Or how tiny Macedonia took on the Achaemenid empire. Or how tiny Britain conquered literally the whole of the Indian subcontinent... Well, you get the point...
Or how a small island off the coast of Europe ended up as the largest empire the world has ever seen, covering around a quarter of Earth's land surface.
I have to admit that when the internet came out I never thought that easy access to all the information in the world would end up making people even dumber.
It didnt. It just provided the already dumb with a platform to make themselves more visible to the others. Which is quite hilarious when you really think about it.

Depends if you mean at one time. Just before ww1 it ruled over 20% of the global population, and that is after giving away a lot of independence. When you include events like Britain conquering France and by extension Spain and all of their combined colonies after the Napoleonic war. I guess the vast majority of the world has at one time or another been directly controlled by London.
I'm Italian, I'll tell you a secret: in reality Rome doesn't even exist now, it's a place only for tourists at 5 in the morning 4 million actors go to the place and who pretends to be a policeman, what inhabitant who has a shop etc. but the girl discovered us, it's been like this for 3000 years, but now we have to close, because of that super intelligent girl
The Roman Empire of course existed. As a Chinese, I can tell you during our Han dynasty, the Roman Empire was described in our historic records as Daqin (大秦, the Grand Qin). There even have been emissaries sent by the Roman Emperor to Han.
@Costea Bogdan whats wrong with you? C L never confused anyone. Roman Empire is Daqin and this not an ethinic, its the Roman Empire. Btw you confuse Italians with Romans/Latin. Its called romance languages because it has the same decent from Latin. Like 3/4 of Europe. And romans and romanians are not brothers, the romans were more like a grandfather to said roman states that speak romance languages.
@Costea Bogdan That's revisionist bs. 大秦 specifically refers to the Roman Empire. It has nothing to do with the Dacians. I use the Chinese characters because they are necessary. The pronunciation now may resemble "Dacian", but it is irrelevant. The Book of Later Han or 后汉书 states that "其人民皆長大平正，有類中國". The Chinese people at the time saw many similarities with the Romans, which led them to coin the term 大秦 for the Roman Empire. 秦 refers to the Qin Dynasty, the first Chinese empire. 大秦 = Great Qin. It's a reference to how advanced and prosperous the Roman Empire was, much like China at the time. 大秦 also specifically refers to Roman Syria, which the Chinese have interacted with via the Silk Road. The Chinese had not interacted with Dacia.
In ancient Rome wearing silks was a sign of wealth and prestige, silk was, of course, only available from China. A quite elaborate system of traders and middle men (such as the Parthians) was set up to provide goods in both directions.
Our reality is complete Lie, as is our history...it goes so deep that it supercedes money and politics, it goes beyond what we think it even means to be truly decieved. And of course, best of all, it's been right in front of us to see all along. To get you to understand this, I must first ask of you to look up the mud flood cover up, there was a massive event that took place just as recently as a couple hundred years ago.. have you heard of the previous global civilization of Tartaria? Most likely not because it has been completely removed from our history books and even maps, what remains is their old archetecture, look up their Star Forts and star cities. And these structures are massive and can be found all over the world. Mainstream narrative will calls these "forts" but it's complete nonesense... See for yourself these absolutely massive symettrical master pieces of infrastructure. How is it that all over the world these exist despite difference in culture and nations etc. Yet have the same archetecture and star cities/forts and designs... it's because at some point the world was already unified as one, the current rulers of today have covered them up and broken up the world up into all these different nations, divide and conquer at the highest level. All governments are in on this secret, because they all aide in not revealing the true history of these buildings. Hence why alot of the old world Tartarians massive buildings are either labeled as Cathedrals, Monasterys or government related buildings or libraries etc... Listen I know this may seem far fetched but please look into it. You may have to use Bitchute, but please I beg of you to have a brief search on the mud flood, mud flood windows, star forts, star cities, and Tartary/Tartaria. And remember the Hopi Indian prophecy... We must first start with our true history first so we can better understand all the reason for governments all lying to us simultaneously.. because they all know what occured in the past and strive everyday to keep us from it. Much love but this veil has to be revealed. "Truth is stranger than fiction-

Actually, to be technically correct, the usual Latin letters were just one of the many similar Greek alphabets that had developed in the 9th and 8th century BC. Specifically the alphabet of a city of island Evia (Εύβοια) , the name of the city was Κύμη (or Cuma in latin font) was the one that was adopted by the Romans and they did minor modifications. Note that the word "alphabet" is more like what we mean by the word "fonts" today. You can see Greek pottery of the 7th or 6th century BC that say the city name of ΚΟΡΙΝΘΟΣ as QORINΘΟΣ or similar.
As a Greek living in a city where there are literally Roman ruins and structures jutting out every other urban block I find this person's level of ignorance both insulting and hilarious. The mind truly boggles.

