lots of rotten people and a few good ones

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Well Greece was pretty good, I guess.That is the best I can say about the behavior of the several Empires explored in this fine,exceptional video. The Persian rulers live today as totalitarian rats-but I can't name them or some loser from the IMDb COMMUNITY will delete my review.The Persians-today called The I-----s,sent their precious little 10-year-old sons against the Iraqis, to clear mines,and lose limbs, in their war with the Iraqis, back in the early 1980's. The ancient Chinese emperor sent his peasants to build his idiotic Great Wall, and thus killed hundreds,thousands, and hundreds of thousands to their deaths-who were then buried in the putative "Great Wall". It was de facto, a pogrom against the peasants. Meanwhile, The great and stupid Peter the Great, in Russia,commanded HIS peasants to build this god-awful city,Saint Petersburg, with their bare hands: No tools, just hands. Peter of course was a "genius"Please don't laugh.As was his friend-in-stupidity,Catherine the Great, who had a great vagina or something.Meanwhile,back in Mexico City, the Aztecs had a habit of cutting the hearts out of "prisoners of war" in order to propitiate the gods of sunlight and of the harvest.Strangely, The Aztecs had a military-genocide-industrial complex: They constantly waged war. Their constant,unrelenting war-economy fed an unlimited supply of prisoners for the priests at the top of their pyramids,run by the psychos who cut the hearts out of POWs.This video is an excellent intro to human history.It truly tells you "how to smell a rat".Maybe your University Professor would,pray tell,learn from this video. Or maybe, he/she, is a rat as well.
