The Roman Empire believed itself eternal. So did countless kingdoms, economies, and governments that eventually became little more than paragraphs in history books.
Looking back, historians often discover that the warning signs had been present for years.
The people living through those moments simply failed to recognize them because collapse rarely announces itself dramatically.

Absolutely agree. Traveling the planet and seeing ancient civilizations that were once global powerhouses to quickly disintegrate should be a lesson to all.
Today with deliberate massive invasions of nations, no one sees the loss of great civilizations anymore.
