Red pill :
Rome in year 0 (2000 years ago) had more people than Stockholm today in 2025.
Red pill :
we wuz?
There is no year 0 you stupid frog kill yourself
source???!?
More white people for sure
How is that a redpill tho
it is true, the CIA stole a year of their time look it up
A year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini (AD) calendar year system commonly used to number years in the Gregorian calendar (nor in its predecessor, the Julian calendar); in this system, the year 1 BC is followed directly by year AD 1 (which is the year of the epoch of the era). However, there is a year zero in both the astronomical year numbering system (where it coincides with the Julian year 1 BC), and the ISO 8601:2004 system, a data interchange standard for certain time and calendar information (where year zero coincides with the Gregorian year 1 BC; see conversion table). There is also a year zero in most Buddhist and Hindu calendars.
This can't be true
What did Romans look like?
Like this
in ancient rome the average life expectancy was 20-30yrs
in stockholm today the average life expectancy is 83yrs
This can't be true
bro the romans didn't even start using AD until the 500s nobody cared about jesus until the christians took over
Let me guess, you've taken infant mortality into account. Once you outgrew childhood, dying at 60-70 was normal in antiquity
There were even people in their 80s
encyclopedia that anyone can edit
"source"
Ah yes the famous Australian expert and scholar, go count the fleas on the kangaroos' tails
dying at 60-70 was normal in antiquity
no that is an extreme minority of elites
i googled it wtf you have that too italy
the Bible tells us people in ancient times lived till 120 THOUGH
stop bringing very obvious and logical facts as a revelation, this is not news or le red pill, every retard knows the capital of the Roman empire was larger than fucking stockholm
That's what happens when you eat kosher
the Bible
bro it's the worst fanfic ever written
rome wasn't where the current rome is (unless ur an idiot). it is long buried, under milan area. the modern day rome is a made up larp that was triggered by british classicists cause they were so in love with that era. yes. rome existed, to say otherwise is demented, but to pretend its the same one is fucken laughable.
dumbfuck australian parrotting normie uneducated nonsense. lemme guess do we only use 10% of our brain too??
under milan area
Yeah that's why all the ancient Roman roads pointed to Central Italy, Latium
did you read the rest of what i wrote or are u just being wilfully blind? yes italy was all part of the roman empire. but the nottion of some "epicenter city" that just happens to be where rome is is fucken hilarious. i will give it to the italian ppl who realized they could capitalize on the dumb brits and frenchmans fascination with rome tho.
have you ever read a single Roman history book? Milan was some gallic backwater shithole for most of the Roman empire's history
wtf, where are all the roads for cars?
lemme guess do we only use 10% of our brain too??
maybe in canada by the sounds of it
cuckipedia sources. wow!
no. but most of rome is long buried underground. the shit like the parthenon was made in the 18th century/into the 19th to capitalize on the new "italy craze" that became fashionable for rich brits n french. like lol dont u think its a little too "perfect" how it all worked out?
it's not crazy because it didn't work out perfectly at all retard
most of the Roman monuments were buried underground or usually taken apart by the Pope to build churches, just because one of them survived in good conditions it doesn't mean it was all "perfect"
you're almost there. while the pope did pull up the monuments to build their sacriligeous churches and thats how much of the history of rome was done away with... does your mind not obviously think "wtf is the so callled collosium doing there". the brikcs would have been picked apart and used to build a church. and the idea that latium and rome are 1-1 the same is also bullshit thats been taught over and over so its hard to pry people away frokm that.
the coliseum WAS picked apart for materials
what you see today are the ruins of what it was back then
the only reasons it wasn't completely removed are because it's enormous and because they eventually made it a sacred place and put stations of the cross there
the only reasons it wasn't completely removed are because it's enormous
bro the logic isnt even internally consistent. if rome was this super powerhouse where "all roads led to" obviously many many people/city planners etc would have access to it during the middle ages. the fact that its not completely stripped makes 0 sense if rome was actually where they said it was.
rome was a powerhouse in the ancient world
in the middle ages it was basically abandoned
look it up
they still had road systems leading to there as per the theory so why wouldnt the popes and kings in germany/charlamagne/the french royals/whoeevr wouldnt use it strip it
What's the red pill?
it was a wasteland, cattle were grazing in the forum, why would anybody go to rome to pick up rocks
they still needed bricks. its not as if they had modern tech where they could make bricks. a brick even one would have been valuable those days. everyone needed them to build their palaces. "oh ok let's just leave this fucking giant structure there when we need bricks ourselves". ESPECIALY druing the european "cathedral building phase".
sources
yours is a crack pipe eh
go be a science cultist somewhere else
they can make bricks just fine locally, beats walking to Rome
no its your mom. she is a slut !! (i fuck her and she teaches me about rome)
back then bro. not really. and the opportnunity cost for ppl in medici centers, papal centers would be low since theyre close to "rome"
Castles and churches in the middle ages were built on stones not on bricks
Besides roman concrete its harder to break than modern concrete
No one would break their backs trying to pick brics on ancient rome
Now eat a dick and die
open a book libtard
2000 - 2000 = 0
1 bc
science cultist
your mum teaches me about rome
perhaps you two should form a self help group for losers who got owned on the internet.
i'm out this thread sucks
so ok monkey, if u read itt this italian flag was talking about how ppl DID pick colosium ruins (as per the theory). so there goes ur retarded argument.
They picked fallen stones from the earthquakes that happened there in the middle ages
no. those stones if they were strong enough to shatter off a brick the brick would have been turned to dust on the floor. so ur theory is a earthquake occurred then the rueopean royals would send envouys doen there to do "brick collection". fucking kek. eat another coconut jose
european royals would send envoys
it was the Pope who lived nearby
yes but other euriopean royals would send people down to collect the bricks as well (IF this was true). they all had embassadorships with the pope, they would hvae been aware of a mega structure near the papal authority and purchased some brick
No one reused bricks thats retarded,bricks become damaged once you try to pick off the concrete,stone however was reused
And the ones who picked thoses rocks was the local people and clergy not some french or anglo ruler that came all the way to rome to pick sonething they could find in their local area
ok so now youre just straight up stretching what i said to make it sound ridiculous. obviously the local clergy.pope would have taken it first and yes even locals for their own purposes.
but to think that a huge wellspring of building materials is available and no political entities would take advantage is retarded. they would send their guilds etc not go personally wtf.
lmao bringing the materials to the construction site is the biggest operation in the construction of a cathedral (or other), they were certainly not going to travel 1000 fucking kilometers to get uneven stones wtf.
Only the local clergy (The Pope) had the right to pick off those ruins
And i stand to be correct it seems bricks were picked off one by one and reused,but like i said places that the roman conquered could use their local roman ruins for the material like they did.
