@jeremiah @Red-Potato @matty I need to brush up on this topic because it's been a while since I have studied it, but there were a couple matriarchal societies, however just because a culture was agricultural does not mean it was 100% a matriarchy, they just might have had different attitudes compared to more patriarchal societies 

I don't remember if it was the Greeks, but I believe this culture was considered agricultural and their veneration of goddesses associated with fertility may have played a part in that

Sorry if this isn't a comprehensive answer but it's been a while since I dived deep into this and I don't want to misrepresent things. I heard Myanmar was also agricultural?

@subnetter @jeremiah @Red-Potato @matty there were matriarchies in mesopotamia, sumerian religion was matriarchal but that got wiped out with marduk

@sun @subnetter @Red-Potato @matty do you have rceipts for that? Sumerian religion certianly had goddess figures, but the hierarchy, witnessed by their texts, was mostly patriarchical.
