that's just rubbish. scholars have debated on what caused the Roman empire to collapse for 200+ years, and to claim that it was caused by elite disparities or environmental collapse is just as ridiculous as the idiotic shitclaim that it was caused by lead.
"dramatic collapse of the Roman Empire" my arse, and even claiming that the development is cyclic and that it should be considered to be a fact is just ridiculous. they're effectively disregarding most of Roman/Chinese/Indian history!
i wonder what they use to measure advancement though? "equally if not more advanced than the Roman Empire"
history is not a game of civilization ffs.
it's just... disregard that shit, it's wrong.
e: and on the topic of Cosmos - don't believe the rubbish about lead, the Library of Alexandria, Platon etc. etc. that they poison peoples' minds with.
