Ornate architecture is the other sign of Tartaria for this community. Any grand-old building, in any style will do. It could be the Pyramids, Neoclassical columns, the Eiffel tower, Star Forts, or Gothic churches If you live in a city, I promise you people have found Tartaria there 4/5
Basements are the smoking gun that you’ve found a mud flood building. Thousands of videos have been filmed around the world of basement windows at or below the street level As they put it: “The eyes are useless when the mind is blind” 3/5
An online community of millions believe that all of history, even recent history is a lie. The powers-that-be have conspired to hide the Tartarian Empire from sight. A Great Reset So, thy wander their neighborhoods and scan black and white photographs to find evidence of Old World Tartaria 2/5
