Well this is a new one for me. Ancient Rome denial?

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.

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?"

"No no, we're equally obsessed with building roads."
