OK .Then back to the original post.
Maybe the world wasnt divided into east/west but into two groups or civilizations which continue on to this day.
Maybe these two groups are the SPIRITUALISTS and the MATERIALISTS.
I agree with the crop growing fertility cults,but tend to believe that its possible that they were seconday.
These were cults which just lived in harmony with the planet,in a sense as a lower being,while the other two,the SPIRITUALISTS and MATERIALISTS ,being of much higher intellect,did other things.
From these two groups,the other cults learned,or were forced to learn or coerced to learn.
There could be a possibility of the SPIRITUALISTS and the MATERIALISTS being ONE group at first and then because of differences,possibly battle,splitting into two groups which then spread their knowledge throughout the planet.
Maybe this war continues.
