The fall of Constantinople is one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the world. So much knowledge, wisdom, and art lost and destroyed. Absolutely devastating.

The burning of the library of Alexandria

@curious_one1156 Ай бұрын

Nothing was lost. Some libraries continued to be maintained after the city was conquered. Mostly religious texts were targeted. Besides, all the knowledge within the walls also existed outside. Remember, the printing press had already been invented. Infact it was the least tragic of the 4 events in the video, even in teems of "loss of knowledge". Was the Bubonic plague not a greater tragedy ? Or, the British occupation of India ? The latter actually led to actual loss of knowledge (eg: Dhaka Muslin).

The account narrated is biased against Suleiman obvio. It is a Byzantine account. We do not really know exactly what happened, although the basic details of the siege have been agreed upon by many historians. Also, do not forget what the civilized Spannish did in Tenochtitlan.

@@Qrtuop I mean Soviet society was pretty vulnerable. After they embraced atheism as a government enforced belief system that is. Totally abandoned the intrinsic value of human life and ultimately, after tens of millions of civilian deaths, collapsed. Communist China under atheism is another great example of the vulnerability of living without acknowledging God in society. Or any human society that embraces nilhism essentially.

the rulers of today are the descendants of the old rulers and tyrants. same bloodlines, and they do not see raping and conquering as a mistake, it got them to where they are. Tyrants vs people. this cruelty is only a mistake from the losing side, being regular people always in the middle, always radicalized to fear one and excuse another, or the tyrants themselves when they fall to another. Blind greed, willful evil, to the detriment of their own corrupt victories.
