humans like this?

But the nomadic people did not show any kindness to the people who were the descendants of this group. They killed too many of them with very cruel methods. In the end, some of them were left. This is according to the empire.

That kind of management style has become the slave of their nomadic people.

It can also be said that the current settled life of this nomadic people is still very good. After all, there are slaves who grow food for them and even raise sheep for them. Of course, there are also beautiful slave girls for them to enjoy. So this group of nomadic people

People like this place very much. They no longer have to worry about being attacked by the Egyptian Empire every day. They enjoy their wonderful life in this paradise.

Then we look at the nomads in another place, and we have to start from the beginning. Around 2000 BC, the nomads from Central Asia went south, entered the middle reaches of the Indus River, and conquered the local indigenous people of Daro.

The Dravidians. These conquerors have fairer skin and claim to be Aryans. The word Aryan probably means noble birth. This can be used to distinguish the Dravidians who have darker skin.

However, because the Aryans have a natural sense of racial superiority, they regard the darker-skinned Dravidians as an inferior race. In addition, the Aryans themselves have a relatively serious divide between rich and poor, which gradually

The caste system was formed in India. The word caste means color or quality in Sanskrit. Later, this caste system was combined with Hinduism.

In fact, I suddenly remembered that we have talked about this caste system in some detail before, but here we continue to talk, that is, we talk about the causes and results of this matter in more detail, which we have just talked about

The causes of the caste system in India, and then we will probably talk about the results.

The current original indigenous people of India are the Dravidians. Under this caste system, the Dravidians are divided into four castes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras. The former one

Castes are higher than the latter castes, and their rights, obligations, and occupations are different.

Brahmins are the sacrificial class. They are the monk class born among the Aryans. They hold divine power, preside over sacrifices, and are responsible for divination of blessings and misfortunes. They have the highest social status and can dominate everything. The Kshatriyas are the military aristocrats of the Aryans, including the king.

Warriors and officials at all levels control all powers in the country except divine power and are secular rulers. Therefore, Brahmins and Kshatriyas are high-level castes and belong to the ruling class. They occupy most of the wealth in society and rely on

Exploiting the other two castes for a living.

The Vaishyas are the middle and lower class of the Aryans. They are ordinary workers. They can also be said to be civilians among the Aryans. They are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, handicrafts, and commerce. They are free people, that is, they must submit to the state.
