Where to start with Kevin's mind....where oh where....
Let's start someplace you can't find on a map, that's where! Somewhere that's been purposefully erased from all of history. A civilization so advanced and enlightened that it had to be systematically destroyed. Tartaria.
Haven't heard of Tartaria? You're not alone (including my spellcheck, which doesn't think it's a real word). In short, Tartaria was a vast civilization, spanning the globe, bringing scientific and cultural wonders to the world.
This civilization, so epic and profound, was summarily destroyed by targeted mud floods. All of their technology and architecture was lost in the mire (sometime in the 1700s?). Or so we thought! Ancient buildings have be unearthed over time and are now claimed to be "built" by our contemporaries.
That gorgeous cathedral in your city? Built 2000 years ago. Mud Flood.
Pittsburgh? Totally ancient. Mud Flood.
What Tartaria really boils down to is that it's a fun pastime for those who aren't wholly adept at history, or architecture, or engineering, or gardening, or public speaking. It's what has been called, "...a version of history for people who like conspiracy theories" and "the QAnon of architecture."
Does Kevin love conspiracy theories? Yes. Is Kevin an avid QAnon follower? Also yes. But please thank the Tartarians (Tartites?) next time you walk through Union Station. In the words of Obama....
