Julian Jaynes's hypothesis amazed many in its time, relying primarily on Homer's Iliad as its main example. He argued not that ancient people completely failed to use their left brain, but that the relationship and utilization between the two brain hemispheres were different from how they are today. However, modern studies have proven his hypothesis to be incorrect. It has been confirmed that both hemispheres of our brains have worked in coordination since ancient times, and that ancient people fully understood their conversations and actions with their deities, possessing a clear awareness of themselves.
For example, when creating alphabets, calculating numbers, and constructing massive pyramids in both thought and action, they utilized both hemispheres of the brain to their fullest extent.
At that time, the "god issue" stood out and played a major role in deciding matters of morality, as well as distinguishing between good and bad. Because ancient societies had a wide capacity to evaluate and categorize any action as either good or bad, attributing decisions or existence to the gods primarily served to answer the social and moral question: "Which system is correct, and which one yields a better and more positive outcome?"
Naturally speaking, human abilities are expressed through two main avenues: experience and capacity, and capacity and exposure. For instance:
Basic drives like sleep and hunger are governed by experience and capacity.
Disciplines like language and mathematics develop through capacity and exposure.
Consequently, the communication ancient people had with their gods was not merely an internal thought process; rather, it stemmed from the belief that there was a grand Designer who created the universe, whose manifestation they sought. They used it to receive intuitional codes from the Creator or the gods and to understand how to properly manifest and apply them on Earth.
