Ancients Behaving Badly

Late to the party (and, no, not sorry).

The entire premise of this "historical" program is absurd. This series is the dubious result of taking third-hand accounts of events that occurred centuries (sometimes millennia) ago (most often chronicled by non-witnesses hundreds of years after the events) and, with ZERO direct evidence,attempting to shoehorn historical figures into an arbitrary and deeply flawed continuum of contemporary American cultural mores and norms. This is pseudo-soft science at its absolute worst.

Sadly, this sort of supreme arrogance is exemplary of the state of so-called scholarship, at least as it appears in "popular" media. No wonder this abomination masquerading as historical "entertainment" didn't last. As stated succinctly by another reviewer: "Don't waste your time."
