 *  By: Dantae George, Antonio Rosenella, Michael Gutierrez **

 Like their Stone Age ancestors, most ancient people were polytheistic. The priests and worshipers sought to gain the favor of the gods through rituals (Ellis and Esler, 1997).   Almost always, rulers claimed that their right to rule came from the gods. At first, priests had the greatest power. In time warrior kings took over, and became more powerful rulers. As cities grew the supply for food needed to be steady and therefore called for a more powerful ruler (Ellis and Esler, 1997).
