Many. As an archaeologist speciialising in Roman Britain, I can say we have learnt lots.. But I know you will want absolute certainty, that's one thing I can't give you, but one thing you want to me to accept from your spurious claims.

I am happy to admit my studies are tentative, but they are well evidenced and ultimately unimportant.

Your studies are poorly evidenced but apparently world changing.

The ball is in your court, unless you think the minor Roman roads of Britain are the key to humanity's salvation.

We are not talking about piecing things together from broken pottery. We have dozens of period documents that almost all scholars believe are 99% they way the were written. Nothing to piece together--either it happened or it didn't. Please explain to me what verification is possible in 2017 of any series of specific events in ancient times? Otherwise, it is a case of special pleading.
