Herodotus got everything right. The demi-God of history.

You will scream and beg for mercy as the flames consume you, and you will wish you were never born. You will scream for mercy, but there will be none. And the 10000th day will be as painful as the 1st. Tick tock.

FACT.

Post-modernists hate Herodotus because they didn't have the reading comprehension or the historical know-how to realize that he was right about everything. The OP pic is a pedestal of a structure that post-modernists deny, to this deny, existing.

Herodotus also talks about gliding snakes, which do exist, and about marmots which in Persian language were called "ants", but post-modern mostly English speakers failed to understand the translations and instead of working to figure out what he was talking about decided that he literally meant red fire ants native to Mississippi.

Easily his most impressive account turning out to be true is the "gold-digging ants". It wasn't an ant, but the Himalayan Marmot *does* in fact collect gold dust, which accumulates on the mounds by their burrows, and local people did in fact harvest it.

Okay, now what about the winged serpents that Herodotus claimed were such a problem in Arabia?

Thucydides mogs Herodotus so hard is not even funny

I like how he says the Phonecians claimed to have circumnavigated Africa, and they said when they rounded the southmost point, the sun was on their right (ie in the northern sky), which Herodotus didn't believe but included in case any of his readers might believe it. Of course, if they had circumnavigated Africa, that's exactly where the sun would be.

They reached America as well and mined copper.
