It saddens me to think of how much history has been lost, either because it was never written down in the first place or destroyed by ideologically motivated cunts (Muslims destroying artifacts in Afghanistan/Iraq). There is so much interesting stuff out there that we will probably never know the answer to, especially now when there's no interest in finding the truth.

Or, you could put it another way, I'm playing a Rome: Total War mod and am disappointed about how little is known about large parts of the world at that time.
