Metatron is a reliable specialist in Roman history, prolific video producer on the subject, multi-linguist, re-enactor and collector of artefacts, witty and humane, thinks of all potential issues to cover (even has a video of his girlfriend modeling Roman make-up). And he responds (below).

A history TikToker's viral claim that Ancient Rome 'didn't exist' is getting backlash from academics

.... The TikToker, whose handle is @momllennial_ and name is listed as "Donna D2," has racked up 94,000 followers and 1.8 million likes since joining the platform in July 2020. Her bio states that she has a bachelor's degree in anthropology and history, and she has posted numerous videos about history, including Ancient Rome.

In one such TikTok posted on November 16, she said that Ancient Rome didn't exist and was "a figment of the Spanish inquisition's imagination." She also falsely claimed there isn't a single extant "Roman document" or "primary document," despite the reported existence of Roman documents and tablets with Latin written on them. ....

She also claimed in a TikTok posted November 22 that Hadrian's Wall, a Roman defensive military wall, "cannot be proven to be of Roman construction" and falsely said that it's not a wall, but a road. ....

It's not the first time @momllennial_ has made provocative history-themed videos. In one video posted in late October, she appeared to suggest that the name "Jesus Christ" could be translated to "clitoris healer." In June, she posted a TikTok where she appeared to speculate that Alexander the Great was actually a woman. ....

1. Sanpaku Eyes

.

According to Chinese/Japanese medical[citation needed] face reading, when the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, is visible beneath the iris, it represents physical imbalance in the body and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts, and people who over-consume sugar or grain. Conversely, when the upper sclera is visible it is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. In either condition, it is believed that these people attract accidents and violence.[2]

4. Yip, Metatron defines her as a conspiricist.

Those have a lot in common with flamers - ignore/don't listen to reasons/explanations, go round and round in their own insistences, project ugly motives on others, tell others what can be posted, talk down as though from On High, claim to be more understanding/virtuous/kinder than their target, convene fellow mob supporters to swarm, have a select target list while preferring not to look for thousands of posts to be positive in, etc.

5. A few years ago I would have said social media was a place these loons could yell into the void

and it would keep them occupied while most everyone else would have the sense to ignore them. It's now obvious the second part of my thesis was very, very wrong. 94,000 followers, jeez.