As an Iranian, Rome did freaking very well exist. We were fighting for 400 years. We exchanged so much culture, tactic, even food and carved many relics and reliefs in mountains of our mutual history and existence, our wars, our victories, and defeats. Unimaginable how small-minded people dare to speak so loud. Personally, I love their tactics, engineering practices, and philosophy. Although the rivalry of the ancient world put us against each other, Romans and Greeks were utmost respectable and inspiring civilizations. Just inspired.
The Parthian/Ashkanian empire of Iran started as a superpower from 250 B.C.E & lasted to 250 A.D ( freaking 500 years) until it was replaced by the Sassanid dynasty which started from 250 A.D & lasted to 700 A.D (freaking 450 years) untill the Islamic conquests ! During all of this 950 years Iran was a superpower !!! *and yet, during ALL of IT'S TIME it was equally matched by its neighboring superpower, Rome* !!! The longest rivalry & conflict in human history is between Iran & Rome which lasted 780 years !!!

A lot of people have forgotten or ignore that our evolution is also designed around culture (i.e. socially communicated habits and information). This gives a recovery advantage if things completely breakdown or are maladapted (we CAN start from scratch if needed), but also a weakness if we take things for granted and slack on maintenance and adaptation (technically, we ALWAYS start from scratch).
Her ideas come from a pseudo historical conspiracy book series called “The new chronology” Anatoly Fomenko which argues ancient Roman civilization never existed and that all the innovations made by the Roman’s were actually made in the Middle Ages but were covered up by the Spanish Inquisition.
Wait until she hears about how a tiny Tribe in Arabia ended up conquering the hearts and minds of people from Andalusia in the West to Uighuristan in the East.
England is full of white, straight men. Therefore, England can't be proven to exist until roughly 2000, because all evidence of it is from straight, white men. Thus, the British Empire was not real.

@@EmilTapio I agree that those skills shouldn’t be reserved for academics, seems like everybody could benefit from those skills.

Like with this historian woman. How could the entire world full of historians who spend every day all day looking over this stuff miss the fact that Rome never existed? Or flat earth, how could all the pilots, all the geologists, all the physicists, astronomers, captains, etc. all miss the fact that the earth is actually flat? What makes a person to go over that edge and actually think some youtuber making slideshows is more believable? I can totally understand doing it for fun, I do have a guilty pleasure for conspiracy theories. One of my favorite videos was called “there are no trees on forrest Earth” or something like that. It claimed that all of out mountains are actually massive silicone tree stumps. The theory was that all of our current trees are seedlings that will grow into mile high silicon trees but that 300 years ago they were harvested by some advanced species and we are nothing more than a genetically engineered working force left behind living in a planetary quarry. I mean that is an amazing sci fi script and the video was hilarious because it was some russian dude saying with absolute conviction showing slides of tree stumps next to mountains and saying “see it is obviously the same thing”. But how do you go over to actually believing that? I could entertain the idea and walk around for a couple of days imagining it to be real but I would never accept it as true. How does a person go from that to actually openly stating that they believe it and telling it to others in real life?
@@EmilTapio hahaha, nope, that's not happening. I have been fighting to get science fairs put back in my school for years, can only do one in my class and with covid pretty much all hands on experiments our designs by the kids were shut down for two years. As it is most teachers and parents only want science experiments to be fun or over the top big and exciting, not the real observations done by science. Not a real question that may get an answer that you are not expecting and therefore have to reevaluate your original hypothesis. This is too hard, too great a risk for a child to feel wrong and therefore be vulnerable to mental health problems (I'm not making this up, not hyperbole). Instead kids are taught race politics, gender bending, and of course diversity inclusion and equity. Math, science, reading and writing are all on the decline because we spend all our time integrating social policy into the core subjects, at the expense of the content of those core subjects. We've been doing this for 20 years and this is the result so far. What happens when this crop of indoctrinated kids gets out into the trap world? We are so screwed and nobody really understands the scale of this catastrophe. They will though, in 5 to 10 years.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who deny that CRT, while it exists just in law school at the moment (is nobody really questioning whether or not that is a big source of some of the problems we have been getting recently like repeat violent offenders going free?) there are those trying to shove it into k-12 education because "everybody is racist" and other bull crap about "white privilege".

