There are many patterns and similarities between different ancient civilizations. Unfortunately remnants of many ancient civilizations lay in ruin and we are left to piece the puzzle back together. However remnants of these civilizations point to a society that was advanced in its own unique way. Although many of these civilization where unique in their own way, many civilizations shared the same values and patterns. For instance many civiliations have megalitic sites, paid homages to the immortal gods. Many societies had similar rituals for marriage, death, baptism, etc. Many societies valued Gold and Gems. Many societies worshipped the serpent. All this is very interesting considering that some of these civilizations where seperated by oceans. Why did these civilization's although unique share some many similarities with others. The dominant anthropological view is that the first civilization emerged 6000 years ago in Sumeria and grew outward from there. Yet many parallels can be drawn from this civilization and transatlantic civilizations in terms of customs and rituals.
