Most early 1900's videos were completely and utterly faked. It's all a fucking lie. Why, I don't know, but it simply is. There are videos of people riding on bikes without touching the pedals for long ass periods of time (motorized bikes) and the such. Civilization is much more advanced than you think, and WAS much more advanced than you think.

This just goes to show this. Look at the fucking buses! That shit may sneak past one's eye, but overall, it's all fake. Plays like a movie to be quite honest. Seriously.

Mud flood. It's super retarded and points to Greek revival buildings as some world wide civilization instead of being what they are, an architectural revival.

It is a very interesting theory even if it is complete bullshit.
Couple of anons have explained it already, but it's basically suggested that the Tatars formed a global empire that took over Europe, known as Grand Tartary, which appears on some maps of the 1800s as well as being referenced in pop culture of the time (this is dismissed by mainstream sources as simply another name for The Mongolian Empire), that then (this part is never really explained by the theorists) went on to revolutionise America. Their "symbol" was the Quadriga; four horses pulling a chariot. These buildings contained running self-sustaining electrical systems as well as other secrets and needed to be destroyed. The concept of the "World's Fair" was then created as a guise to completely wipe these settlements from the face of the Earth, building fake constructions alongside real ones to create plausible deniability.
Much of this history was then allegedly destroyed sometime between 1775 - 1900, when the world was covered in mud and most of the adults with knowledge of the past were hunted down. Children of the murdered adults were placed on Orphan Trains and given new families.
They also have a thing for star-shaped forts; apparently they created some global force field which was eventually destroyed too.
And "flagpoles" on old buildings weren't flagpoles. Rather they were a combination of a micro power station and a lighting system bright enough to illuminate the entire building.
It really is just one of those weird-ass conspiracies that's an entertaining read or watch but not much more since it is just conjecture with nothing found that outright states "I went to the Tartarian capital and shot down some UFOs with the Star forts until some mud came down and destroyed all the free energy". I personally dismiss it, since there's just no fucking way you could be this thorough. To wipe not just an entire EMPIRE off the history books, but centuries' worth of technology and discoveries too. And then create fake history to go on top. You just can't do that.

However, it's very likely Pompeii was a lie, at least how we're taught it.
Yes, the city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, that much is true. The only question is when. AD 79 is what is known, but there are several signs that point to the big one actually being 1631, more than 1500 years later.
Firstly, in 1592, Domenico Fontana dug a water channel through Pompeii in order to bring water to nearby Torre Annunziata. As part of this, he also built water wells, which were uncovered when the city was unburied. Why would you build wells that no-one can use due to being buried under 15 feet of ash in the middle of nowhere, where nobody is likely to use them?
The next piece of evidence is the painting by master Raphael; The Three Graces. If he had not known about the existing work (which he wouldn't since it would still have been buried under metres of ash at the time), it is scarily similar to one found in the remains of Pompeii, with regards to the positioning of the trio. The theory goes is Raphael used this version as inspiration, but he obviously couldn't have if the eruption had buried it.
The next thing is a mosaic with a fruitbowl depicting an anachronistic piece of fruit (heh, see what I did there?). And no, there is no other fruit that could be. Please don't try to debate this. What this means is one of two things:
>Pineapple was discovered a lot sooner than 1493
>This mosaic was made a lot later than 79
Your choice.
And finally, Pompeii, despite being "lost to time" alongside Herculaneum, appears frequently on 1500s - 1600s maps, complete with Fontana's well. Meaning they knew not only about the city, about the name of the city, but the fact it had a well.
There was also a epitaph made in 1631 at the request of Viceroy Zunica that still survives to this day mentioning an eruption from Mount Vesuvius, with one of the lines reading as thus:
POMPEIOS HERCULANEUM OCTAVIANUM, PERSTRICTIS REАTINA ET PORTICU
Remember, this epitaph was made 150 years before those cities were rediscovered. Why should it care about a place lost to time that nobody had lived in for 1500 years?

