Pekah had allied with Rezin, king of the Arameans against Ahaz (known to the Assyrians as Yahu-khazi), of the Kingdom of Judah, who responded by appealing for the Assyrian monarch's help with the Temple gold and silver. Tiglath-Pileser answered swiftly

Dude, I'm not saying Romans didn't contribute but you seriously need to study how heavily Greek culture and ideas influenced the Romans.

In pandemic terms the Greeks were the virus while the Romans were the speader.

I'm well aware of the influence of the greeks on the Romans. But what you don't seem to get is that the influence was bidirectional, and the Greeks became Romans WAY more than Romans became Greeks. To the point that it took hundreds of years after the sack of Rome for the Greeks to stop using Latin in administrative and academic functions. They considered themselves Romans to the point that the Great Schism between Orthodox and Catholic Christians was primarily a function of who was more Roman according to the ancient texts.

So yeah, the Greeks influenced the Romans. But the Roman identity literally became the basis of Greek society for thousands of years. Remember that the "Byzantine Empire" was a modern invention, they considered themselves to be Rome as founded by Romulus and Remus.

The dude lost his throne... TWICE, and got it back, TWICE before finally meeting his end.

Yeah I went deep on dudes history a while back. What a badass story especially given the political climate in Wallachia at the time. It was like something out of a GoT storyline.

Their giant cathedral is still in use in Istanbul

Actually, the original point was that they weren't first. You're the only one trying to argue degrees of destruction of iron age societies.

What's so hard to understand
The Romans were the most destructive

Also the first ones that conquered Jerusalem from the jews (Romans, Byzantines)

Dude, the Roman aristocracy sent their kids off to Greece to study Greek philosophy, art and architecture. Any Roman scholar, politician, philosopher, or nobleman who was worth a damn studied Greek culture. Romans knew that Greek ideas were superior.

Yeah sure over time the Roman culture took over but thats only after it integrated Greek ideas into it.

The Romans were the original culture vultures.

The fact remains that western civilization descends FIRST AND FOREMOST thru the ancient Greeks.
