Are the women still egging the men on today?
You could go back three thousands years in history and still end up in square one today.
A few main differences....science has made killing large quantities of humans much easier then three thousands years ago.
Humans still mostly live in ignorance or surround themselves with ignorance, thus making it much easier to start wars for the masses.
Elites (in any country) know how to start wars and make money.
