Many things are false regarding the evolution of human rights in history. Probably the biggest and most common falsehood is that people always had rights and that all religions provided rights. Rights are a modern concept that came out of the Enlightenment philosophy. Prior to this, people did not have rights, they had privileges. Gods articulated through their Prophets and Kings gave their subjects certain privileges which could be given or revoked at the Prophets' or Kings' disposition. A right, as opposed to a privilege is endowed on a person merely for being a human being, regardless of station or how the rulers viewed that person.
