As of this writing, the year is 2020. But what if the year was ACTUALLY 1722? What if hundreds of years ago there was a conspiracy by a few European noblemen to change the modern calendar? This may sound crazy, (and, admittedly, it is a little crazy), but is it possible? Stranger things have happened. It all has to do with the Holy Roman Empire, the Pope, and (maybe) the Byzantine Empire circa AD 1000 (that’s important for later). There's this weird theory called Phantom Time Hypothesis suggests that Dark Ages (614-911 A.D.) never happened...
The Phantom Time Hypothesis was first postulated by the German historian and author Heribert Illig in 1991, where he states that this originated as a conspiracy between Holy Roman Emperor Otto III and Pope Sylvester II...
The strong roots of Christianity in Europe, combined with a vain desire to appear anointed by God himself, drove these two men (Otto III and Sylvester II) to fabricate the nearly three-hundred years from AD 614 – 911 in order to make it appear that they were actually ruling in the year 1000. Why, you ask? Because God would only let his chosen people rule in the thousandth year of his calendar, obviously. Makes sense to me...
Indeed, part of Illig's claim is that the entire existence of Emperor Charlemagne, one of Europe’s most significant rulers during the middle ages, never existed at all. He believes that Charlemagne's practically magical ability to rule and unify his empire was indeed possible only by virtue of the fact that it was fictional. Illig is saying that Charlemagne, like the English King Arthur, was a folk hero designed by Otto III and Sylvester II to help fill in the gaps in the phantom time they "created".

A usage I've always used and known, good to get that finally corrected!
I learned something today, it was worth getting out of bed, thanks!
Nice! I’d never heard that one!
:^) Of course, RC dating actually debunks the conventional pseudochronology, which is why Zahi “Zowie” Hawass ridiculously and notoriously claims that radiocarbon dating doesn’t work — just in Egypt.
Yep
An NFT of famous buildings that were never constructed is going to be worth zillions!!
The establishment has adopted UFO chasing, and at least since Slick was prez.
That too was my initial reaction. On a completely different level, documentation from this era is scant. Lacking hard evidence any number of hypothesis are tenable. Were the great unwashed masses living naked and afraid? They could be again if matters continue as they are.
My take on that is, there was a Mohammed, and he was a ruthless killer, ethnic supremacist, wifebeating sexist, and pedophile, but that his story has been cleaned up and aggrandized — because if that’s the stuff they’ll still tell us about, just what kind of next-level ass**** was he?
A spinoff of Roman PIso Theory that had a brief existence over on the Delphi Forums was that the Roman Empire itself was faked == yes, I know, what about the roads, arenas, Hadrian's Wall == during the Middle Ages of course, and that the fake was done to create a supporting myth for the (trade) empire of the Venetians. Weird coincidence that the Venetians were mostly the adversaries of muzzies in the Seven Seas.
Whoops. Forgot about ‘em, I don’t drink coffee.
Still, would make a good movie idea. Maybe the same jokers who did the ludicrous "300" or "Anonymous" movies.
A few days early, but this is the week's Digest topic, or rather, it's an extra one in case something else comes up. :^)
You ain’t seen nothing yet. The great reset demons will unleash a new chronological time tracking system (calendar)to eradicate the last vestige of God’s word. Before the flood, before men & women, he created 7 days. (I am a Catholic geologist so I don’t believe the literal creation account, but its theological implication). (The year and day are astronomically hard to mess with and the lunar months shift, but the 7 day week is arbitrary).
The week might change to perhaps a 6 day or 8 day weeks, based on bogus “cultural work efficiency vs. human well-being and leisure” studies. Work 4 and be off 2 or something.And lessen global warming, of course. Weeks might be renamed, just think of every week per year named after a leftist/global concept; days will be named after historical murderers or new age principles like “Earth Day, Love Day, Harmony Day” and other new-speak international propaganda. 60 weeks of 6-day weeks leaves 5 “free days” which they will probably allocate to the current demonic celebrity or obscure historical figure. And every 4 years there could be a special 6 day Gaia or Islam festival.
I believe this is where they are going, and the Mark of the Beast might have to do with coordinating every aspect of our lives based on the new calendar. Have the old time keeping schedule and you’ll be imprisoned.
Better tell the Hebrew and the Chinese ...
The churck at Nördlingen, Germany is built entirely of local stone that was produced by the Ries Basin asteroid impact 15 million years ago. The town itself began no later than the 9th century, but the church is 15 million years ago. Somethin’ fishy... /j
I tried, but their websites claim my system clock doesn’t match the servers’...
Stupid beyond belief.
We have archeology and even documents to show that the ‘Dark Ages’ happened.
