Nil illegitimus carborundum.I need to dust this thread off in order to pay homage to an incredibly misinformed person encountered on the interwebs.
Archaeology Magazine posts great articles on Facebook and *usually* has a well informed following with great replies to their posts (unlike Smithsonian Mag, who's posts attract idiots like moths to a porch light).
The artical AM posted, was about the Olive Groves of Zita, which drove a rich economy until the vast Olive orchards were cut down by the Romans to fuel iron smelters.
Ok, so there were some good responses to the article until "J Elle Cox" showed up and gave us gems like this:
"J Elle Cox
Bruce E Tutcher Rome never existed in the west. It's a fantasy made up by the 'Slava Ukraini' fascists to give themselves history that never existed. All ancient history of civilization comes from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Steppe. Europe was backwater uncivilized peeps, historically, and the fascist policies they're promoting mow will put them back in the same place, imo. If you've never read the honest Roman Catholic priest/father admitting that no one ever spoke Latin or wrote it to actually communicate with people, then it's a great topic yo inform yourself about. 'Rome' is Disneyland, imo."
To get a better idea of where she's coming from, she 100% serious and even believes California belongs to Russia, because they "discovered it in 1812".
Never mind that the Spaniards were already here in California for 200 years...
By the way, here's Archaeology Magazine's article (on their website), if anyone's interested:

Nope, you can't use Latin, it was made up by the fascist Ukranians when they invented the myth of Rome. It doesn't actually exist.Nil illegitimus carborundum.
I recall seing that before.I have encountered this school of philosophy before. I don't remember all the details, except it was a Russian pushing the idea that the Slavs were God's chosen people, Russia was the center of civilization and everything we believed about history was "consentual history". In other words a made up fable to prop up the myth of Western Civilization.
I know quite a few Russians who are great guys. Let's not being dragged into a hate campaign.
The average Russian doesn't have the same access to information that we take for granted. Whether it's willful ignorance or keeping your head down, I don't know. I suspect it's both.
The problem in this case, is that the female posting that nonsense, is an American living in Las Vegas.Find all Russian nationals who have visas and deport them all.
Well, actually she lost the BET! Where is my money???"BET Rome never existed in the west. It's a fantasy made up by the 'Slava Ukraini' fascists."

Facebook has been blocked in Russia, Twitter has been limited, the only way Russians are receiving news from the west is through short wave BBC Brings Back Shortwave Radio Broadcasts in RussiaThe average Russian doesn't have the same access to information that we take for granted.
