Depends on what passes as a tragedy 'for mankind'
If it means 'huge loss in human societal progress', then objectively the spread of christianity.
If it means 'great loss of human life' then something among the lines of

Also the Roman destruction of the Temple.
Worst ever would be USA's two most biggest bombs on Japan during WWII. Not even a weaboo but if you argue otherwise, I'm sorry but you're incorrect.

People always posted that picture with the filename "Fall of Rome" even though it's a painting of a completely unrelated fictional civilisation

The fact that nobody realized the potential of steam power 2000 years ago, and just used it to make automatic doors and moving statues in temples.

The OP is very obviously a naked troll using inaccuracies to goad the room into a real discussion of actual historical tragedies. To reply seriously to the OP is to reveal yourself to be a charade.

Completely wrong. Every time somebody says this they either reference muh dark ages, muh inquisition or muh Galileo.

Ancient Greece built an amazing civilization but they had a disdain for Mechanics, Metalurgy and Craftsmanship, deemed as "pleb stuff".

1204 was much worse
Henry Jones
