I’ve long wondered studying history whether there was a word for this concept where priests ruled. Now I know there is!

013 #Theocracy – a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god. Interesting! #Sumerian art, an introduction https://t.co/lIoLJz9YT0

A pretty cool looking ancient structure, the ziggurat!

014 ziggurat – a built raised platform with four sloping sides, like a chopped-off pyramid and 015 corvée labor—unpaid labor coerced by the state/slavery (both in Mesopotamia). https://t.co/MMyX1HSqhY
