-Belief that there was an ancient civilization called Tartaria that was purposefully erased. It goes into a bunch of different theories, that they were a race of giants (often white red-headed giants) and that they were growing babies and that the world's fair were a method to erase these old civilizations. It's all bonkers and esily disproven. What is odd to me is /why/ this started, this is an entirely internet based conspiracy theory that is being continually fuelled by scammers. Why is it getting traction? is the traction organic, or guided? what does it mean to fully create your own version of the past?

Within a few minutes you realize it is all AI doing generative versions of a history video. the user is literally ai-historyman. What is the point of this? Why these videos?

-Tartaria didn't really emerge as a conspiracy theory until 2016 or 2018, with the biggest uptick in popularity being in 2018...around same time as Qanon, increased flat earth stuff, and a year before Epstein's assassination.
