inb4 revisionists try to downplay the importance of the library

what was even good about the western empire?

in terms of human cost the 1931 Chinese floods killed like 1.2 million people, bloodiest single event ever

Anyway in b4 /pol/

Depends on what passes as a tragedy 'for mankind'
If it means 'huge loss in human societal progress', then objectively the spread of christianity.
If it means 'great loss of human life' then something among the lines of >>2547829

Also the Roman destruction of the Temple.

Worst ever would be USA's two most biggest bombs on Japan during WWII. Not even a weaboo but if you argue otherwise, I'm sorry but you're incorrect.

Islam

That's the picture of Rome being sacked, idiot.

OP's birth.

Wait hang on I just got it

People always posted that picture with the filename "Fall of Rome" even though it's a painting of a completely unrelated fictional civilisation

But people were starting to point this out

OP has upped the ante and changed the filename to further rile people up and stay ahead of the curve

Are you going by casualty totals? Because if so there are certainly greater tragedies. The Sack of Baghdad comes to mind.

The fact that nobody realized the potential of steam power 2000 years ago, and just used it to make automatic doors and moving statues in temples.

The OP is very obviously a naked troll using inaccuracies to goad the room into a real discussion of actual historical tragedies. To reply seriously to the OP is to reveal yourself to be a charade.

Completely wrong. Every time somebody says this they either reference muh dark ages, muh inquisition or muh Galileo.

Christianity actually managed to alleviate the impact of the fall of Roman Empire somewhat and preserve a lot of knowledge as well as literacy. The Germans were quite literally barbarians and it is the Christian church that helped turn these illiterate people into the great medieval kingdoms with sprawling cultures.

Fall of Constantinople

Christianity took over from the empire and europe turned into mud huts,and you think thanks are required?

This!

Ancient Greece built an amazing civilization but they had a disdain for Mechanics, Metalurgy and Craftsmanship, deemed as "pleb stuff".

>>2547811
1204 was much worse

>>2547811
1204 was far worse. In 1453 the city was a shell of its former self. 1204 was what truly killed Constantinople and the Empire.
