Ammonites were an ancient tribe of people living about 700 to 200 B.C.E. centered in what is now known as Eastern Europe. They are believed to have been related to the Picts and the Chavelles. Building their huts from clay and reeds, they built their villages in the form of a spiral shape. Their main contribution to civilization was their advanced husbandry of goats. They came to care for goats more than they cared for humans. Eventually, they elevated the station of goats to the degree that goats were kept within the huts, and the Ammonites slept out of doors in tents.
As a people, they mysteriously disappeared around the time of the Common Era. Some anthropologists believe this was due to the onslaught of viral infections, exacerbated by prolonged exposure. Others believe they were assimilated into neighboring tribes, who took pity on them and brought them in from the cold.
It is not know what became of the goats.
