The art of war by Sun Tzu is pretty timeless tho

Right, because it's not a war plan. A war plan is about when, where, how, who, etc, for specific attack(s).

  • yes indeed, more like a war blueprint? like in general strategies applicable to many battles (so you can infer plans for any n wars of the future)

    idk

    • I mean it's theoretically possible a 1500s King might have made that book illegal, because of it's general knowledge. That's a legit point.

      Sadly the radio carbon dating disproved two of my far out theories, which was, 1) The book survived from some earlier 'iteration' of life on the planet, where all plants were simply different. or 2) All planets form the same 'kind' of carbon-based life, and this book was sent/delivered to us by another planet.

      Sadly, it's probably just someone's form of "art", and not even "real".