I'm privileged because everybody considered me a pariah because of my anger issues that I got during my parent's divorce and bullying from other kids, and getting no real help for my anger issues. And I am totally privileged to have a conspiracy nutter for a mom who thinks I got my autism from the MMR vaccine even though all evidence points to it not being the case! So this bull crap started with the same public education system that used to claim black people were inferior to white people. The same school system the Woke wants to teach every white kid that they're inherently racist (that will toooooooootallly not backfire on them by giving the far right new recruits). Granted it was fucking puritans (yes those same puritans) that came up with the public education system to begin with, the same system that is apparently vulnerable to catering to the demands of whoever is in charge while idiot activists decide to start preaching instead of teaching like they were Charismatic Christians (I was raised in those kind of nutter churches so I can see the similarities to both them and the left).
Too many people confuse skepticism with denial. A skeptic person questions something and doesn't stop until he/she finds enough answers to quench his curiosity. Someone in denial only accepts what he/she deems true regardless of the evidence, therefore embracing a dogmatic position.
That and skepticism at least means you're open minded yet cautious, denial is when you simply wont hear reason and are completely closed minded. They do seem to embrace an almost cultist stance and treat their conspiracy theory like a cult and wont listen to reason and attack anyone who criticizes their belief, often labeling them as some sort of heretic who's an agent for whatever group they imagine is perpetrating the conspiracy.
She's claiming to be "Jewish" in her Bio so i have to wonder what she thinks of the Roman Siege of Masada. I know that she refused to accept any sources that can be tied to the Catholic Church but the story of the Siege primarily comes from one source namely a Jewish rebel, Flavius Josephus.
She would probably think Josephus is a fake historian created by the Catholic Church which is why he switched to the side of the Romans and wrote positively about Jesus lol.

I'm an actual anthropologist and archaeologist and historian that actually specializes in Ireland, but also western Europe. The Roman Empire left a massive indelible mark on the culture and places, and it was marked by the places it conquered and absorbed. Even distant Ireland, never conquered by the Romans, still traded with them, and there is material evidence of it. They bought Irish tin, iron, and silver. It was traded as far as Syria. Christian propaganda wouldn't facilitate that. Nor would it even be useful, since a lot of it would be talking about the glory of a pagan empire.

@@sikid4000 What I mean is that misinformation, however ridiculous it may be, preys on people of every age. My comment wasn't about TikTok, it was about all such displays of ridiculous misinformation. (And how serious of a problem they are)
About 5 minutes in, I have decided that I cannot watch this video. This woman, and the fact that due to social media her ramblings have gotten exposure and traction, infuriates and frustrates me. This is the equivalent of a person shouting incoherent conspiracy theories at the town square, but in 2021 she gets millions of views, conversations and articles.
You're perfectly right. I don't mind watching this video (though that delusional teen brat pretending she has a phd in anything at all _is_ aggravating) because that doesn't count as a click on her social media accounts. But yes, she gets attention for it and so she does it. Why not? The strategy of making up facts at will and slinging insults at anybody not agreeing worked so well for a recent amateur politician & self-styled billionaire.
@@stephaniecruvant9130, thank you. As I don't have TikTok, I didn't know if content is monetized. Other than being delusional or having some sort of other mental issues, that is the only reason I can think of as to why someone would say such outrageous things.
Indeed, the internet for all its positive attributes has unfortunately also given a voice and a place for all the village idiots to congregate and recruit other ignoramuses to help them spread their ignorance on a global platform. The fact that anyone can believe such nonsense is the fault of education systems.
It must be difficult for a former teacher to come face to face with such ignorance. Before social media, such a person would have been found rocking back and forth in a park bench and talking to herself. Nowadays she is a blogger. We have somehow leveraged the internet's access to all the information in the world to create a generation that wallows in fact-less ignorance.
It's not a generational thing. It's an economic conjuncture thing, mostly. This has happened before, exactly a century ago. The technology is just much more advanced and dangerous.
@@poetryflynn3712 five minutes videos can be good for some occasional fun but certainly not for getting information. Unfortunately we live in a culture of image where attention spans are rather short and shock-value content seems to attract plenty of clicks and views. Accurate information can also be quite dense to digest for some people who can barely read the title and keep scrolling, and I tell you this as a guy who likes to draw and write about ancient times and has to read numerous articles and books to get everything accurate.
@@poetryflynn3712 All medias whether it be photo, video or book have the capacity to teach. The thing is, all equally have the capacity to teach LIES. I.E Mein Kompf. Tik Tok is perfectly fine, you should not be "shunning" people for using Tik Tok, it is just a very addictive (as all things can be) form of media. I don't think too many people are falling for this stunt of hers, she is purposefully ignoring facts and creating drama which allows attention to be directed unto herself, this video from Metatron proving it. However, I support Metatron doing this, as he needs juicy content, and the fact that he is correcting her is helping people stay properly educated, in an entertaining format.
But we are all here because we know she's wrong. As long as discussion and debate is aloud on the internet it's not that bad. That's why censorship is so dangerous. If you censor the correct information it hurts everybody. That's why people like her should be able to say whatever they want, because no one should have the power to silence ideas. I say let all the stupid people spout nonsense. Then people like Raf will call them out.
I have a theory that the internet is a modern-day Tower of Babel. We've attempted to create a power beyond ourselves, and now humanity is being slowly eroded away for its hubris.

