I just don't think someone that sees them as patriarchal and violent will ever see their achievements as amazing. They will most likely have the belief that their achievements were due to stealing it from another culture or on the backs of slaves (and the slaves were actually responsible for the amazing achievements). It's putting a leftists lens on a historical culture. I get bored with these takes pretty quickly because of the obvious bias which leads to complete inaccuracy.

> I just don't think someone that sees them as patriarchal and violent will ever see their achievements as amazing. I'm not sure why you'd think that. History is filled with shitty people doing amazing things. > It's putting a leftists lens on a historical culture. I think you're putting a rightist's lens on academic culture.

  > I think you're putting a rightist's lens on academic culture. billy99k is one of the commenters whose name comes to mind while reading their comments before I even look at the name. They have an annoying habit of making everything political, they seem to like trolling.
