The author needs to become familiar with the works of Philip K. Dick. Maybe more of a religious epiphany than a conspiracy theory, but he's famous for saying "the Empire never ended".
- permo-w 4y agowell it is true that there is a central power in Rome, set up by Romans, exerting huge influence across the world. whether it's accurate to describe it as an empire is another matter
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoIt's not as overt as it used to be - and I don't think it's a singular empire anymore either - but there are still Powers That Be everywhere, vying for control and influence across multiple dimensions - military supremacy, economy, information, etc.
- indigochill 4y agoBut that's been going on since at least ancient Egypt so we might as well say the Egyptian Empire never ended if that's your standard.
- throwaway_4747 4y agoWell technically not the Egyptians, but they were a huge part of it in their culture. All one needs to do is look into Mystery Babylon and the Illumined ones. Very deep rabbit hole and is very interesting to learn about.
- vintermann 4y agoI think Philip K. Dick would have been quite OK with the suggestion that the Empire which never ended was also the Egyptian one.
