It’s humbling to think of how the pathways of accepted history get blinded by the suppression, or more likely disregard for information that doesn’t align with the framework of religious or cultural belief. Makes you wonder about what things that are crucial and important to us now will be in the dustbin 500 years from now!
I was hooked to “Age of Empires” as a kid. I remember asking a teachers and others if Alexander the Great invaded India, and the Romans were building walls in Scotland, why didn’t they bother visiting anyone in India, Ethiopia, etc.
The answers were always unsatisfactory to me… I’m glad people are pursuing this knowledge.

Even near my hometown, Roman coins are often found regularly every few years or so. If I remember correctly, each peppercorn was equivalent to one Roman gold coin.
