(Western) Roman Empire fell in AD 476
however (Eastern) Roman Empire lasted until AD 1453, known as the Byzantine Empire
in that year, the Ottoman Empire took over, and lasted until AD 1922

thus the Roman Empire literally only fell a century ago. holy gently caress.

Correspondence between the Ottoman sultan and the Cossacks posted:

Sultan Mehmed IV to the Zaporozhian Cossacks:
As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians � I command you, the Zaporogian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.[30][failed verification]

[Letter of the Zaporozhian Cossacks of Ukraine replying to the Sultan of Turkey]

Thou Turkish Devil!
Brother and companion to the accursed Devil, and Secretary to Lucifer himself, Greetings!
What the hell kind of noble knight art thou? Satan voids and thy army devours. Never wilt thou be fit to have the sons of Christ under thee. Thy army we fear not, and by land and by sea in our chaikas we will do battle against thee.
Thou scullion of Babylon, thou beer-brewer of Jerusalem, thou goat-thief of Alexandria, thou swineherd of Egypt (both the Greater and the Lesser), thou Armenian pig and Tartar goat. Thou hangman of Kamyanets, thou evildoer of Podolia, thou great silly oaf of all the world and of the netherworld and, before our God, a blockhead, a swine's snout, a mare's rear end, and clown of Hades. May the devil take thee!
That is what the Cossacks have to say to thee, thou basest born of runts! Unfit art thou to lord it over true Christians!
The date we know not, for no calender have we got. The moon (month) is in the sky, the year is in a book, and the day is the same with us here as with ye over there - and thou can kiss us thou knowest where![30]

� Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko, and all the Zaporozhian Cossack Brotherhood

The Romans invented electricity but because it was a project of Roman brothels it never gained widespread acceptance and nobody ever examined other possible uses outside of arcing buttplugs until 1824 when Michael Faraday accidentally sat on a spinning top while wearing one and invented the homopolar.

anything after constantine doesn't really count. he nailed the coffin shut, and all that stuff about the eastern empire being a continuation that kept chugging for another thousand years is just european historians wanking themselves off.
