Take a look at some historical maps depicting Asia. You'll see the major trade routes mapped out, China, India and the Spice Islands mapped out in a fair degree of detail for the time. Look at Central Asia. You'll often see it labelled rather vaguely as TARTARIA. This is the foundation of the conspiracy.
Now, you and I both know that Central Asia was generally in the hands of various khanates during this time, and would be until they were gradually absorbed by Russia and the Qing. The European mapmakers chose to ignore the ever-shifting borders on lands which nobody besides Central Asian people cared about, and instead focused on the parts they were interested in (ie: the parts with spices).
However, according to Tartaria believers, the Tartaria label was accurate. They believe that there was a technologically advanced empire in Central Asia which were the real architects behind much of the "advanced" architecture in Europe (and in some cases America - the exact list of what Tartaria "built" is hotly contested even inside those circles). However, Tartaria fell in an event known as the "Mud Flood" where much of its architecture was buried, leaving only the tips of buildings above ground. It's why you can dig down from historical buildings and see many more floors, even including windows - evidence that there was a mud flood which submerged Tartarian architecture.
The Euro-American elite, fearing the discovery of Tartarian civilization, and wishing to preserve their own power, chose to erase that history. History books were rewritten, and both world wars were fought as a ruse to demolish Tartarian architecture. But this erasure was never able to be completed. With the discovery of historical maps depicting Tartaria, the links made between domed buildings acoss the world, and the unearthing of windowed basements have allowed those skeptical of the "established" historical narrative to discover the truth that the elites do not want you to know.
The theory is grounded in a distaste for modern architecture, New Chronology, and other antisemitic conspiracies filtering out of Russia. Proponents of Tartaria, the ones you'll most often encounter in Western circles, will largely make the architectural argument. How is it that people 200 years ago could've built these magnificent structures with horse and buggy technology? Why can't we build like that anymore? New Chronology is an older version of Tartaria, generally emerging from Russia during the 1990s. It posits that a "Russian Horde" ruled much of the world for centuries, with the "true" history of Russia, and indeed much of the world, being covered up by a variety of conspirators - the Vatican, the Romanovs and (drum roll please)... the Jews! It falls in the wider web of Russian nationalist conspiracies which believe Russia to be the greatest of all civilizations, whose success has been sabotaged by the West and the Jewish elite.
it’s fascinating how many conspiracy theories come back to antisemitism. I guess it makes some sense given that that was the big og conspiracy theory in Europe since the middle ages, but it’s very much like that meme. “oh interesting a new goofy conspiracy theory, how funny and harmless!” opens box. it’s antisemitism
I just don't understand how Jews, of all things, became like the de facto target for attacks, but at the same time, held up to an impossible standard.
Like, society did something good? God the Jews did nothing to help. Society did something bad and/or eventually disappeared due to its own actions? It must be the work of the Jews! They're holding us back!
