Been following some history youtube videos lately. Surprised how brutal history can get. I am fortunate to live in a relatively peaceful era on a peaceful region. Anyway, something I found surprising is how some character died. Cesar died stabbed, but really, only one of the stabs was mortal, the others where scratches, survivable. Cesar really only had one enemy, the others a bunch of cowards. But we don't know what was the hand the stabbed deep into Cesar body. So it was Brutus? Attila another curious death. Overdrank himself into unconsciousness, and died in his wedding bed, with a trivial nasal bleed. A drunktard death. Perhaps the most ironical was Archimedes, the greatest engineer the ancient world has seen. His city getting conquered, he decided to focus on geometry. He was surprised by a soldier while drawing circles in a paper. He shouted "Noli turbare circulos meos!" and was murdered by the soldier annoyed by the answer. Some random soldier killed the biggest genius their world had seen.
