The Nahua also provide a good look at patriarchy and civilization:
They are the most recent example on the list in historical and cultural terms, and not just terms of Mesoamerica, in terms of history in general. The Aztec Empire was the last phase of the great Mesoamerican civilizations, as their own sources note with the history of the great migration and the rise of the Triple Alliance and the great cities. They were one of many dispersions of Uto-Aztecan peoples. Women were not equal in Aztec society at ideological or real world levels, and there was an ideology of misogyny baked into the religion and into the practical manifestations of that civilization.
Why does this matter? Because in a case of something as close to vacuum sealed as possible, Mesoamerican and Andean civilizations still developed all the oppressive trappings of all other civilizations. Great cities, great armies, the oppressive iron fist....and patriarchy. It makes both the inseparable connection between patriarchy and civilization inarguable, and delineates the pitfalls in seeking to recreate the Garden of Eden and the Fall in a secular guise.
Patriarchy has many origins and appeared at multiple times in multiple fashions. Here is my answer to its rise and to why it repeatedly appears in specific contexts across the world.

IILÁNTECQUU'NAI
From Kingdom Of The Kaiju
Wife of Arenathor, daughter of The Tenokatec Tribe, The Mouth Of Ahnandraukon. A cunning and skillful orator who's rhetoric is unmatched. Announcing fourth the allfather's will to his subjects. Railing against the so called "extremist elements" who stand in the way of the Æseir's rightful dominion over the earth. Helping to indoctrinate the next generation of "the true sons and daughters of man" to become loyal servants to the Kaiju. Looking above to the titans as their beloved saviors.
Despite her background as a warrior, she’s adjusted well to life outside the battlefield. A gifted speaker who knows how to seize the hearts of whomever she meets. Wielding words as she once did her spear, a powerful weapon that can change the tide of war.
Strong willed and domineering, llántecquu’nai, finds herself clashing with her equally stubborn husband. Both thundering spirits filled with untamable energy and passion. She’s a tough mother who presides over her children with an iron fist. Obsessed with their public image as a family. Because of their prominence they must set a good example for all the empire. Regardless of her faults she is loyal beyond doubt. Sticking by her husband’s side through every victory and defeat. Teaching her children to be noble and selfless.

Hallo! I am not online for Lent! So don’t send me requests! I won’t see them!
Today You Learned about Zelia Nuttall!
Born in 1857, Nuttall was an American scholar who specialized in Pre-Columbian Mexican history and culture. After her first marriage ended, she moved to Mexico with her mom’s family for a bit, which is when she picked up an interest in Mexican history. In 1886 she published her first paper on Mexican artifacts. She started making friends with local scholars, and learned Nahuatl, the pre-Columbian language of the Mexica Empire.
After her publication, she moved to Germany, where Nuttall worked for years digging up scholarship on Mexican history. She ended up discovering some Aztec codices in private collections. And then! She translated and published them so that everyday people who didn’t know Nahuatl could read them.
Like, no, she wasn’t the perfect scholar in every way–she thought that the indigenous Mexicans were descended from Phoenicians, of all things–but she was really darn good, a leading scholar in a time when female scholars were not considered a pretty rare thing in the field. And it’s worth noting that she thought, and published these thoughts, that Mesoamerican culture was important to know about. That it wasn’t just a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians, this was a complex culture, and one which has a lot of knowledge worth preserving for future generations.
And that’s pretty darn cool.
Also apparently D.H. Lawrence stayed in her Mexican mansion one time, which is… interesting.

I'm researching a lot of historical cultures and I think that another part of old human experience was taking a look at ones teeth and saying "lets change them to look cooler"
#dyeing teeth black in japan#women dyeing teeth red in aztec culture#vikings and also aztecs filing their teeth#tudor royalty brushing their teeth with sugar to flex that coin#honestly good for them#fuck them little mouth bones up completely#oh and also teeth piercings in some cultures

Fuck I reached 30 tags I guess that got us rambling
For full context I guess read those first cuz I'm not putting all that here again
We got started on mythology and bitch were not close to being done
What I was about to put in another tag was:
I'm interested but I'm not gonna read scientific papers on mythology sorry Africa and Oceania...
European is just the easiest to come by and most relatable mythology. Being. A filthy European.
Although I'd love to hear more shit about mythologies that are more exotic to us
And no. I don't mean japanese. That's barely exotic at this point.
No I'm not reading journey to the west again either.
I could go on for so long honestly I fucking love mythology with a passion I wish I had more energy and patience to get deeper into it
But yeah no I'm not sitting down reading research papers or ancient texts that aged horribly for hundreds of hours
At least not with these mental illnesses I'm not
i made a character uquiz. i 100% promise you that you will get a character you know AND like
#THERES SO MANY COOL RESULTS AND YOU GIMME NICK CAGE#MOTHERFUCK-#i hate this#theres literally morgan le fay in there#AND MEDEA#listen who the fuck even knows who medea is#i do#thats the fuck who#and i did not get her#BUT NICOLAS CAGE#OKAY BITCH#I HAVE NEVER PLANNED A PERFECT MURDER BEFORE BUT OH IT IS ON NOW#PREPARE TO FACE THE WRATH OF A WOMAN THAT LOVES EVIL MYTHICAL (and historical) WOMEN#i will drain your blood into a tub and take a nice bath in it#i will string you up on the high gates of babylon#i will throw you into the depths of irkalla and judge you to eternal death#you will long for the pain of tartarus#nothing heracles has endured will hold a candle to your suffering#(ah shit referenced greek mythology twice already? fuck im getting out of practice...)#i will show you why we fancy the name of Nemesis#...okay listen greek and mesopotamian mythology are just the most interesting ones.#greek is the most popular so just easy to come by greek mythology content#and mesopotamian is just the oldest mythology that we have decemt records of as far as im aware#i like other stuff too but its harder to find stuff about it#and tbh chinese and japanese would be the next easiest but i just cant connect with them as well#(despite being a fucking weeb)#celtic is hard to get started on and so is nordic and slavic#then native american inca aztec etc are hard to relate for us again. somehow just doesnt click#indian is kinda neat. should get more into that#a lot of stuff from africa oceania etc is neat but near impossible to come by without actively looking