They seem to be conflating a generic term that was used for lands inhabited by Turanic/Mongol/Turkic/"Tartar" peoples with a unified empire of some sort. It's like if Asians called Europe "whiteland" without distinguishing the nations within and in the future they thought it was some giant european empire on old maps.
People also forget that more than 2/3rds of Russia even today is historically conquered land. The ethnic Russian homeland is within the western 1/3rd.

And for a town forgotten by time, there sure are a lot of historic maps that know both its name and location.
It doesn't even have to be a conspiracy, for all we know there could have been two cataclysms that history has mistakenly folded into one due to the fact that nobody survived the second one. Might have been less than a century old on top of historic remains when it went up the second time, in the event that that's the case.
And here's the epitaph I was talking about, only photo of it I can find on the internet. There are two on the same wall and everyone photographs the bigger one, completely ignoring this smaller one that's on top and can only be seen from a distance. Allowing the anachronistic mentions of Pompeii and Herculaneum (back when it should have only been known as La Cività, with folks' tales claiming that a city was once located there) to hide in plain sight.
And in case anyone wants to debate the paintings of Charites with "oh, they're based on a historical description/sculpture" the positioning was entirely arbitrary until Raphael painted his version. Even versions that look similar like 3rd pic related still had some notable differences between the Pompeii and Raphael versions i.e. their arms aren't outstretched. The idea that Raphael painted his version so accurately to a version he otherwise could not have possibly known about due to dying 200 years before the city's unburial is truly astounding.
/x/ as of late seems to be filled with kneejerkers that appeal to feefees and just scream bullshit at everything without opening their mind to the possibility that we might be wrong. The overpopulation thread is clearcut evidence of this.
>>49192
Indeed it does, purely because we know that Fontana dug through and accidentally rediscovered the two cities while constructing his water infrastructure, yet didn't bother to mention it. From Wikipedia:
"After thick layers of ash covered Pompeii and Herculaneum, they were abandoned and eventually their names and locations were forgotten. The first time any part of them was unearthed was in 1599, when the digging of an underground channel to divert the river Sarno ran into ancient walls covered with paintings and inscriptions. The architect Domenico Fontana was called in; he unearthed a few more frescoes, then covered them over again, and nothing more came of the discovery. Fontana's covering over the paintings has been seen both as a broad-minded act of preservation for later times, and as censorship in view of the frequent sexual content of such paintings."
Like the source says, the names and locations were forgotten. So why are there maps from 1500+ years later with their names and locations clearly displayed? It shouldn't be physically possible.
I don't give a fuck if you're a Cultural Marxist of the highest degree: if you discovered signs of a past civilization that nobody was aware of, like FUCK would you rebury it for a future generation to discover. Everyone wants their name immortalized, if Fontana had disclosed the existence of the towns it would be his name appearing in all the books, not Alcubierre.

That's a fucking joke either way you slice it. The only time the USA was majority white was before they started importing mass amounts of slaves, for a very short time when it was nothing but unincorporated colonies. Never forget: the only definition of "white" that carries any water is the one that is literally only English protestants. The white race IS NOT just every non-Asian with pale-ish skin. Even Irish were not originally considered white.

Not to mention that the entire idea that the entire world could somehow be covered in a flood of mud (why not a flood of water…? afraid it would hit the Biblical reference TOO hard on the nose?) is geologically and physically absurd to the point of hilarity. Even a fucking six-year-old would find himself asking why there's not a layer of dried mud a mile thick everywhere underground as evidence that this happened.

