10 Ancient Civilizations You Wouldn't Survive in

10 Ancient Civilizations You Wouldn't Survive in Close your eyes and imagine you're standing in the central plaza of an ancient city. The sun beats down on stone pyramids. The air smells of copal incense and flowers. Around you, thousands of people in brilliant feathered headdresses are chanting. You feel honored—you've been chosen. They're leading you up the temple steps. You're special. Sacred. And then you see it. A stone altar at the summit. Dark stains that never wash away. And you realize with cold certainty that in the next sixty seconds, your heart will be beating in someone else's hands. Welcome to the ancient world. Not the sanitized version from textbooks with noble philosophers and impressive architecture. The real version. Where survival wasn't guaranteed. Where the rules were written by gods who demanded blood. Where being chosen often meant being killed.
