Genesis 4 hints that there was a time when technology and knowledge exploded on the earth. Genesis 6 describes the "sons of God" who found the daughters of men attractive and came to earth to take them as wives. They had children with them who were giants, the Nephilim. . The book of Enoch, a book highly thought of in the first century church and Judaism, and which is quoted directly in the book of Jude and alluded to in 2 Peter, gives much more detail. Enoch says that these 200 sons of God, watchers or fallen angelic beings, took human wives and taught their knowledge and technology to men. This technology included just about everything: metallurgy, astronomy, astrology, arts of war, make-up and the like. Though neither Enoch nor Genesis 6 mentions this directly, it stands to reason that they also organized mankind and forced them into the organizational and hierarchical structures that they themselves knew. Whether we accept or reject the witness of Enoch, anyone who accepts the Bible as truth will recognize that fallen angels led by the archangel Lucifer, have taught their ways to humans since the days of Adam and that our nature is no longer that pure human nature given us by God but a corrupted, fallen nature.
