This document discusses evidence that suggests women once ruled the world during a "golden age" of peace. It notes that artifacts from the Neolithic age show predominance of feminine images with no evidence of violence, in contrast to later periods when male gods and warrior imagery emerged. The text argues that men hiding women's opinions and ruling over them led to wars and violence. It cites scholars who first proposed the idea of a matriarchal period in ancient times and archaeological evidence, like an ancient city in Turkey with no fortifications or weapons, that supports women having held power long ago.
3. Since we first opened our eyes there was wars , killing , violence , there wasn¡¯t a day without thousands being killed all around the world because of wars , we got used to the idea that at any minute we our self's could be victims , a question has been on my mind since I first started to understand the world , why ? , there must be something wrong with the bases of our world.
4. What is wrong with the base of our world ? One word : men , almost half of the world are woman still most of our rulers ( or most of the people who lead the world )are men not woman. And woman leaders are not much accepted all around the world.
5. Did woman once rule the world ? Yes they did , it was known as the golden age , and it was also known to be a time of peace and good living: This is clearly seen in the contrast between the findings of the Neolithic age where we see a predominance of feminine images, and no evidence of warfare and violence. With the later iron age, where we find more than anything else images of war and violence, as well as the glorification of kings, rulers, conquest and wealth. Archaeologists in the iron age also find graves where people have clearly been put to death through violence. We also have the first myths of the hero who conquers other nations, as well as male gods who begin to lay down strict laws and punish those who dare to disobey them. BY WILLIAM BOND This paragraph talks about how did men ruling over woman and hiding the woman¡¯s opinion affected the world and lead it in to wars and violence .
6. The concept that women once ruled the world in ancient times is nothing new. It originated from a scholar called J.J Bachofen (1) in the 19th century. He brought together all the evidence of matriarchy in ancient times then available. He was strongly criticized for this by other scholars who dismissed and discredited his work.
7. In the 1960s a archaeologists called Mellaart lead a team to excavate a site in Anatolia in Turkey. This site turn out to be the oldest city ever discovered . Called Catal Huyuk it goes back over 9,000 years. What was discovered goes against all assumptions archaeologist have about people living in Neolithic times. They couldn't find any fortifications to defend the city nor any weapons of war. Neither could they find signs of violence committed on people buried in graves. It was also a city full of feminine imagery to the degree that Mellaart was forced to say that the people worshipped the Ancient Great Mother. BY WILLIAM BOND
8. The Wise Ones teach the golden or woman - rule age will reign for over 2000 years, until the year 4041 Honey-Comb Or Nine Months Men might have invented the internet but it's women who have really taken to it as a tool for communication.
9. The golden age is before us, not behind us. - William Shakespeare
10. Women won¡¯t start wars cause they know how a mother feels when she loses a child , a man might have strength more than a woman but that doesn¡¯t give him power. Wars started at the iron age where men ruled.
11. Many woman proved that ruling can be done without men for example take Elizabeth I of England she ruled as good as any man and did better than a lot of kings although she was a queen with no king.
