They are a writer, and they thought their talent would simply consign them to a few pages, writing the histories of others, while their own was eventually forgotten. Their talent, however, was more than noticed. After all their writings gave lessons, and those lessons were saving many lives. -- Anon Guest
History is a complicated beast. It's difficult to believe that the first wonders of the world were not only rising from the ground, but had been standing for centuries at the same time that others were still hunting megafauna on the steppes.
It's taught as a straight line of progress. From stone tools and bear skins to metal and clay, and then to buildings, cities, and all the other trappings of civilisation.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
