Human history is filled with incredible moments of triumph but maybe moreso equally horrific atrocities. Sometimes, these incidents occur in desperation, but often, unfortunately, that is simply not the case. Over 1000 years ago, there was a nation-defining event in East Asia that was a bit of both, and it was horrifying. This is that story, and although the events in this video are fleeting and non-descriptive, they are still highly disturbing, so viewer discretion is advised.
