             The Barbarians from sumeria and egyptian homeland eventually branched out to other parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Most people still lived in a prehistoric age after the agricultural revolution. Every one thought of these people to be slaves and theives. A Barbarian is a term used to describe the distinctive way of life based on farming, warfare, and tribal organization that became widespread in Europe beginning around 2500 B.C. Before this, peoples lives were advancing rapidly. In 4000 B.C farming and villages had come with an increase . By 3500 B.C came a higher population and wealth. People started becoming more independant from their tribes. A tribe is a social and politica, unit consisting of a group of communities held together by common intrests, traditions and real or mythical ties and kinship.
As population and wealt increased, more stucture of political and religious uses started popping. They had money to trade for resources, and the people to build it. These stuctures are called maglithic stucturs and some are still standing today. A megalithic structure is a massive rough-cut stone to construct tombs and monuments. Languages and common sense started to show with the barbarians. Armies and massive governments were formed. Rituals for burial were extreme. Still the main business of life was farming. Groups of villages or farmsteads formed tribes and trade was exploded with different tribes. Tribes formed relationships with kings or queens for battle.