Well, at the time of Cicero it was well established that most of 'Plautian' plays were fake, and Terence was probably a black African, so neither obviously counts (and 'Roman' comedies were adaptations from Greek precursors as the prologues usually freely admit). And that arch-Roman Cato wrote about the 'Aborigines', so he must have been an immigrant from Australia.[/irony]
>Greeks owned all the trade roads. -They would,if it wasn't for the fact they weren't a unified country.

It used to be that those kinds of people were placed in mental institutions, now they get internet fame.... Smh.
@@Segalmed am aware, am a theatrologist. Terence was surely African, as for Plautus, it's convoluted, because some wonder if the man himself was a real person in the first place or just a made up character. Almost the entire Roman comedy and drama is remixes of Greek classics. But that's also a matter of culture,many options for entertainment existed in Rome and the people were in more for the spectacle, so it's logical someone would make something familar to the people based on a proven bases rather than risk creating a new thing that will barely draw any attention.

There are a lot of historical items that were originally meant for men that are now used solely by women. High heels being a great example. her thinking that the armor was a woman’s corset is absolutely embarrassing.
my favorite part about this woman is that people will literally present their credentials and link primary sources and articles written by people with Ph.D’s and she will STILL tell them they’re fucking stupid. i truly envy peoples’ ability to be so confidently wrong.
They're so confident because they NEED to be right to show the world they're special. They don't care about being right, they just care about everyone else being wrong so that they can show themselves that they haven't wasted thier lives. All criticism is invalid because you're dum and I am smart

You broke my mind with this video. I had no idea that there are Ancient Rome deniers. Even writing that makes me laugh. Living in my tiktok free bubble I don't encounter this kind of stuff on a regular basis. And obviously, I haven't watched her other videos, so I don't know if she addresses Rome's provinces in any way (because, if they weren't a military based society, how would they have expanded their empire so far? But anyway). But she kinda denies a part of my country's history (I'm from Romania). We also have a Trajan's Column, since he was the one who made Dacia a province. You can see Dacians, both men and women, yes the women she was saying don't exist in roman art, on the original. And we're not Catholic. How does she explain that?
I like questioning conventional knowledge. But there seems to be a trend among people to automatically claim everything is a conspiracy when they don’t understand something. This woman is a perfect example of this.

You actually think logic exists in the postmodern world? This is normal behavior and what she says will be the norm in the media and general culture in 15 years time. The very philosophy that is the foundation of her beliefs is critical theory and is the reason why the media constantly talk about racism and will even claim young children are racists even though many have no real concept of race as they are too young to understand. I have even read academic papers that have concluded that babies are racist. You cannot argue against any of this because it is not founding on logic or truth so it therefore will ignore such presentations of fact.

The sad thing is that you can find a person just like her in every field of study. Everything from evolution to biology to religious studies to ancient languages. They have taken the time to educate themselves (maybe watched a few videos or TikToks or an online article - all from unreliable sources who are themselves terribly ignorant on the subject they pontificate on) but they are not so educated as to be able to understand what they do not know. When you engage them in a debate and bring up counter-arguments, they say that a particular scientific methodology is not reliable or that a method is based on false assumptions or a historical source is just lying. Goalposts get moved, standards of evidence change and the truth is relative.

