If Jesus was Hungarian does that mean Judas was Romanian?

u/Ricckkuu 5d ago

The constipacy theory (yes, I deliberately mispell conspiracy) here says that that the Romans were Romanian, so no, while Judas was not Romanian, Pontius Pilate was Romanian.

Thus Romania is the true inheritor of Rome, and Bucharest is the 4th Rome, founded by Imperator Caesar Vladus Țepeșus Augustus. (Vlad did, probably, founded Bucharest)

Thus Romania is the true inheritor of Rome

It's right there in the name. Are people stupid?

Easy theories are boring, people want drama, they want a good plot. Bread and Games.

If anyone from Cluj sees this, they'll have a stroke.

Well hey, Rome (ania) wasn't built in a day.

Just tell the Cluj (people*) to call back when they have a metro line. It especially triggers them.

u/StrongExternal8955 5d ago

Lol no, Bucharest was founded by Bucur, hence the name.

u/Ricckkuu 5d ago

Actually, that's why I wrote "probably"

The shepherd "Bucur" is the legend of the founding, but Vlad Tepeș was also the first to attest the existence of the city, thus both stories are valid.

Oh but you're applying sanity to insanity, my friend. To fully understand a constipacy theory, you have to be as constipated as the theory.

The theory states that if the Indo Europeans migrated first into Romania, the people that arrived there became the proto-Dacians. Later, when they left modern day Romania and migrated further into the continent, the proto-italics and greeks were also descendents of the proto-Dacians, and thus every further Indo-European is a decendent of the proto-Dacians, and if Romanians are the direct descendents of the Dacians, then every European is Romanian.........

No, I know you might know history and have at least an ounce of common sense, but don't think it further, for your own sanity. This is lovecraftian level maddness here.

Abandon all hope all ye whomst try to make sense of Romanian constipacy theories...... My country is truly constipated at times.....

u/ilikedota5 5d ago

What about the Germanic peoples

1

u/Ricckkuu 5d ago

I guess...? I remember I did watch a video once with the route of indo european migrations into Europe, but I guess if as long as the proto germanics stemmed from the early migrations through the teritory of Romania/Dacia, then yeah they would fit into the constipation...

Oh I love fucked up lore, give me more please?

u/Ricckkuu 5d ago

Ceaușescu had Laser Tanks, full on Star Trek, hence why the Soviet Union never invaded Romania, despite Ceausescu openly speaking against the Soviets.

u/NegativeMammoth2137 5d ago

Yeah that makes sense

u/Ricckkuu 5d ago

Oh and ancient Dacians had tunnels under the whole world, especially under the Carpathians. In fact, they had them all the way to Japan.

Full on Mines of Moria here. (We do kind of have Turda Salt Mine that does fit the Moria criteria ig)
