Paleolithic Times- Religion
The set of religious and spiritual believes is thought to have emerged during the
Paleolithic- old stone- age. The Stone Age religion is thought to have consisted of both religious
beliefs and practices that were in a particular way were a way of revering a superior being, spirits
and deities (Klingender, 1954).
One significant area that is known for such paintings is Bru, in Boinne, with spiral symbols
dominantly used to paint a ‘female-like god.’ My choosing of this symbol was due to the ancient
perception of who women were- channels through which the society extended. May be the
society living at the time of this picture thought of their god in a similar way- a superior being on
which they depended on for all of their needs.

Bronze Age in Mesopotamia
Regarded as an earliest agricultural site, Mesopotamian societies grew into true
civilizations between 5000 and 3500 BCE. The development and increased use of bronze in the
region came at a time of great innovation and turbulence in equal measure (Nicholas, 2018).
Maybe, this could be the explanation behind the Hammurabi law code, in which we find the
picture inscribe below.
I chose this symbol due to the unsurpassed value found in the Hammurabi Law Code.
Much of the information obtained from the code is highly consistent with the information
furnished to us by any other external source(s). The picture is a depiction of what was the status
of women in the society is. Women were did not have public life then, they were just but agents
of reproduction, longevity of the society and maintenance of the household.
