Parochial or primitive societies are not fun places to live in. Stereotypes, superstitions, myths, homophobia, chauvinism and oppression of women, oppression by the church, tribal wars, are all attributes.

Again, that's how we picture them in our head, but we have very few informations of what really happened at that time. Pretending we know from a few remaining artefact's is quite a stretch given that the truth is already very distorted when information from the same day arrive to you in the form of photos, videos and track records.

You've also just described modern times, unfortunately.

Our current era is pretty much that, plus the germ theory of disease, plus near-lightspeed communication technologies and rapid material transit.
