With the more rapid disappearance of the tundra shelf in the Caucasus Mountain region in Southern Russia by 5000 BCE, the Aryan Kurgan People, living under the ecological stress they experienced while trapped on the ice shelf they perforce called home, were able to migrate and maraud west, south and east. They brought with them their barbarian ways of rigid male-centered hierarchy, subjugation of human women and herd females, and worship of warrior violence, and with it, an attendant death worship and objectivity.<br /><br />Concomitantly the rising temperatures and steady salinization of irrigation waters widely employed in the flourishing neolithic cultures of Old Europe, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures caused widespread crop failure and loss of agricultural production, resulting in another climatically induced stressor causing social upheaval, again leading to a transformation in society from the natural, women-centered, non-hierarchical civilization of the Paleo, Meso and Neolithic to a warrior-, violence- and male-centered hierarchical one.<br /><br />Exit the Goddess Civilization, Enter Sargon I, II, and III.<br /><br />The last 5000 years have been so marked as the sharks took over the goldfish pond.
