This particular writing will focus on the dominant and critical influence of the Middle Age Lupinian Roman Empire from whom our modern Zootopia in many respects still carries its defining marks. \n\n[b]1. The ages of Zootopia[/b]\n\n       The three ages so far in Zootopia are as follows….\n\n[b]1. The Pre-Common age or as our young mammals would call it? The Dumb Ages.\n\n2. The Common Middle Age\n\n3. The Common Modern Age.[/b]\n\n[b]Note: Explanation of the historical clock.[/b]\n\n     It is generally accepted that our world is 10,000 years old, that is known time as archaeology and geology understand it. We count these 10,000 years in the three ages of Zootopia as follows…..\n\n     The Pre-common age started roughly 2,000 years after the known creation time of our world (8,000 years before our time today) and lasted 2,000 years.\n\n     The Common age or “The Common Middle Age” began roughly 6,000 years before our modern age and lasted roughly 4,000 years.\n\n     Our current age called “The Common Modern Age” began 2,000 years ago and continues into our present day.  \n\n[b]2. The Pre-Common age or the “Dumb Ages”[/b]\n\n     Our young mammals enjoy making merry fun of the Pre-common age of Mammalia by calling it “The Dumb Age”. It was during this time that our ancestors went about on their paws and hooves on all fours. Species could not communicate with each other and within species our forefathers and mothers could only bark, howl, whinny, meow, roar and perform the most primitive forms of basic communication.\n\n      It was a terrible time to be a pray mammal in this savage and prehistoric period. Predators hunted prey for their basic nutritional needs. Procreation and perpetuation of species was emotionless, brutish and without affection or love. Prey mammals lived in deathly fear of every predator and every predator lived equally in fear of larger predators.\n\n     We know by archaeology that there was a class of apex predators in our world who reigned supreme as the dominant super-predators and no mammal, predator nor prey, were safe from their ravages. We have chosen to name this super predatorial class...”Dinosaurs”...yet for reasons we have yet to discover, these super predators did not survive long into the Pre-Common age and less than 100 years into the Pre-common age...the Dinosaurs were all extinct. There is strong evidence that a virulent plague ravaged our known world at that time and this perhaps ended the Super Predators. There is someone or some thing we all should be thankful for...that they are not here now. Tyrannosaurus Rex would definitely make a bad dorm mate or a terrible pet.\n\n[b]3. The Common Era  or “The Middle Common Age”[/b]\n\n      No one actually knows how nor the precise date of the event which brought radical change to our world happened. There are the usual theories and stories out of religion, conspiracy web sites, late night radio talk shows and the theories which have made their ways through our academia but there came a day when our ancestors walked upright on their hind legs and hooves, suddenly had the ability to speak a common language, express emotions and display advanced intellect.\n\n     We grew a sense of shame and fashioned clothes to hide our modesty. Pray animals displayed concern for their lives and predators began to respond and feel a level of disheartening at taking the lives of small creatures for food. Species began to make their own settlements, the first crude forms of housing and farming began to evolve as well as senses of communal and family life. Though not all of our forefathers and mothers embraced this changing environment at once, many were more swift than others. The wolves especially were rapid adapters and by the middle of the Common age, They developed one of the most influential and powerful societies which would have a profound and lasting impact long after it fell by the beginning of the modern age. I speak of course of Lupinian Rome which I will expound on later in this writing.\n\n       Lupinian Rome lasted 900 years. It has been 3000 years since the fall of the Western Lupinian Empire. The last 1000 years of the Common Middle Age saw Zootopia fall into a horrific and bloody conflict called “The great unification war” or as we better know it “The hundred year Predatorial Civil War”\n\n       100 years before the Modern Era. Many predators believed that Zootopia, all of the land which now encompasses our modern home, was the only inhabited land in our world. We were centuries away from building ships to sail the seas and find out that we were not the only mammals in the world. Predators feared that with the continued slaughtering, consumption and enslavement of pray mammals; predators themselves would turn to devour each other and our world would then cease to exist as all life had taken itself out of existence.\n\n       Many of our predator fathers stepped forward to call for the end of the cruelties inflicted on the lesser and weaker mammals while other Predators refused, called these brave leaders traitors and threatened them with death. The civil war that followed was horrendous as prey mammals rushed to the side of the heroic predators who loved them, they fought with them and died with them in a great blood letting. Thousands of prey and predator alike littered the battlefields as arrows gave way to gun powder, gun powder gave way to muskets, muskets gave way to cannon and cannon gave way to rifles.\n\n      Every year on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, all of Zootopia stops all work and quiets all tongues to remember the end of the great slaughtering and the great loss of life which gave us our modern world. It is why our society abhors war and values every sentient mammalian life as sacred and worthy of love be they predator or prey. With the end of the great war, the time clock of our civilization began to count upwards from the number zero and in the year 1776 on what is now Grand Mammalian Memorial Park in the center of Downtown Zootopia, our National constitution came into existence declaring that all Mammals are equal, that they deserve the rights of freedom, respect, life, liberty and happiness without fear. That to that end we the citizens of the republic are tied by our blood, our oath and sacred honor to preserve these assurances by our strength and if need be….our death.\n\nThat is just a basic outline of our history to this day. Next, we shall begin to look at Lupinian Rome and its’ impact and continued impact on our modern society. \n\n    ","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><div class='align_center'>A simplistic review of Zootopian History with Focus on the Lupinian Roman Empire as written by Doctor Emeritus Lulow Mandemus.
