STUFF LIKE LAND ALLOTMENTS, SKILLED LABOR ORGANIZATION, KINGS DECREES ABOUT MAINTAINING CLEANLINESS IN CITIES ETC
THE DUMBED DOWN HISTORICAL NARRATIVE PRESENTED BY ENLIGHTENMENT THINKERS WAS BASICALLY PICREL
THE ENLIGHTENERS WERE PICKING UP FROM WHERE THE SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS CLASSICAL PHILOSOPHERS LEFT OFF DUE TO THE REGRETTABLE FALL OF ROME
AND TO LEARN THAT ITS JUST FACTUALLY WRONG, THAT ITS NOT EVEN AN OPINION COLORING HISTORICAL REALITY TO SUIT AN IDEOLOGY BUT ITS JUST FICTION -- WAS MY START INTO HISTORICAL REVISIONISM
