And I have to wonder, do they think the Bible is also fake? Because I seem to recall the Bible saying that the Romans were in charge in Judea during the time of Jesus.

Metatron is an Ancient Rome expert with a YouTube channel who addresses her misconceptions fairly, and without a lot of judgement. And good for him. When I run across people this stupid and demented, I can only shake my head sadly...
