tfw know literally nothing about the Crusades
Most people don't know much about the crusades, and most people who do only know about Jerusalem

Most people don't.My World Politics professor briefly talked about them during a lecture on the history of imperialism, but all I can remember was basically just, "This shit was atrocious."
Let's ignore the Crusader's ransacking of cities and killing of women and children oh wait I think I was supposed to play along or something

That's just not true. A lot of engineering feats, technology, basic hygiene, common sense, etc.All of that was lost and honestly the engineering feats are only recently being broken (i'm talking decades/centuries, not like 10 years ago).Fun fact: Rome at its height had more intricate and working road systems than the modern day US Highway system.
a lot of roman roads still work today! good luck getting our piece of shit asphalt roads to do the same a thousand years from now.

The Crusades were justified by the standards of the day.
