Well done. Well said. The truth of our collective ancestry, no matter what our "genetic" make-up, is rife with these same stories - no matter where we hail from.  The victors have written our epitaphs. Ancestral human brutality is one of the most glossed over aspects of modern life. It seems we are predisposed, right down to our DNA, to much collective, and twisted, imaginative cruelty. Modern life puts some distance between who we are, and what we do - but if you ask any warrior, modern or ancestral, about the realities of war, I think that the soldiers on any side of a conflict will relay personal experiences that affirm that we have not fallen far from the tree - a brutal tree.
