Why is it continually inferred that the age of the "pagan"
religions, the time of worship of female deities, was dark
and chaotic, mysterious and evil, without the light of
order and reason that supposedly accompanied the later male
religions, when it has been archaeologically confirmed
that the earliest law, government, medicine, agriculture,
metallurgy, wheeled vehicles, ceramics, textiles and
written language were initially developed in societies
that worshipped the Goddess?
~Merlin Stone, When God was a Woman
from another fascinating and interesting book about
men and women, myths and religion and the written word-
The Alphabet versus The Goddess
by Leonard Shlain.