The Pompey bit caught me off guard. We had to write a whole essay on Greek and Egyptian influences in Pompeian art and architecture. Insane that someone can't understand you can have an diverse population and build foreign monuments without actually being foreign
@@TheClassicWorld Who cares... Most of the white population in England don't particularly follow religion, unlike the Asian population and like the rest of the people who follow abrahamic religions (ie Jews and Christians) they take names from religious texts so its unsurprising the dominant name would be that of the profit - look at all the Mary's in Ireland 🙄 88% of England is white 9 % of it is Asian so don't worry, you're not losing your stranglehold while you sit chomping your racist carrots.
The United States went through a Greco-Roman kick earlier in its history, with a lot of public buildings and so on constructed in explicit imitation of Roman and Greek styles, Roman-style fasces plastered all over the walls of government buildings and on the back of e.g. US 10-cent pieces, coins minted in an imitation of Roman coins (with Liberty depicted as a classical goddess), lofty proclamations in Latin used on currency and official documentation such as "E Pluribus Unum" and "Novus Ordo Seclorum" ("Out of Many, One" and "New World Order"), and so on. Similarly, Egyptian architecture has appeared in the USA and elsewhere as part of that "back to the classics" fad - see the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, for examples. I guess it's just a matter of time before some weird, purple-haired, googly-eyed wokester somewhere decides that the United States doesn't exist, and is actually secretly a white-washed ancient Rome or Greece or something - and I say "white-washed" because apparently this claim that Rome didn't exist is an extension of a woke conspiracy theory that Greece, Egypt, Israel and the rest of the middle east were populated entirely with sub-Saharan black people, with the history that had been taught up until the woke conspiracy theorists took over the schools being some sort of cover-up to pretend that these areas are peopled with Semitic and Mediterranean peoples....
TikTok certainly does destroys people's brains. Combining with the fact that it's also one of the most toxic social media platfotms, TikTok deserves it's bad reputation.
I am proud of myself. A few summers ago I went to the capital of an empire that didn't exist. It was very real. It felt realistic. The guide during my trip to the Flavian Amphitheater was very good at telling me and my family about events that did not happen. I took quite some photographs of the Forum, but I guess I magically photoshopped that as you know... Rome didn't exist. ...The pizza was very good, though. That can't be fake. Italian pizza is very much real.
Sorry to break this to you, but that pizza you had at lunchtime was an illusion. Also "time" is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so! 😜 (Credit to Douglas Adams!)
This just in: the British Empire didn't exist because all of the columns in neoclassical architecture are actually Greek. The former consort of the Queen was the prince of Greece. Coincidence?

But the next time I spend a month in the apartment I rent on Via Tiburtina and walk past THE VIA TIBURTINA, I promise I will think of her.
There is evidence of Rome everywhere. They killed off a lot of the druids in England then just left. But they left behind buildings with Roman bath houses, heated floors, wall paintings, and scrolls in latin.
Thank you for this. I studied Latin and classical civilisations at school - it was compulsory. I loved it. An interest that has stayed with me all my life. I was pleased to watch you dispassionately disassemble her argument with empirical facts. Wonderful, I salute you.

As a history nerd since I was six and as a historian, my heart bleeds at such sheer stupidity. As a child I could visit Hadrian's Wall, touch it and climb around it; I was able to visit the eternal city with all its great sights as a graduation trip; and as a student I was able to visit the Roman excavations in Mainz (Isis and Magna Mater Temple) and the Germanic Limes. Isn't all of that supposed to exist? Is all of this a lie? How blind you are when the simplest evidence is right in front of your eyes. You just have to stretch out your hands; you can literally touch Roman history!
Because oakrans razor (I know that the spelling is wrong but she can not pronounce it correctly) and the wall was obviously a retaining wall for Mt. Olympus, all those excavation sites are fake, and the eternal city was built in the 90s
but mate Hadrian's wall is just a farm wall to keep the sheep from wondering. as for Roma it was a 'Greek town'. as for the rest its all part of the conspiracy son. or are you part of the white male empowering narrative? :) the lady is sadly clearly cracked. its worrying that she has so many people following her. hopefully they are doing it for the fun of laughing at her. it would be shocking to think people are taking this stuff at face value.

