Evidence
from the 1250 B.C. battle at the Tollense Valley changes that idea.
“Before the 1990s, ‘for a long time we didn’t
really believe in war in prehistory,’ DAI’s Hansen says. The grave goods were
explained as prestige objects or symbols of power rather than actual weapons. ‘Most
people thought ancient society was peaceful, and that Bronze Age males were concerned
with trading and so on,’ says Helle Vandkilde, an archaeologist at Aarhus
University in Denmark. ‘Very few talked about warfare.’”
Who
is the archaeologist talking about when he says “most people thought ancient
society was peaceful”? People with advanced degrees? People who have
preconceived ideas that ancient man never practiced war because he was busy
raising crops and kids?
An
archaeologist at a site in Bulgaria said he was surprised to discover the ancient
people had class divisions, rich and poor. Because of his studies and
preconceptions, he thought all ancient peoples worked together for a common
goal.
People
have not changed all that much since God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden.
Methods change, but not the basic, God-given nature of people.
