It's hard to "prove" much of anything at all. All we can do is consider evidence. You think there is evidence of an early massive christian city where Fez Morocco now stands?
I know absolutely nothing about morrocan history. But, saying it is unlikely that there was a 50K christian population at some time is meaningless conjecture.
I do. Saw Patton.
I am saying there appears to be no evidence of that. Study up and show me a shred of evidence if you think you can.
I really have no desire to do that. The gentleman in the original video claims that he has "studied history" and came to that conclusion.
Well I guess we should just believe him then!
You can't prove a negative!
It is difficult to prove that a specific event did not occur, especially if it is a rare or unusual event.
The Problem with Proving a Negative
The issue with proving a negative is that it is challenging to demonstrate the absence or non-existence of something. In other words, it is hard to prove that something did not happen or that something does not exist. This is because the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim, and it is difficult to provide conclusive evidence that something is not present or has not occurred.
So why you trying to say there is no evidence it didn't happen! Incredible
Also understood by the phrase, "We don't know what we don't know"
