Why did the money appear?
One of the ways to get the necessary items – skins, weapons,
food, etc. – was a forceful seizure. But the costs of such a
method of extraction were too great, which were expressed
in the loss of people both on the part of the attackers and on
the part of the defenders. Endless attacks on each other
could completely lead to the destruction of the tribes.