You're conflating interest with belief. I'm interested in what these people think. I certainly don't fucking believe it given the mere hill of evidence that's supposed to supplement a non-existent mountain (quite ironic given the theory we're talking about here). They have no written accounts directly talking about their alleged Empire. There are no artefacts that bear the name of their Empire, nor the kings/emperors of this empire. Surely there'd be coins at the very least? That's why I can't believe it. Because coins are the one thing from every civilization, no matter how extinct they otherwise may be, that always manage to survive. If Tartary were real, there'd be coins. Someone would have a stash. Whether as an heirloom, a spoil of war, or otherwise. There are no Tartarian coins.
All I'm doing is literally pointing out that the history books don't tell you everything about Pompeii, and these retards are trying to incorporate some very valid questions about a place we otherwise know little about with their real-life fanon.
How did people know its name prior to Alcubierre's excavation in 1748? How did people know its location prior to Alcubierre's excavation in 1748? Or are you seriously going to tell me that these maps and the historical societies which they are kept under preservation by are faked too?

What reason would there even be to lie about Pompeii? Anyway, I'll do some research on this, especially Domenico Fontana's waterwell.
About Raphael's painting, it could just be that he copied the concept and pose from some other ancient source he had access to, of which Pompeii's work was just one of many ancient examples. It's well known that the Romans made copies of many Greek works of art.
The pineapple is really nothing mysterious for anyone who has more than a shallow knowledge of history. The ancient world was much more interconnected than it's usually assumed.

I'm not the guy you're responding to, but isn't it possible that people remembered Pompeii's name and location, either because some ancient Roman map had survived, or simply because the memory of Pompeii's destruction was still alive among the locals? And maybe Alcubierre knew about it in advance, which is why he decided to excavate there in the first place?

>try to insert politics into each and every subject. Movies, comics, technology, videogames… it doesn't matter
Not so simple, either. Everything IS political, or what do you think Gamergate was about? There is literally nothing - not food, not sex, not work, and especially not history - that is not related to the political these days.

Maybe it isn't the fault of people from /pol/, but the people who intentionally came here to disagree with them on purpose, for no other reason than to simply disagree and cause trouble? It's not the fault of /pol/ for not backing down from an attack of dishonesty, if they are in support of whatever the truth may be, and if in fact they were right. I'm not from /pol/ but even I see past this bullshit. Please reconsider who you hand out bans to in the future. Understand who the real shills and trolls are. Peace.

There is a huge effort to block people from /x/ from posting in /pol/ because /pol/ knows that memes, politics, and religion are all connected. There are also huge efforts to send trouble making shills (pretending to be from /pol/) to cause trouble on /x/ so that /x/ bans real /pol/ anons on sight or shuts down anything they say. There are also shills that come to /x/ and argue with anyone who even remotely sounds like they are from /pol/ so that it appears as if /pol/ always causes the trouble, which is in fact not true.
The goal: Separate /pol/ and /x/ from each other permanently. Why? because memes are paranormal and helped get trump elected. This is not about if you like trump or not. I don't care if you like trump or not, and you shouldn't really care if I do or don't. Totally missing the point. The real issue here is that some very wealthy people that believe they control the world HATE trump for doing things differently than they want. Trump being a good or bad guy has nothing to do with it. The bad guys believe if they can send enough shills to /pol/ and /x/ and separate them, that they will effectively kill 8chan's ability to meme politically. The end result is that the election will go a different way, possibly benefiting the bad guys, whoever they are. The bad guys want the election to go literally any other way possible because every other candidate is in their pocket on both sides politically. That's what this is all about. That is why this is happening.

i think he's also forgetting that many older bicycles have 'castor' brakes, if you stop peddling or pedal backwards you slow or stop. not like the finger levers of today. you can see he's trying to slow down due to people walking in front of him.

I'm 90% sure Fomenko's alternative chronology is wrong, but I'm going to read his books anyway. I wish there was more information in English about his theories and the "phantom centuries" theorists in general. A historian's input would be much needed and appreciated.

