Rotten from the root
Do you have this expression in English?
I have translted from my native language. When we say that something is rotten from the root, we mean that it's built up on lies and false beliefs.
Thanks very much for answering me

Hi, The only 'rotten' expression I can think of is ' rotten to the core' , meaning 'completely rotten'. If ' something is a house of sand ', it means figuratively that it is not built on a good foundation. Clive
