For what it is worth, The Conquerors of Latin America wrote in their descriptions, that many in what is now Mexico City were what they called SODOMITES. They had some sort of Irish Settler that supposedly sniffed out the homosexual, and to be a GOOD priest on the pyramids, one needed to show no signs of sexual arousal about taking a heart out of a young naked maiden. When Cuahtemoc hurled the stone that was a fatal blow to his Uncle Montezuma, he cried out in Aztec language a word which today in English would have been translated QUEER. Archaelogists would do well, to consider that some of these civilizations may have gone extinct as the gender confusion was so overwhelming, they didn’t have enough Men and Women to make babies for Wars, Human Sacrifices and overcome disease and being killed by jaguars. One day in Mexico City there were 100,000 human sacrifices. The stack of skulls that is displayed today, verifies that these numbers were not exaggerated.

"...until the great collapse of civilization around the Mediterranean Basin, around 1,200 B.C.E."

That must have been about the first time Bernie Sanders ran for office.

Crete has always fascinated me but as soon as I see BCE, I quit reading.

Mohammad’s ancestors wiped them out because they wouldn’t accept the soon-to-be-invented dhimmi status and the upcoming jizya taxes. Mad Mo’s ancestors were paving the way.

I’ve been to the Palace of Knossos on Crete. Beautiful place, laid out neatly on a small hill overlooking the countryside and coast with a 360 degree view. You look over massive, ancient olive tree groves and tilled fields that have been worked for thousands of years.

Some of the fresco colors are still vibrant even after 3000+ years.

Imagining what it looked like in its heyday... Must have been magnificent!

Any civilization that doesn’t change its default type font from Times New Roman to a more readable sans-serif font is doomed.

They should do a movie called National Lampoon’s Vacation Time where the Griswolds time-travel and accidentally wreak havoc everwhen they go.

Liberalism came to the Minoans, and it didn’t end well.

Ancient Tablets May Reveal What Destroyed Minoan Civilization
I think it was the lithium batteries caught fire. Look at the scorch marks on those tablets.
