Human and Humanity
STONE AGE
During this period, man made stone,bone and wooden tools and used them for hunting and protection.
METAL AGE
During this period,man began to make tools by melting various metals,from which man learned the art of hunting and making weapons for his own protection.
IRON AGE
The iron age is actually the age that played a major role in the development of man to this day and it continues to this day.The beginning of this period encouraged humans to move out of the forests and into settlements in oases and plains.This age of iron continues to this day.
HUMAN SOCIETY
Man's development took him out of the jungle and settled him in settlements and gradually societies began to emerge.In the beginning whose race was in the hands of women.
When humans left the forest and settled in the settlements,the form of a regular society began to emerge.Laws began to be made to run life.The role of the tribal chief was transferred to the king.the king's responsibilities were to deal with internal disputes,working for the good of the people.Crush the rebels and save their people from external wars and dangers.
Whereas if a king used his power to seize the lands of others and plunder their property of his country,he would be highly praised.Other nations and peoples were subjugated by force and forced to obey.There was no fixed period of reign for the king.Often the kingdom was inherited by the eldest son at the death of the father and by his son at his death.
Challenging the king's power was considered a sin and religion and religious powers were used to make the king the incarnation of God on earth.In all this matter,the common people had no rights,no voice,no constitution of any kind.If the king was good,everything would be good,and if the was cruel,there would be stories of oppression everywhere.

Three or four hundred years ago,in the world,personal governments,religious governments,military governments,kingdoms,tribal states and urban states are visible.The king had a monopoly on weapons and the religious leaders had a monopoly on knowledge.The king and the religious leader had a nexus and they used their resources to strengthen each other.Their strength was due to each other.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STATE
As a child,you may have heard stories from your grandmothers about the merciful king and the tyrant king.And the word subject will not be new for you.The people were either pleased of or angry with the king,but they did not have the power to do anything against the king,because,they did not choose the king but the king ruled over them by the force of his military power.So people always look for another good king or divine help.That is why we see persecution in our stories.
