This fable also shows how stupid domesticated dogs are and how they should be replaced by wolves, because wolves are much smarter. On top of this, pigs are even more intelligent than wolves, so maybe people should have pet pigs.  However, one cannot own wolves and pigs at the same time, as they do not get along, since wolves have a special fetish for bacon.  Maybe the reason people have pet dogs is that they are stupid and they’ll do anything you want them to.  But that’s just my radical conservative opinion.

I think Greece majorly helped the spread of Christianity with their localization of the known world making it easier to contact one place from another.  The Greek alphabet also helped the spread of Christianity as it was a language mostly known throughout the world (after Alexander the great) and it could express unseen terms.  The great boost in knowledge turn the Greek era also helped the spread of Christianity as people could now easier understand its teachings.

The Omalec was the first great civilization of the Americas.  Not much is known about Omalec everyday life other than the art.  The most commonly known artifacts are the very large stone heads, the largest being 3 meters across.  It’s believed that the Omalecs had a city states much like early Greece.  Religion must have been very influential in the Omalec civilization as they have great stone pyramids with Temples on top used for religious rituals.

A topic that I find very interesting is the history of the early Britain’s.  The Welsh Chronicles begin recording at the fall of Troy.  Anchises and his son, Aeneas, fled from Troy when it fell, to the area now known as Italy. In Italy they met with the people that lived there (ancestors of the Romans) people and settled with them Aeneas married Lavinia from which to came Brutus.  After accidentally killing both his parents Brutus was exiled from Italy.  From there he fled to Greece where he met with slaves that were captured from Troy.  After learning of his lineage they quickly rallied to Brutus and successfully overthrew their captors.  Now they put to the sea and sale that the Pillars of Hercules (now known as the straits of Gibraltar) they met with more Trojans.  Next they stopped in the land now known as France where they defeated the Picts who were living there at the time.  Again they set sail across the English channel landing at Totnes in Devon around the 12th century BC.  Then Bruce founded the city of Trinovantum (New Troy) which is now known as the London. From this point forward there is a long cession of kings (including Arthor) until the Romans invaded around 55 AD, decimating, the early Britons.

The Greek democracy would only work for a smaller scale city state and not for large country.  To get every citizen’s the position on a topic would be impractical for a large civilization.  For large country a republic (as in Rome) is much more practical, as only the elected few’s positions must be heard.
