"History never happens the same way twice"
Actually, history is bound to repeat itself.
Details are details. Similar scenarios unfolded thousand years ago if you're willing to ignore enough details.
A nation will always rise, leads through military power, and slowly fall, until another rises.
In between, there are periods of fast growth and terrible loss/stagnation as well. Being resources, science or/and human lives.
