The belief people hundred of years ago were stupid blows my mind, the mud flood theories and tartaria makes more sense the more I look at it. It really was a challenger to the HRE a collition of now dead empires and outcasted ones today made to rival the HRE and European powers through time. History is easily erased and remade by the winners, or else colonial history "" wouldn't be a thing.

So is history is easily erased! Please look into it, use chat gpt. They were described to have tactics, militaries and a trade based empire. People say it was fear based generalization and tartars we're just a catch all name... But we had boats we had birds we still have tribes in the middle of nowhere uncontacted that you couldn't get to without a boat! People like to travel! I find it hard to believe people were so naive, instead it was an erased collition of empires a system of power that was such a threat close to taking over the power that was 1000s of years in the making it had to be erased. If all roads lead to rome who's to say they didnt have genuine threats?
