Prehistory
Kaarti’s prehistoric times had begun after the land area of Kaarti became habitable after the last Ice Age, and people moved to live in the south around 10,000 BC. There is though no ceratainty of these people being necessarily Kaartian, and it is highly likely that the Kaartian people came much later. There are only few artefacts left from prehistorical times, most of them being ancient pottery.
The modern Kaartians inhabited the area likely in the first or second century. They came in tribes; these tribes can even be seen nowadays by the different dialects of Kaartians by region. These tribes had a “big man” (Kaartian: pá̤llikko̤) who was the leader of the tribe. This led to the development of agriculture and domestication of animals; before this the tribes were mostly hunter-gatherers living in forests.
Big men were also religious leaders. Natural phenomena were explained to be made by the divine by the big men. This is how the national religion of Kaarti, Kansanusko, began. Holy trees and bare rocks were deemed holy and marked with carvings or rock art. There also were “wísas” (lit. wise) people, who could heal wounds or illnesses or complete religious rituals such as burial.
Big men were very often male, but women have also been found from the cairns where the big men were buried (one person per cairn with big men). With wísases there was no divide between the sexes.
Religion and knowledge spread with poems and singing among Kaartians. Many of these are still sung, and the poetic metres helped them to spead and to be remembered.
