This has to be my favorite episode of "Fall of Civilizations" thus far. The way Paul Cooper tells this story, the sheer amount of detail in an already very sparse part of history is just astounding. I'm really impressed and highly recommend this to people interested in ancient history.

The massacre at the end and what led to it made me feel quite sad about Carthage. We often forget that civilizations are temporary. So much has been repeated over time when one looks at history. I think nothing that is happening today seems that much different from before.

The sun is low
Guardians rust
Storms build
Supplies flicker
Despair spreads
Hollow strongmen promise assurance
The sun is low

I remember stumbling across this episode of the Fall of Civilizations podcast on my first night home after discharge from the hospital. Oddly enough, it was one of the things I was able to follow in all the brain fog I was experiencing at the time.

"Why are you so interested in the #drone #MassHysteria ?"

this article sums it up:

"the polio vaccine in the 1950s was greeted with ringing church bells, with its inventor, Jonas Salk, routinely being greeted with applause and handshakes when he was seen in public"

"By contrast, Anthony Fauci, the face of the US response to the Covid pandemic, requires round-the-clock security protection due to ongoing death threats, even after his retirement."
