Slaughter at the Bridge is some epic poo poo. A huge bronze age battle with professional soldiers way too drat far north in Germany to make any historical sense.

I still have to wonder how Plato conceived of the idea of Atlantis � if it was a distant memory of the palatial polities in the Mycenaean period, Minoan Crete, a hitherto undocumented civilization or if he was doing it for the lols.

I still find it ironic that the only hard* evidence of a large bronze age battle is way the heck north of civilization, of which no account of history can make any sense of.

Or, why are dudes from the Iberian peninsula brutally fighting other dudes in northern Germany. A place cold as gently caress with no writing or anything of value to anyone at the time.

By *hard I mean actual clumps of bodies of fallen soldiers with hacked up bones and lodged arrowheads. Also healed bones from previous battle wounds and fancy warrior swag for the time.
