by the way the tiktoker claiming ancient rome isn't real is @ momllennial_ if you want some prime entertainment

basically her claim is that rome was created by the spanish inquisition to "rebrand" and that there are no primary sources, and the primary sources that do exist are in greek or phoenician (even though the examples she uses are clearly in handwritten latin, which... would obviously share roots with greek and phoenician). she believes pompeii is basically an 1800's theme park and the graffiti there was all done by victorians. when asked about inscriptions on stone she says they can't possibly be that old because they would be more weathered by now (as if there aren't barely-visible inscriptions in some places) and when asked about hadrian's wall she says that the latin on it is total gibberish because she... can't process that ancient romans abbreviated words and didn't use spaces? she literally doesn't think the latin alphabet existed until the 1500's. honestly half of her videos make next to no sense, but some of them have thousands of likes and some of the commenters seem to be fully convinced.

and and AND she constantly compares ancient rome to disneyland. she seems FULLY convinced that ancient rome is some kind of constructed theme park that we have horribly misinterpreted as an actual historical society.
