This one is more likely than any of her errors to get her in trouble. Does she seriously have no idea what a boatload of ancient garbage she's unloaded?

Worst of all is the fact that most of the cultural achievements we associate with ancient Greece were actually begun in fucking Turkey, aka Asia Minor.
Bonus points for most of the classical works of philosophy we have surviving thanks to the efforts of Islamic scholars while soooper civilized Europe was going through the Christianity fueled Dark Ages.
It's rare to see the link between racism and ignorance so glaringly highlighted.
