With my first choice being Sumerians in Ancient Mesopotamia or also known as the Fertile Crescent in the era of 5000 – 1000 BCE and my second choice being Minoans in Crete in the era of 2100 – 1100 BCE basing my finds on the differences between these particular Polytheistic religions.

I have decided to break Monotheistic religion into two different eras and geographical location, just as I have with Polytheism. With my first choice being the Germanic Kingdom involving the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Franks and Anglo-Saxons in the era of ca. 400 – 900 CE with the religion being Catholicism.
