Ah, China - where life was cheap and women worthless. But it must have
had civilization because the rulers led a great life.

Middle East? Ah, slavery and forced State religion. Of course, if you
weren't of the minority controlling tribe/faction, you were worse off
than a slave ...

Egypt -- now Hitler wanted to be known as Germanys architect, just
look at the what the Egyptian gods (Pharoahs) did.


Poor Merlin - throw him into a time machine and dump him into one of
those old alleged civilzations and time how long it takes for him to
start screaming.



As for Central America, well, no accounting for taste.  But that would be
MY vote of where to send Merlin to.

Listen to him scream, as the alleged civilization quickly grabs this
stranger and drag him up to the altar to have his heart ripped out ...
