Civilization Without Military, Kings, Priests or Religion
Each new civilization erases the previous civilization often by burning their bony remains.
I tend to believe Ceylon had 3 civilizations.
I won't elaborate all three types for fear of recrimination.
I believe that the civilization I describe below had even come to Ceylon.
Our archaeologists deliberately have destroyed their artifacts.
Instead, I will describe the Harappan and Mohenjo Jaro civilization.
It was in existence in parallel with Sumerians in the west and they traded with Sumerians.
They evolved 3500 years BC and were the bronze age people.
They had left seals or baked tablets and bronze artifacts.
Their alphabet or language is somewhat similar to Sumerians.
Their real name is unknown but the name given by the modern historians in relation to the current village names.
Therefore, I name them as Indus Valley Civilization.
Hindus refer to them as Sarasvathi Civilization.
They were the first to make baked bricks.
If they did not baked the bricks this civilization could have come to existence, peaked and disappeared leaving no trace for us to talk about.
Features of this civilization are.
1. No army or military.
Practiced loving kindness.
2. No priests or religion of note.
This establishes my view that one need NO religion to bring moral or civil values.
Religion in human history is a modern phenomenon or late development.
No places of worship were recorded.
3. No king or hierarchy to exert control over the civil population.
The principles that probably governed them were;
No killing and no military.
No stealing and no penal code.
No adultery and therefore harmony.
No lying to its members.
4. They loved the mother nature both animals and plants.
5. Practiced good sanitation.
Why the decline?
1. Environmental catastrophe.
Floods
Droughts
Fires
2. Over population.
3. Pandemics including malaria.
4. Pre-aryans destroyed them
Later Aryans did the finishing touch.
5. Deforestation due to brick baking.