The Roman Empire of course existed. As a Chinese, I can tell you during our Han dynasty, the Roman Empire was described in our historic records as Daqin (大秦, the Grand Qin). There even have been emissaries sent by the Roman Emperor to Han.
@Costea Bogdan whats wrong with you? C L never confused anyone. Roman Empire is Daqin and this not an ethinic, its the Roman Empire. Btw you confuse Italians with Romans/Latin. Its called romance languages because it has the same decent from Latin. Like 3/4 of Europe. And romans and romanians are not brothers, the romans were more like a grandfather to said roman states that speak romance languages.
@Costea Bogdan That's revisionist bs.
大秦 specifically refers to the Roman Empire. It has nothing to do with the Dacians. I use the Chinese characters because they are necessary. The pronunciation now may resemble "Dacian", but it is irrelevant.
The Book of Later Han or 后汉书 states that "其人民皆長大平正，有類中國". The Chinese people at the time saw many similarities with the Romans, which led them to coin the term 大秦 for the Roman Empire. 秦 refers to the Qin Dynasty, the first Chinese empire. 大秦 = Great Qin. It's a reference to how advanced and prosperous the Roman Empire was, much like China at the time.
大秦 also specifically refers to Roman Syria, which the Chinese have interacted with via the Silk Road. The Chinese had not interacted with Dacia.
@Costea Bogdan
大 Dà = big
秦 Qín = Qin Empire
It's two words, not one.
Has nothing to do with Dacians or Dacia

Our reality is complete Lie, as is our history...it goes so deep that it supercedes money and politics, it goes beyond what we think it even means to be truly decieved. And of course, best of all, it's been right in front of us to see all along. To get you to understand this, I must first ask of you to look up the mud flood cover up, there was a massive event that took place just as recently as a couple hundred years ago.. have you heard of the previous global civilization of Tartaria? Most likely not because it has been completely removed from our history books and even maps, what remains is their old archetecture, look up their Star Forts and star cities. And these structures are massive and can be found all over the world. Mainstream narrative will calls these "forts" but it's complete nonesense... See for yourself these absolutely massive symettrical master pieces of infrastructure. How is it that all over the world these exist despite difference in culture and nations etc. Yet have the same archetecture and star cities/forts and designs... it's because at some point the world was already unified as one, the current rulers of today have covered them up and broken up the world up into all these different nations, divide and conquer at the highest level. All governments are in on this secret, because they all aide in not revealing the true history of these buildings. Hence why alot of the old world Tartarians massive buildings are either labeled as Cathedrals, Monasterys or government related buildings or libraries etc... Listen I know this may seem far fetched but please look into it.
You may have to use Bitchute, but please I beg of you to have a brief search on the mud flood, mud flood windows, star forts, star cities, and Tartary/Tartaria.
And remember the Hopi Indian prophecy...

Because she has no knowledge of either language.
Actually, to be technically correct, the usual Latin letters were just one of the many similar Greek alphabets that had developed in the 9th and 8th century BC. Specifically the alphabet of a city of island Evia (Εύβοια) , the name of the city was Κύμη (or Cuma in latin font) was the one that was adopted by the Romans and they did minor modifications. Note that the word "alphabet" is more like what we mean by the word "fonts" today. You can see Greek pottery of the 7th or 6th century BC that say the city name of ΚΟΡΙΝΘΟΣ as QORINΘΟΣ or similar.

As an Iranian, Rome did freaking very well exist. We were fighting for 400 years. We exchanged so much culture, tactic, even food and carved many relics and reliefs in mountains of our mutual history and existence, our wars, our victories, and defeats. Unimaginable how small-minded people dare to speak so loud. Personally, I love their tactics, engineering practices, and philosophy. Although the rivalry of the ancient world put us against each other, Romans and Greeks were utmost respectable and inspiring civilizations. Just inspired.
The Parthian/Ashkanian empire of Iran started as a superpower from 250 B.C.E & lasted to 250 A.D ( freaking 500 years) until it was replaced by the Sassanid dynasty which started from 250 A.D & lasted to 700 A.D (freaking 450 years) untill the Islamic conquests !
During all of this 950 years Iran was a superpower !!! *and yet, during ALL of IT'S TIME it was equally matched by its neighboring superpower, Rome* !!!
The longest rivalry & conflict in human history is between Iran & Rome which lasted 780 years !!!
Ok Perhaps you can fake one side of the information in the west !! *but how the hell can you fake the other side from the east* ???!!!

