Had a very interesting lecture today, or rather this evening, touching among other things on the fight for Aleppo. The violence is of course unforgivable but just to make everything clear I am discussing the conquest of Aleppo by the Hittites in the 16th century B.C.
It is said that those who are ignorant of their history are doomed to repeat it. There are a lot of ignorant people because it is sad to find out this evening that a city suffering from war today suffered the same situation some 3600 years ago. It is equally sad that the BBC series Sherlock had no problem moving the story to modern times and still have Watson returning from the war in Afghanistan.
Can we hope for a better knowledge of our history in the future?
