As was the case with most, if not all early civilisations, there has been Spirit & God worship, which became part of its folklore & mythology, such as with the Egyptian, Roman & Mayan societies who made offerings or sacrifices to their gods; or to the spirit of a place. Mankind believed in having the power to control the world around them, most societies ruled by the sword, the survival of the fittest, conquer or be conquered. Imagine then, the power of nature; earthquakes which brought down the buildings around them, that made the very ground tremble, or of the erupting volcano, its lava flows destroying all in its path; and the awesome power of the sea, as tidal waves washed away countl ess coastal commun ities. As mankind held no sway over this natural phenome non, he could not harness it, or command it. It must, therefore, be due to a stronger invisible power, supernatural beings, whose power was beyond anything mankind could possess. Obviously these supernatural beings had to be treated with respect, less their terrible wrath be wreaked upon mankind.
The belief in Spirits was to a large extent nurtured by individuals having psychic powers, who at times would have Clairvoyant or Clairaudient experiences, being able to see & hear Spirit, and was common to all ancient civilisations, being incorporated into their own folklore & mythology, as commented on by the Greek historian Herodotus( c484 – 432 BC). Great importance was attached to the visions and sayings of those with psychic powers, and they were consulted to ascertain not only future events, but also on the will of the Gods, as those with the“” were thought to have been inspired through the Gods themselves. Mankind believed in the existence of supernatural beings who commanded respect, and needed to be appeased, less mankind suffer their wrath. Ritual sacrifice took place in an attempt to communicate with their Gods, as well as honouring the many sacred places where these Spirits & Gods where deemed to reside. That people with a“ psychic powers” is well documented, and were in turn were treated with awe and respect, as they were deemed as having the“ gift” from the gods themsel ves.
Mankind believed in having the power to control the world around them, most societies ruled by the sword, the survival of the fittest, conquer or be conquered.
However, as we evolved humank ind became very invent ive, tools such as the plough, the water wheel, the wheel itself were invented, not only making everyday tasks easier, they became more productive, thus more control was gained over the environm ent around them, they cold to certain extent predict and control some aspects of nature, hence the art of science was born.