As an Iranian, do y’all view Persia in a similar way westerners view Rome?
@@jalcobo I would say mostly, yes. Persian Empire was to us, like Greece and Rome to westerners. However, there is one significant distinction. We consider them (most of us do, at least) our forefathers and kin and see ourselves as their descendants and heir to their heritage. In this light, a Greek man will probably feel more relatable to ancient Greece than a British or Dutchman, for example.
I'm British. I've got some questions for her about a few minor artifacts the Romans apparently didn't leave behind in Britain....like Hadrian's f@cking wall !

After so many centuries of evolution, how the hell did we end up defending the existence of the Roman Empire and the shape of the Earth?
A lot of people have forgotten or ignore that our evolution is also designed around culture (i.e. socially communicated habits and information).
This gives a recovery advantage if things completely breakdown or are maladapted (we CAN start from scratch if needed), but also a weakness if we take things for granted and slack on maintenance and adaptation (technically, we ALWAYS start from scratch).
Liberalism is cancer. Who'd have thought...
Her ideas come from a pseudo historical conspiracy book series called “The new chronology” Anatoly Fomenko which argues ancient Roman civilization never existed and that all the innovations made by the Roman’s were actually made in the Middle Ages but were covered up by the Spanish Inquisition.
My theory is - becouse for about 20 years our kids inhaled much more twitter indoctrination than book learning. :)

It claimed that all of out mountains are actually massive silicone tree stumps. The theory was that all of our current trees are seedlings that will grow into mile high silicon trees but that 300 years ago they were harvested by some advanced species and we are nothing more than a genetically engineered working force left behind living in a planetary quarry.

As it is most teachers and parents only want science experiments to be fun or over the top big and exciting, not the real observations done by science. Not a real question that may get an answer that you are not expecting and therefore have to reevaluate your original hypothesis. This is too hard, too great a risk for a child to feel wrong and therefore be vulnerable to mental health problems (I'm not making this up, not hyperbole). Instead kids are taught race politics, gender bending, and of course diversity inclusion and equity. Math, science, reading and writing are all on the decline because we spend all our time integrating social policy into the core subjects, at the expense of the content of those core subjects. We've been doing this for 20 years and this is the result so far. What happens when this crop of indoctrinated kids gets out into the trap world? We are so screwed and nobody really understands the scale of this catastrophe. They will though, in 5 to 10 years.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who deny that CRT, while it exists just in law school at the moment (is nobody really questioning whether or not that is a big source of some of the problems we have been getting recently like repeat violent offenders going free?) there are those trying to shove it into k-12 education because "everybody is racist" and other bull crap about "white privilege".

I'm privileged for being threatened with being stabbed by some idiot 8th grader in a confederate cap and for the charter school system to go out of their way to cover for the jackass. I'm privileged because everybody considered me a pariah because of my anger issues that I got during my parent's divorce and bullying from other kids, and getting no real help for my anger issues. And I am totally privileged to have a conspiracy nutter for a mom who thinks I got my autism from the MMR vaccine even though all evidence points to it not being the case!
So this bull crap started with the same public education system that used to claim black people were inferior to white people. The same school system the Woke wants to teach every white kid that they're inherently racist (that will toooooooootallly not backfire on them by giving the far right new recruits). Granted it was fucking puritans (yes those same puritans) that came up with the public education system to begin with, the same system that is apparently vulnerable to catering to the demands of whoever is in charge while idiot activists decide to start preaching instead of teaching like they were Charismatic Christians (I was raised in those kind of nutter churches so I can see the similarities to both them and the left).
Too many people confuse skepticism with denial. A skeptic person questions something and doesn't stop until he/she finds enough answers to quench his curiosity. Someone in denial only accepts what he/she deems true regardless of the evidence, therefore embracing a dogmatic position.
Excellent point.
That and skepticism at least means you're open minded yet cautious, denial is when you simply wont hear reason and are completely closed minded. They do seem to embrace an almost cultist stance and treat their conspiracy theory like a cult and wont listen to reason and attack anyone who criticizes their belief, often labeling them as some sort of heretic who's an agent for whatever group they imagine is perpetrating the conspiracy.

I'm an actual anthropologist and archaeologist and historian that actually specializes in Ireland, but also western Europe. The Roman Empire left a massive indelible mark on the culture and places, and it was marked by the places it conquered and absorbed. Even distant Ireland, never conquered by the Romans, still traded with them, and there is material evidence of it. They bought Irish tin, iron, and silver. It was traded as far as Syria. Christian propaganda wouldn't facilitate that. Nor would it even be useful, since a lot of it would be talking about the glory of a pagan empire.

