Most men in ancient times (in all societies) were primarily active in farming and fishing. As food production increased, people were able to branch out into other occupations.
In most societies, women have traditionally taken care of the home and children while men have worked on production. Women have often cultivated food crops; men became hunters and cultivated other crops.
Homebuilding was mostly done by men and neighbours would usually assist each other in the process .
Men were also called in for war .
China is known for its massive public works projects, such as the Great Wall(s) and the Grand Canal. Huge numbers of people (mostly men) were involved in building the Wall, and it is estimated that over 1,000,000 died during its construction .
I will touch on the Great Wall in another post , including some ancient painting depicting the wall .
