I went down into the cistern at Mycenae, it's all carved underground and somewhere between 2-3x the depth of this one but the accessible portion of water at a time was about the same size. Who knows what's accessible under the water, an underwater lake would rule

Free webcomic Aztec Empire has some cool depictions of Mexico at the time of contact and interesting takes on Cortes' expedition, all carefully researched from the looks of it: https://bigredhair.com/books/aztec-empire/about/ Here's a nice video on the city state of Tlaxcala which had an interesting political life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVgNulhQ9Fg

It's always intrigued me how despite Eurasia and the Americas having been completely separate worlds (mostly), many things would have been familiar to the Spanish as they arrived in Mesoamerica. They were also agriculturalists, lived in cities, had commoners and nobles, rulers and all the pomp and circumstance associated with that. Cortes just needed an interpreter to get a pretty good grasp of what was going on. Nothing I can think of would really have been totally alien to the conquistadors. What I mean is they all descended from Atlantis.

By the "fall" of the western empire rome had been an unimportant backwater for nearly 200 years, the dude who "collapsed" the empire still payed lip service to the other roman emperor and was even given money to go kill the other western emperor who was running around and even after lombardy kinda fell apart the pope spent his time getting up everyones assess about everything

Tulip posted:what's the connection with what rogers is saying? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ im just riffing on the theme, which is the fall is just a bunch of gradual changes and never like an explosion. unless your the eastern romans where each change is a bunch of arabs or turks taking half of your territory and going "well what can you do1" 1 Piss off the venetians again it'll probably be fine

the fall of the western empire sucked a great deal for many people and lots of folks died. people may have lived meaningful happy lives while living in those territories at that time but they did so in materially and politically worse conditions than before
