What would life had been like in the earliest cities? How do

>>3053835
There was no specialization pretty much.

>>3053842
Do you think it was mostly just for protection then, that these people stayed together? Rather than economic cooperation?

>>3053835
Priests led the adminstrative duties while the warrior-class worried about safety.

>>3053845
Some of the reaaallly old ones from like 6000 b.C didn't even seemed to have temples, tho some houses did had more presumably religious symbols than others.

>>3053844
Yeah. Literally just shelter.

>>3053835
I want more videogames set in these kinds of settings.

>>3053868
In 100 identical houses only accessible from the top?

Some places clearly were shrines

>>3053893
They would of been fairly irregular. Also it would make for a nice management game

morrowind has cities like that

smelly and cramped

>>3053973
So basically like modern cities

>>3053979

More cramped than Bangladesh and smellier Paris

>>3053987
Well, "smellier" is probably a quality that goes progressively up the further down history you go.

Plague, shit, starvation, misery, plague. Hunter gatherers have historically actually been healthier than their urbanized counterparts, it's just that agricultural societies are able to zerg rush the Hunter Gatherers

Well from what archeologists are able to tell is that in those early towns people just dumped their garbage and shit in allies and open spaces

>>3054002

Not this bs again

>>3054003
So, mostly around the city I'd imagine, since there wasn't much in the way of "open space" inside of it.

>>3054016

No like they found it dumped in a pile in between houses when they could
