The tone of the "conspiracy theory" section is dismissive and judgemental from the writers viewpoint and not objective. If you personally disagree with a theory this is irrelevant to describing it. It's like saying I don't think God exists so that is what shall be written on Wikipedia. Instead of describing why people believe God exists. Try to be objective. I removed the dismissive elements from the post and added extra info about the justification for this theory including the photo evidence froth the 1800's.

The theory about Great Tartaria first appeared in Russia, popularized by Nikolai Levashov, and in Anatoly Fomenko’s New chronology. In Russian, known for its nationalism, Tartaria is presented as the "real" name for Russia, which was maliciously "ignored" in the West. Since about 2016, conspiracy theories about the supposed lost empire of "Tartaria" have gained popularity on the English-speaking part of the Internet.

The conspiracy is based on an alternative view of architectural history. Adherents suppose that demolished buildings such as the Singer Building, Penn Station, or the temporary grounds of the 1915's World's Fair were actually the buildings of a vast empire based in Tartary that has been suppressed from history. Sumptuously styled Gilded Age buildings are often held out as really having been built by the supposed Tartaria. Other buildings, such as the Great Pyramids and the White House are further held out as Tartarian buildings. The conspiracy only vaguely describes how such a supposedly advanced civilization which had reputedly achieved world peace could have fallen and been hidden. The idea that a "mud flood" wiped out much of the world and thus old buildings is common, supported by the fact that many buildings across the world have architectural elements like doors, windows and archways submerged many feet below "ground level" for no apparent reason. World War I & II are cited as a way in which Tartaria was destroyed and hidden, reflecting the reality that the extensive bombing campaigns of World War II did destroy many historic buildings.

The general evidence for the theory is that there are similar styles of building around the world, such as capital buildings with domes, or star forts. Also many photographs from the turn of the 20th century appear to show deserted city streets in many capital cities across the world. When people do start to appear in the photographs there is an striking contrast between the low-tech horse & cart dwellers in the muddy streets and the elaborate, highly ornate stone mega-structures which tower above the inhabitants of the cities.
