I’ve often reviewed such things.
It boggles my mind that someone as bright as you
could even fantasize that such earlier conjectures were in remotely the same ballpark.

Let's compare it --
Take the first period when Jerusalem fell. Compare it to Revelations
Take the period with the rise of Islam and the creation of the Khazar Empire -- the Khazar Empire centered in what is now Ukraine converted to Judaism, forming a second Jewish Empire and Samkarsh / Tmutarakan was said to have had a Jewish majority as early as the 670s. These were joined by other Jews fleeing from Sassanid Persia (particularly during the Mazdak revolts),and, later, the Islamic world. Jewish merchants such as the Radhanites regularly traded in Khazar territory, and may have wielded significant economic and political influence.
