378. Building pyramids caused ancient Egypt to form a representative government.
379. And then abandon it for a series of kingdoms and various dictatorships.

381) All extant civilizations just suddenly, magically decided to settle down in 4000 BC. This event is known as the "Dawn of Man"
382) The cities founded 6000 years ago at the so-called "Dawn of Man" are generally the biggest and most powerful cities to the present day.

383. The Dutch were really advanced seeing as they had steam power in the Middle Ages.
384. Japan can't be one of the world's largest coal importers as they can only burn oil shale, build dams, and hopefully one day stop using nuclear engergy to produce electricity.
385. All theaters are outdoors, and are built in the Greek style.

Well, that explains a lot. But what about the male population? How did they use ivory to give themselves some dirty, inmoral pleasure?

What do you think piano keys were made from? The white ones were ivory. So, your civ gets happier with ivory because they can all play the piano and go dancing.

And now they can have false teeth as well.

And when the ivory expired after industrialism and they then discovered plastics, they started building pianos with plastic keys.

And yet only ivory keyed pianos make people happy. They stay sad if the keys are made from plastic.
391. Venison is healthier if it comes from a mall or supermarket. (Although I have never been able to find it at my supermarket.
392. Ships never have to return to port.
393. Lots of people must have bathed in Suleiman's glory in order for him to be called "the Magnificent."

Not sad. Just indifferent.

Coal plants (or shale plants, for that matter) cause ten times more deaths. Yes, they are less obvious than death of radiation, but they happen. Nuclear power may SEEM very dangerous, but actually it's quite innocent.
Exactly HOW many nuclear plants did explode in +- 30 years of nuclear power use?
394. Machine gunners are incapable of killing warriors. The warriors have to attack the machine gunners first.
395. Stone is used for nothing else than wonder building and corporations. Stone houses? Don't let me laugh. They are made of grass.
396. If a rifleman batallion of say 1000 soldiers, in the middle of enemy lands, gets attacked and loses 500 man, those dead soldiers will miraculously revive if you wait long enough.

Calendar "healing" times often reflect about 15 to 25 years, so obviously what a healing unit is doing is rebreeding a new generation of soldiers from women taken captive in local farm houses. They spend a year or two teaching the new recruits how to shoot.
