Archaeologists have concluded that religion is the main impetus for city building. [Spirituality & Religion]

@Bagalamaga I don't know about more advanced. 12,000 years ago they hadn't even invented pottery.

@Nika2002 Pottery first came about when people used clay to make pottery around 6000 B.C. at the beginning of the Neolithic period.
