“Before their culture mysteriously faded, the Cucuteni-Trypillians had organized into large settlements. Predating the Sumerians and Egyptian settlements, these were basically proto-cities with buildings often arranged in concentric circles...”

....the abundant female statuettes are gracious and mask-free, with tattooed bodies and long feet.”

“every some 60-80 years they would sacrifice whole cities by intentionally burning thousands of their houses. Then they would move to create another settlement.”
Hmmm. “Can’t we just get along?”
