The biggest scandal in history

[Anomalocaris]

Watergate and Jan 6 are the biggest scandal in all history?   Come on,  to say a big scandal in a country that had barely existed for 1/25 as long as recorded civilization, and had exerted wide culture, economic and political influence for far shorter than that, would constitute the biggest scandal in history is a bit lacking in perspective?

Akhenaten’s monotheistic heresy,  the Alcibiades affairs, Sulla’s coup, Caesar’s assassination, Theodosius’ edict of Thessalonica,  Venetian sacking of Constantinople, inter caetera issued by pope Alexander VI, the Spanish subjugation of the Inca Empire, those are just the ones in western history before the founding of the United States, that 1000 years hence, might well still be seen as more influential on long term course of world events than the very existence of the United States, much less any scandals within it.
