Interesting. I wonder if matriarchy is better than patriarchy.

@iamelijah Its not.The best situation is where the most talented,ethical and experienced people rule-no matter what sex they are.

@DavidT8899 Indeed. But even in these days men vs women still become debatable to be a leader. It just sad to me that my gender/sex becomes obstacles in life.

@iamelijah "The Etruscans
The first group on our list, the Etruscans, lived in modern-day Tuscany. The majority of the population were farmers who would trade with nearby regions, like Carthage and Greece. Although early historians were not confident that Etruscans engaged in human sacrifice, recent excavations revealed multiple sites of human sacrifice.
In particular, the bodies of multiple individuals including adults, children, and infants were found surrounded by religious items including an altar, ritualistic weapons, and other religious objects. In one discovery, the body of a young child was found decapitated, with his feet being used as a foundation deposit under a wall. In addition to these discoveries, ancient texts describing the practice of human sacrifice, as well as artwork depicting human sacrifice, have been found in this region."
Ancient Origins
I can't actually find a reference to my own memory of this, so I will concede that perhaps I read something fictional. But I do remember that what I read involved the Minoans, and a female snake cult...and they carried their perversions to Spain and later to Britain, where they were overthrown.
