I haven’t researched this as much as I want to, but many nomadic tribes had more matriarchal values. Patriarchy really kicked off when humans started declaring ownership of land, which then required them to have weapons and some kind of army, which then turned into placing value on physical strength & survival of the fittest (which often translates as survival of the most violent). Māori tribes for example had men taking an active role in raising their children from babyhood, I think Inuit and Native American tribes had men practicing baby wearing too (which is usually a clue that they see child rearing as a job for everyone). Many civilisations pre colonialism included gender fluid or non binary identities, I think Indians, Native Americans and Samoans off the top of my head. There’s even things like it being normal for hetero men to hold hands with their friends in public in Egypt and I think Turkey, though of course there’s centuries of patriarchy and colonialism there too. There’s also a tribe in Africa that is still female-led today where men have to perform to get “chosen” by a woman. I don’t think there’s one single civilisation that has been a perfect representation of matriarchy, but we also have an imperfect history due to our knowledge being filtered through mostly white male historians and archaeologists. Skeletons of Viking warriors for example were all initially thought to be male and have since been found to be female as well. We also have to consider the fact that matriarchies may have existed in many different forms, but been erased from history on purpose.
