  4. #TIL #BronzeAge #gods included #Abzu the #FreshWater source of #Life. #Sumerians circa 1100bc believed Abzu was the font of existence. The #environment was all they had. They revered it.

  5. I'm seeing quite a lot of people talk about how the #coronation of #KingCharles is a relic of #feudalism

    I question this, and not just because kings have been around since the #Sumerians if not earlier.

    My sense is that historians don't tend to refer to feudalism, instead discussing #vassalage and #manorialism as separate institutions. Certainly manorialism continued in #Ireland until we gained '#independence even after vassalage was mostly done away with.

    Any #historians want to correct me?
