But think of that amount of time. That’s 1,000 x 49,000!

Imagine the length of time from today back to around 1000 AD.

Then multiply that by 49,000!

Europe in 1000 AD:

In continental Europe, the Holy Roman Empire established itself as the most powerful state.

Otto III made a pilgrimage from Rome to Aachen and Gniezno (Gnesen), stopping at Regensburg, Meissen, Magdeburg, and Gniezno.

The Congress of Gniezno (with Boleslaw I Chrobry) was part of his pilgrimage.

In Rome, he built the basilica of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, to host the relics of St. Bartholomew.”
