When you see the behaviour of today's dictators in view of losing power over "their" people, you can better visualize how emperors, kings, pharaohs and ruling dictators long ago assumed divinity, Lordship as Gods, to legitimate their control over "the masses." It would be hard today for 'Ghadafi' to pull off the trick of being divine, a god! However, it does not stop some of these dictators calling themselves the "Father" of their nation!
Watching today's dictators fight to save their control it is easy to see how fear-guilt-fight as a method was an absolute must-do program for men who lusted for control over others thousands of years ago. This program of fear (in not serving the Lord), guilt (for not serving the Lord) and having large powerful armies (serving the Lord) to put down any dissent is how patriarchy started 6 - 10 thousand years ago. It was only a matter of time for Manu to make slavery legal for Lords like himself in 2400BCE by official/written statute.
The strange thing about the beginnings of patriarchy is that historians don't describe history this way.