If Rome wasn‘t an empire and Greece was the dominant power back then, why aren‘t these languages influenced by greek?
@@Gurfi28 I agree completely how much Europe was influenced by Rome and Latin, but Greece was also plenty influential in european languages (democracy, phobia, acrobat to name a few words) and even influenced Rome enough they practically copy pasted the greek mythology and slapped their own names on it. Ancient Greece had a ton of influence on Europe, including on Rome itself. It wasn't the point of your statement but well, don't discount the influence of Greece!

Indeed, the internet for all its positive attributes has unfortunately also given a voice and a place for all the village idiots to congregate and recruit other ignoramuses to help them spread their ignorance on a global platform. The fact that anyone can believe such nonsense is the fault of education systems.
It must be difficult for a former teacher to come face to face with such ignorance. Before social media, such a person would have been found rocking back and forth in a park bench and talking to herself. Nowadays she is a blogger. We have somehow leveraged the internet's access to all the information in the world to create a generation that wallows in fact-less ignorance.
It's not a generational thing. It's an economic conjuncture thing, mostly. This has happened before, exactly a century ago. The technology is just much more advanced and dangerous.

Tik Tok is perfectly fine, you should not be "shunning" people for using Tik Tok, it is just a very addictive (as all things can be) form of media. I don't think too many people are falling for this stunt of hers, she is purposefully ignoring facts and creating drama which allows attention to be directed unto herself, this video from Metatron proving it. However, I support Metatron doing this, as he needs juicy content, and the fact that he is correcting her is helping people stay properly educated, in an entertaining format.
But we are all here because we know she's wrong. As long as discussion and debate is aloud on the internet it's not that bad. That's why censorship is so dangerous. If you censor the correct information it hurts everybody. That's why people like her should be able to say whatever they want, because no one should have the power to silence ideas. I say let all the stupid people spout nonsense. Then people like Raf will call them out.
I have a theory that the internet is a modern-day Tower of Babel. We've attempted to create a power beyond ourselves, and now humanity is being slowly eroded away for its hubris.

Well, at the time of Cicero it was well established that most of 'Plautian' plays were fake, and Terence was probably a black African, so neither obviously counts (and 'Roman' comedies were adaptations from Greek precursors as the prologues usually freely admit).

@@Segalmed am aware, am a theatrologist.

Because oakrans razor (I know that the spelling is wrong but she can not pronounce it correctly) and the wall was obviously a retaining wall for Mt. Olympus, all those excavation sites are fake, and the eternal city was built in the 90s
but mate Hadrian's wall is just a farm wall to keep the sheep from wondering. as for Roma it was a 'Greek town'. as for the rest its all part of the conspiracy son. or are you part of the white male empowering narrative? :)
the lady is sadly clearly cracked. its worrying that she has so many people following her. hopefully they are doing it for the fun of laughing at her. it would be shocking to think people are taking this stuff at face value.
I refuse to believe she's not just trolling. If genuine, she makes flat earthers seem reasonable.
a couple of months ago some dude in scandinavia found a buried treasure from the 8th century that contained a jewerly item wich had a gold coin engarzed. that gold coin was minted by Constantine the first and somewhat ended up centuries later a fashion item buried on the norse lands.
she would probably claim that it was a forgery to make us belive the narrative or something like that. the reality and implications are far more fascinating
My family is a mix of English and Irish. Always been very interested in Roman era Britannia. Super jealous you got to play on Hadrian's wall as a kid. I only got a rusty jungle gym. :(
I took Latin in school. I would love her explain how Greek 120 individual conjugations for a verb, but now they only have 50. I would love to see her conjugate a Latin verb. My final in Latin was to translate 3 paragraphs from a story. I spent most of that time trying to remember verb conjugations. How does she explain the change from Greek in Greek controlled territory, to Latin inscriptions in previous Greek controlled territories. IF THEY WERE NEVER CONQUERED BY ROME????????
It's almost painful to hear the words conjugation and declension again.
@@oblivionsa7973 Brings a whole new meaning to conjugal visit. It turned into something else XD
I think that was where Rome (like Venice) was a cultural and economic empire only.
@@oblivionsa7973 I loved it all. I did Latin & Greek to degree level. Maybe that's just me...can I add verb mood and verb tense to the list, please?
