Declassified cold war CIA sattellite images "uncover 396 Roman forts in the Middle East"

---

don't you think this is ridiculous ?

It basically means:
just fucking make anyone look at the area - in this case spy sattellite footage, getting declassified 50 years later.

immediately changes everyone's perception of Roman empire's construction

xD

cuz no one is looking

🙈

also should we still continue calling everything old 'roman'? - or we slowly coming back around to find out about the old world unified high culture (pyramids everywhere, even china, aether tech antenna old world architecture bombed in world wars, etc...)

What we know of Rome depends on what we study.
The above image are Roman forts we know of, and the below picture includes 396 recently discovered forts from analyzing declassified images from spy satellites during the cold war.

Just in this study area

And who says they were Roman?
We basically know nothing about our past and the old world in general.

And "Roman" + Vatican just kept destroying any sources..
