Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Agree with the bonus panel.
Also: Just because we don't know any religions or famous people from before that time, doesn't mean that they didn't exist, just that we don't know about them. The further away you are from a point, the less details you can make out. This is completely normal.
Blaming this on population density and urbanization might not be wrong, but it can't be all there is to it. I think.
David Graeber's "Debt" goes to some extent about this,
He traces philosophy back to a few factors such as urbanization, imperialism (i.e. Greece, India and China were great empires at that time) and the advent of coinage at the time (which allegedly was a way ro finance armies and finance more imperialism)
