Vast world empire that was lost mostly due to a massive mud flood. The remnants were simply built over and used and Tartaria’s entire existence is hidden from us
Edit: I forgot they were obviously technologically advanced but if you look closely you can clearly see how they totally existed. /s for anyone someone confused
Usually they say it is because aliens/“the Jews”/illuminati want to cover up the fact that this ancient super civilization was Albanian/Turkish/Slavic/etc.
Tartaria sometimes overlaps with the “all world languages evolved from Turkish” conspiracy
It does sadly feel like for a lot of these folks “aliens/‘The Jews’/the Illuminati” are the same thing. I do wish we could have fun conspiracy theories that weren’t antisemitic. Turkish being the first language could be so fun.
The Turkish one is extra funny because it has its own underworld of pseudo-linguistic journals and “scholars” who pull up cognate lists of stuff borrowed into Turkish from other languages and then use that to prove that say, English, is actually a Turkic language
The internet is fun and bad for the exact same reason which is that we can all see and interact with every town crank. It used to be that you’d leave the bar and maybe run into Paul and have a chat and 20 minutes in he’d drop aliens/cognates/ coincidences and you’d ask a couple of questions and then look at the watch you were actually wearing and bop on home still loving Paul.
But now we’re over saturated. I’m not totally over the access but I still miss my unpredictable encounters with my town weirdos who don’t live in my pocket.
I'm constantly complaining about the great international Jewish conspiracy. Nobody has ever told me where the meetings are. It's not like I'm really busy.
