When the inhabitants of the besieged city run out of provisions, they started to eat first the horses and then "the aged, children and women". In their biographies of Zhang Xun, the Old and New Book of Tang (finished between 945 and 1060) – the primary official dynastic histories covering the Tang period – estimate that about half of the original population of 60,000 people (including the troops) were eaten. When the city finally fell, "there were only 400 survivors" – less than one percent of the original population.[2] According to the Old Book of Tang, Zhang Xun killed his own concubine as food for the hungry soldiers to convince them that such extreme sacrifices were worth it.

Sweevo posted:i'll admit to knowing almost nothing about chinese history, so is it like japanese history where there's a thousand years of poo poo that obviously never happened, but everyone has to pretend it did for political reasons? yes but it's farther back and there's more that's probably myth. but there's a ton of stuff that did happen, maybe. like, tons of really hosed up emperors who were definitely terrible and tortured and ate people for funsies so they had to be deposed, but that's surely not a cover story that the next dynasty made up to justify their coup or anything. but then you'll have everybody thinking the rivers of mercury in the tomb weren't real until whoops we found it. kind of like the cannibalism thing mentioned above. if you look at the histories, every time somebody's mildly peckish in an ancient chinese city they kill and eat some neighbor kids. that's probably not true in all or even most instances. but there are certainly terrible sieges and famine and such where cannibalism did happen, and that kind of thing tends to resonate in the stories and cultural memory, and when you grow up with stories about terrible famine and cannibalism, and then you haven't eaten in a month, well, who the heck knows. so there's a ton that didn't happen in the histories but it's not obvious which specific bits did and didn't happen so it's all really fun to learn about (until you get waaay back into the "definitely myth, probably" sections) chinese history absolutely beats the poo poo outta european history imo. it's absolutely wild in its civility and its beauty and its brutality. whatever extreme of the human condition you can think of is probably in a chinese history book somewhere.

just to be clear when i say "when you grow up" i'm talking the people 1500 years ago growing up with stories of famine from 500 years before that, not modern people

I mean we haven’t though have we, we’ve detected evidence of mercury contamination in the area but nobody knows yet whether that’s the tomb leaking or just modern industrial contamination (according to my expert knowledge on the subject, aka “I browsed the wikipedia article just now”)

At the Science Writers' conference, theoretical physicist Sean M. Carroll explained why there was no need to "sample the moon to know it's not made of cheese." He said the hypothesis is "absurd", failing against our knowledge of the universe and, "This is not a proof, there is no metaphysical proof, like you can proof a statement in logic or math that the moon is not made of green cheese. But science nevertheless passes judgments on claims based on how well they fit in with the rest of our theoretical understanding."[20][C] Notwithstanding this uncontrovertible argument, the harmonic signature of Moon rock — the seismic velocity at which shockwaves travel — is said to be closer to green cheese than to any rock on Earth.[21]
