HAHA i can imagine disapointment on face of someone that wasted time and money to visit that place just because of your false advertisement... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Israel-2013-Aerial_21-Masada.jpg Great Wall in China is the most clear relict of ancient battlefield and fact that its visible from space makes it the most visible relict of ancient battlefield... plus it is not just ugly pile of old mudbrick in the middle of desert. :D Someone would need to pay me good money to visit that forgoten by God place, it looks like place where sun can fry you like a french fry in no time.

Masada remains a complex source of strong mixed emotions among Jews. Some doubted it was more than a legend....until it was found and excavated. What's interesting about this selection of accounts is they span such a range of human responses to impending defeat, from the sell-out to futile defiance to the true believer.

@@nadiaromantini8836 A common legal definition today that I'm sure you've heard here and there is Mens Rea, which means guilty mind. It's the legal standard that without the knowledge of one's own criminality one can't truly be guilty. By that standard, it's unreasonable to conclude that slavery was wrong when no one could conceive of it being wrong. It was merely a fact of life in a vicious struggle for survival and dominance. That's why trying to apply the philosophical values of the Enlightenment that you've inherited on people who believed that their ability to rape was a proof they had a God given right to do so isn't reasonable. The only reason these men of the past look like moral ants is because you haven't noticed you're standing on the shoulders of giants and can't appreciate what that truly entails. What opportunity did anyone have to conceive of these actions as wrong in a zeitgeist of gods, death and destruction? Without a guilty mind there can't be guilt.

I dunno, man, the aztecs were a bit on the fucked up side. Rome and many other empires may have been ruthless and genocidal, but at least they waged wars for land and resources, not just so they can capture people to sacrifice - there's a reason pretty much no one came to their aid when Cortez rolled up, like "Buenos dias, heathens". Shit, from what I recall, by the end most of his force was made up of various locals, who were tired of the aztecs shit and figured they'd rather pay the spanish gold as tribute than pay the aztecs in family members.

Aztecs were definitely not "fucked up". If anything, they were the good guys, definitely better and more interesting than Rome. Romanticizing is bad, but the Mexica were based. No one was "tired of their shit", Tlaxcala and other city states and countries (not tribes ffs) wanted to conquer Tenochtitlan on their own. They were enemies, not some poor, harmless, opressed people. They had the same rituals and sacrifices, they didn't think human offerings were bad (because they are not).

Yes, this just goes to show that history teaches us things. Caesar was no better than Hitler or Stalin when it comes to genocide and killing women and children, and that goes for most of Roman history. It is something we should learn from. Humanity's capacity for evil is boundless. Crimes against humanity didn't start in 1941 and end in 1945. It's a part of all human history, with very few periods of exceptions.
