We don't actually "Know" much about any ancient figure.       As the video points out, "History" wasn't actually a thing. It's not       even a "Thing" now! Go to the middle east right now and their       accounts of even relatively recent events, like the Arab Israeli wars,       does not resemble anything that might be mistaken for reality.              > 4:32 2) Bronze Age              The collapse, you mean.              Roman collapsed, Egypt collapsed a number of times... we might       not have specific reasons but at least we have the cause/method,       which is more than we can say for most collapses.              > 6:57 3) Genghis Khan              Nothing special.              We don't know where Anthony & Cleopatra were buried, or Alexander       the Great.
