Ever since religion was transformed from beliefs
in magic to beliefs in poly-gods and then to a monogod,
the cultural civilization has applied religion
as the main tool of cultural control. Religious
and military forces were the foundations of the
power apparatus that maintained the society as a
governed entity. These forces civilized the society
and moved it into higher levels of organization.
Among cultural civilizations one can recognize
about 16 cases, such as:

• the Egyptian Civilization 3100 BCE,
• the Minoan 2700 BCE,
