      Why even make the whole Roman empire up? It’s like the flat Earth shit. What’s the point in hiding this? There’s just no logic to those conspiracy bullshit.

        You see, they hide the fact that the earth is flat because they can hang “space” lasers from the firmament and tell everyone it’s impossible while burning down all of the houses that aren’t 66.6hz devil blue without suspicion.

        The issue with the Romans is that without the Roman empire we don’t have the evil Roman Catholic Church. Big Hat is in league with them because the “church” is the single largest purchaser of Pope hats in the world. Follow the money! Do your own research! Evangelicals are the only ones who don’t have lasers or wear hats so that’s the one true religion. There’s no economic reason for evangelicals to hide things.

        Or something like that, probably.

          Flat Earth? Firmament?

          Sir, I assure you that the Earth is round… For the Space Lasers move separately from the stars fixed upon the Firmament! Clearly they are hung within the Crystal Spheres which revolve around us! And how could those divine Spheres revolve, were the Earth not round?

        It’s not about the information itself, it’s about getting the people who are dumb enough to believe this to question all of their education.

        “If they were wrong about this what else were they wrong about?”

        Whoever started this little ‘rumor’ is heavily suspect.

      Definitely new for me too, but there is no bottom to the crazy.

        Well, the Romans were fakes though. Bunch of knock-off, budget Etruscans. Couldn’t even come up with their own pantheon and instead just copied it from the Greeks. 😋

          and instead just copied it everything from the Greeks.

            Be Greek

            Get conquered by Romans

            They’re huge weebs for your culture, steal everything

            Adapt to theirs as well, create an unstoppable military and economic machine

            Call yourselves Romans now

            West Rome collapses, your part of the Empire lasts another thousand years

            “They weren’t really Roman”

            “So… you’re just neo Greeks?”
