    My favorite is Chinese history where they go:

    “Ling Long incident: no one recalls how it began or what happened,150 million dead, half of china destroyed. Famine for 10 years. People ate each other.”

    And it’s just a minor footnote written down by maybe one court scribe in the margins of a book about some greater series of tragedies.
