Just because something makes sense doesn't make it true. That is why I included the source which argues the point. Also, I am saying it might not be true.

Am not saying you are wrong or right, just that the commonly accepted theory makes a lot of sense.

Also it isn't really reasonable to vaguely state something which is contrary to common knowledge and "cite"/recommend an entire 700 page book. Imo, you should at least make concrete statements which are possible to dispute and optimally include page numbers like Wikipedia most often does. But I understand that that is out of scope of a simple comment

Also I find it a bit weird when you want a government but without politicians. Doesn't a government pretty much per definition need politicians or should the government be run like a company with a bunch of bosses or something?

But yeah it would absolutely be interesting to research how people did governments and everything else in the past. Historians

Yes, it does make a lot of sense. Though, I will be happy if it gets proven wrong.

Totally! It's always great when we learn new things!

I would be surprised if it was possible to prove with certainty something human (I.e not a science) that long ago though. Or at least I think we would have done it already if there was text or anything definite to go on.

Let's hope there are some hidden undiscovered treasures of history out there, so that we may one day learn more about our ancestors.
