Well India had some fascinating experiments with republics, long before the Europeans did. Seems interesting to me.

We all hear about great roman empire and Greeks.What do you know about Indian history or kings? There are evidence that Indian ancient history is also one of the oldest civilization. Before Rome, Greek may be near to Egypt. But does world talk about that? We hear ancient means Egypt, Mesopotamia. No one ever mention India. Why? Because we Indians are not interested in it. Who cares what they did? It was thousands years ago? Then why are you interested in Rome, Greece and Egypt? Indian ancient history also has all those forms of government, politics and technology. If we Indian are not interested than who will be. Tomorrow some foreigner will come and tell us about Indian ancient history. We think our society is based on roman culture, which is right. But go and read what Indian history is, how many things are based on that.

The same basic problems come up through time and around the world. We can observe what that society did to maintain civilization in the context of these issues, see how well those solutions worked, and how they resonate with our modern values. Then take or leave those ideas, as seems appropriate. Until we reach utopia, we can nev er have too much "advice" from the past.

I agree that the institute of religions seems to be the root of all evil because people have used it over the years as a cloak for their wrong doings. The 2nd Cereta Bull sounds and awful lot like The Nation of Islam (I believe it is Islam, I apologize if I am wrong) that states that if one does not repent and become Islamic then they should be killed. Yet Christians still consider themselves to be above all others and the most compassionate of all. Is there a one true God and is the God of Christians? I can't tell you but I can tell you that the worship of the God and the community that it gave birth to is far from beautiful or innocent

We should because no matter what, we will always learn from those who came before us. Many things are the way they are today because of what others did before our time.
