What if Rome never truly fell? What if, instead of crumbling into dust, the empire simply changed forms—shifting its power into new institutions that still rule the world today? In this episode, we pull back the Vatican veil and uncover the eerie echoes of Rome’s influence in modern governments, global finance, secret societies, and, of course, the Church itself.
From the Holy Roman Empire to the European Union, from ancient legal codes to international banking systems, we explore the spine-chilling possibility that Rome never disappeared—it just went underground. Is the Vatican the beating heart of an empire that refuses to die? Are modern superpowers merely puppets on the strings of a shadowy, ancient force?
Buckle up for a deep dive into history’s greatest game of imperial hide-and-seek. Because Rome may be gone—but is it really?
