3.1. About Early Kingdoms and Empires
Some 11,700 years ago an abrupt climate warming put in motion a cascade of events that unleashed a deep destabilization of the life conditions that had prevailed over the past tens of thousands of years during which people had been living in tribal societies the world over. It was this destabilization that put in motion a societal chain reaction which ultimately set humanity on the long and tortuous path of civilization building.

First devastating societal blow in Late-Modernity (17)

How could humanity be bamboozled to unleash such a devastation on the principle of life ?
