Probably because civilization walked into Mesopotamia from the north, wearing armor made from horse hoof plates that looked like fish scales to the little brown Mesopotamian people. The Nephilim were giants from the steppe, where they had domesticated the horse as a meat animal, and to supply milk, leather and hoof plates for armor. They probably still used stone knives and axes as weapons. The legendary scian dubh of the Scots. These Turkic peoples easily took control of the naive fishers and gatherers of the rich fertile riversides.
The rest is history.
Civilization came from the open steppe, because bandit raids and warfare demanded that people organized themselves. The prehistory of China and Mesopotamia and the Sarasvati river of India shows peaceful agricultural people everywhere
No it was not. The movie White Squall was filmed using a boat named Eye of the Wind that was much larger than JFK's little pleasure boat. The bell with the WWG1WGA slogan on it, belongs to Eye of the Wind. It is not known if it was always on that bell, but the saying is a common maritime expression among sailors for generations. Pirates used it. British navy used it. It expressed the same sentiment that JFK expressed in the commencement speech he gave at American University.

For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
Cult of Con Artists.
Once you learn the arts of deception
You can live well without doing any real work.
Sol you teach the arts of the con to your kids
To your grand kids
You force them into situations were there very survival depends on deception
On being tougher and meaner and smarter than the other guy.
Before long your tribe begins to think
They are the chosen people of God.
