[Survival in the Wilderness] + [Building City-States] + [The Rise of Civilization]
In the primeval age, under the vast heavens and earth, humanity was as insignificant as ants, crawling beneath the claws of savage beasts and the blows of natural disasters. They ate raw meat and lived from day to day, never knowing if they would see tomorrow.
A soul from a later age was born into this benighted land, with nothing but a crude stone ax in his hand.
He was no born king, but in the depths of despair, he kindled the first undying flame for his people.
He taught them to recognize the five grains and tame the six domestic animals, driving famine from their land.
He led them to build cities and establish rites and music, freeing humanity from ignorance and giving it the shape of civilization.
Together with his people, he faced raging floods, bone-chilling glaciers, bloodthirsty beasts, and foreign tribes watching them like predators.
From a small tribe of a dozen or so people to a city-state crisscrossed by roads and bustling with commerce;
from a crude stone ax to the dawn of a thriving civilization, with bronze ringing and every trade flourishing.
Together with countless vibrant members of his people, he composed an epic on this primeval land, chronicling humanity’s journey from ignorance to glory, and forged a city-state legend that would endure through the ages.
