Start with that. Show a definitive connection between Rome and the US that is not shared by any other nation/empire. I'd also suggest you look through the threads started by Dutch on his hyper-dimensional design thing. This is very similar.

The 2147 year period derives from astronomy and is at the foundation of this method. I think the connection between Rome and the US is reasonably strong as the leading western powers of their age. The extent of borrowing from Rome in the US is considerable, eg the Capitol & Senate, military role as 'world policeman', e pluribus unum, as a start. I read pages 1&2 of
Guy 'predicting the future' using "Hyperdimensional Design" (a 39 page thread - those were the days) and fully agree with the critiques of the meaningless unscientific concept of 'hyperdimensionality'. No redux here.
