    “We lost, as a country, we lost respect, decency, civilized behavior, integrity, class, accountability, responsibility,” said Daniels, who stars in Hulu’s upcoming “The Looming Tower,” a dramatization of the events leading up to the Sept. 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks.

    Rome had immigrants throughout its history, and the Eastern Empire was in contact with Islam from almost immediately after its founding to the end of the Empire. You might as well claim Rome fell because of grain or sunlight.

    Lead, they knowingly ate the shit. It was thought that lead was good for you.

    When in ancient Rome, don't drink as the Romans do. High-born Romans sipped beverages cooked in lead vessels and channeled spring water into their homes through lead pipes (pictured). Some historians argue that lead poisoning plagued the Roman elite with diseases such as gout and hastened the empire's fall.
    The ruling elite were retarded from heavy metal deposits on their brain. I have even read that it was common practice to assure that there was lead floaties in your gravies and such. Caligula was thought to have suffered from the same problem.

    From your article:

    While the lead contamination was measureable, the team says the levels were unlikely high enough to be harmful, ruling out tap water as a major culprit in Rome's demise.

    Honestly dude, you can't cook in a lead pot and drink from leadware, especially alcohol, on a daily basis and not have it fuck you up.

    Here's a link from last october, must be credible enough a theory that it's being taken pretty seriously by archaeologists.
