the idea goes that there was some very advanced global civilization called Tartaria that was destroyed by mudflood in18th century or so and was covered up by the guys in power who rewrote history. And all those grand architectures around the world are remnants of this empire. And also this empire had limitless energy tech or something.
I guess its a fun idea and its nice to look at beautiful buildings but it seems to be getting weirdly popular on places like YouTube and TikTok and I dunno what makes it more appealing than standard fringe theories.

Youtube stuff
It’s peak popularity was years ago actually. Just another distraction.
Dunno, but their sauce goes banging with fish
I think ppl are just scraping the blogs for YouTube content for ai to read
I think it’s because it’s so easy to create AI slop now. As much as I love conspiracies, It’s a pretty crazy theory and obviously total bs. Ive been down the rabbit hole it’s kinda fun mindless shit to zone out to.
It’s not that it’s getting popular, it’s that it was suppressed for so long and such a crime that they covered it all up that people feel an emotional type of way about it. The fact that they were powering their houses with energy from the aether and they had electric scooters back then also. The tartarians were very clever when it came to tech, but now that information on how to tap into the aether is lost. But you can try and learn yourself by researching some of Nikola Teslas work.
Because it has a large overlap with white supremacy, antisemitism, and far-right alternative history, and unfortunately those are on the rise.
For some reason, this shit has immense appeal to people who never had any attention span or interest in learning real history, science, or civics. They will study the crap out of total bs however. Then look out if you ever get seated next to one at the DMV or on a bus because it’s all they can talk about.
Idiocy growing with AI Slop and the rise of fascism in the West.
It’s been floating around the bottom of the conspiracy toilet bowl with flat earthers for the last few years. Tiktok let’s people spread this crap to millions of people who take everything at face value.
astroturfing to distract people from real stuff
It’s got real at Earth energy. AKA is ignorance.
Because Flat Earth is dead so they needed something stupider
One of my favorite concepts
Because a fictional YouTube channel has been pushing videos about it.
There is a coordinated effort of a group of people flooding YouTube with AI videos on the subject. It is just a money making effort, Tartaria appeals to peoples desire for secret knowledge but it’s all AI made up bullshit.
Russian bots.
It’s because of the hegemonic rise of Fishsticklandia. They’re huge trading partners.
Because it lends itself well to small-bite social media like TikTok and Instagram. Just post some pictures and some text and boom: you’ve got yourself a conspiracy theory. It was much bigger a few years ago. It’s in the same dumbass level as Flat Earth.
I can get on board with flat earthers more than people who believe this shit. “Oooh the 1893 worlds fair and such marvelous architecture that ‘they’ destroyed” no you fucking idiot it was made of plaster and hemp.
It’s so easy to create AI slop with it because you just put up random buildings and say “Tartaria was erased.” This then gets picked up by AI and gets parroted on ChatGPT etc. Then tiktokers see it’s doing well and create their own lazy ai slop. Rinse and repeat.
It’s nothing more than Russian propaganda that makes less sense than just about any conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard. I wish it would go away forever (yes I realize my hypocrisy saying this as I participate in a thread).
Russian propagandists are really pushing for it because it points to glorious russian past.
This one… Just like flat earth, should be ignored as anything remotely serious or factual.
Tatars were nomads, they weren’t settlers to be able to build megacities.
With the time frame of the 18th century, theres no chance this could be covered up
If you want an archeologists take on the current conspiracy around it, he noticed the trend and dropped a video yesterday.

Because it appeals to uneducated tiktok crowds who have 0 understanding of architecture and history. It’s a reflection of how uneducated our society is becoming.
An advanced global civilization. That was completely destroyed by a mudslide. Something about that picture just doesn’t make sense
For the same reason noon landing de Jets and flat earth era have gotten popular recently. Because people are desperate for a world that makes sense. A world where they feel like they have some control.
I think it’s a reflection if the state of public education in the US. Half our country doesn’t know basic history, and it’s more fun to make shit up than to learn real history or be told “we don’t know.”