From as I understand it, reading both Wikipedia alongside the sources listed to make sure they've been paraphrased correctly, Pompeii and Herculaneum became nothing more than mere legends as those who remembered the eruption died off and details were lost through the generations. Their names and precise location were forgotten around the Middle Ages, and by the 15 - 1600s, the few people living in the region of Mt. Vesuvius would refer to it as La Cività - The Civilization. The legend entailed a lost city of some sort buried deep beneath Vesuvius' ash deposits, but nobody had any proof. There was no specific location, only a general area, and no specific name. Again, please correct me if I'm wrong. But that's how I understand it. Any mention of Pompeii and/or Herculaneum after the fall of the Roman Empire yet before 1798 is anachronistic, or at least they should be, since they refer to settlements that were not known by the general populace. And yet more than enough evidence exists that suggests they were never forgotten. As I showed in my earlier replies, maps from the 16th and 17th centuries, in addition to the 1631 stone epitaph all refer to the two cities by name. The two cities which had been buried by ash and forgotten by history for over 1500 years. Any way you cut it, those names should not be on the map. Nor should they be on that epitaph. I'm not gonna say it again but the names of the settlements around Mt. Vesuvius were supposedly rediscovered alongside the settlements themselves.
In conclusion, there can only be two possibilities:
<Pompeii was never truly forgotten, and 1798 is when they finally decided to dig it up and give Alcubierre some free recognition that he really didn't deserve
<Pompeii survived much, much later than when we are told, and whether it was a new city built over the ashes of the original, or the original city having never suffered from its alleged AD 79 destruction, we'll never truly know
I will say this though - apparently volcanic ash is acidic enough to completely destroy pigments after 200 years of direct exposure. Pigments used for, I don't know, mosaics? Yet the ones that were dug up look perfectly preserved. Now which is more likely - the mosaics and murals were buried under ash for 1700 years, or 170?

I've been reading more of what's on the StolenHistory website, and for all the sheer batshittery they've put out on display (a human cloning centre disguised as an 18th/19th century prison is one of their latest threads to give you some idea of how unhinged they all are), they've pointed out that everything we know about Genghis Khan is likely false, as it all comes from a 1908 book written by a fervent Mongolian nationalist, Baavuday Tsend Gun, whose cited sources are entirely nonexistent. If this is indeed the case, then we need a rethink over the entire history of Eurasia, since Khan was arguably its largest figure. There are references to a "Chingiscan" or some other derivative as the founding patriarch of the Tartarian royal family, but then that begs another question; was Tartary its own empire, or just a forgotten historical synonym for Mongolia? If Tartary was real, where are the artefacts? What was its currency, and what were its denominations? Why are there no surviving examples of said currency?
You can find coins from monarchs that ruled for a matter of weeks 2000 years ago, as the latest find in England discovered. Why can't we find any coins from any monarch that ruled what was allegedly the largest, most dominant Empire on the face of the Earth for several hundred years, finally being defeated 150 - 200 years ago? If someone can procure an actual coin bearing the mark of "Tartary", then the theory holds some solid ground and we really may be lied to on a massive scale. How massive is again up to you, whether it was just an Empire that history has forgotten despite its recency, or something completely destroyed by an unparalleled natural and man-made string of disasters that happened only a few hundred years after the death of Christ rather than 1800, with us living in year i/j500 or whatever Fomenko believes. But until then, it remains doubtful in my eyes.
Finally, for all you antiquarians out there, please tell me what in the flying fuck are these pictures supposed to depict? Second image is apparently a fireworks celebration with candlelight, and I must say the floating orbs inside the temple buildings were a nice touch. I found a colored version of the latter at one point as well, and most of this pole/antenna looking thing is lit in gaudy colors. if another anon could be so kind to relocate it for me then the rest of you can have a gander.

I noticed for a while before this all blew over that /x/ would regularly be covertly raided by those who shit on everyone's theories. Pointed it out in my initial reply. Politics is unavoidable, and the overly-vampireish representation in historical events of the past 200 years cannot be ignored. From their role in cementing Communism across Eastern Asia through to control of the global banking conglomerates, if overwriting history was in anyone's modus operandi, it would be theirs. It's real funny how the only event throughout the whole of human history that you are legally forbidden from questioning is their genocide in WW2.
