Ariel photography in 1300bc? I’m here for it.
Didnt know mermaids could take such good pictures
I’m not saying it was the aliens but …
It was the titans… definitely the titans given this city layout.
Yeah, that’ll happen when you build a city like that.
Why did they build the wall along the side with the sheer cliff face I wonder
Got to have watchtowers for those pesky rock climbing mongolian assassins. A nice smooth brick surface slows them down and slips them a bit like heavy beatles clamoring up glass. /s
It’s a few hundred years later, after the Hittites have disappeared, but Assurnasirpal II claims to have scaled a mountain peak “like the point of an iron dagger” to slaughter everyone inside the fortress at the top. Twice.
Mongolians? In 1300BC? Wasn’t it 2,500 years later, in like, 1200AD when they came rolling thru?
Attilla the Hun was around 450 AD too. Not exactly Mongolian, but very similar in the sense of being nomadic horse archers from the steppe.
Scythian maybe?
They might actually be related. The huns originated from east of the Volga river (so east of the Scythians) and recent research identified genetic links to ancient Mongols
I thought it was a slice of pie.
