The Phantom Time Hypothesis – Are We Really in the Year 2025?

[CharlieH]

 

 

This theory, proposed by historian Heribert Illig, suggests that around 300 years of history (between 614 and 911 AD) were fabricated, meaning we might actually be living in the 18th century rather than the 21st.

According to this idea, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, Pope Sylvester II, and the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII conspired to rewrite history to legitimise Otto’s rule. Supporters claim that historical inconsistencies, missing archaeological evidence, and anomalies in the Gregorian calendar support this idea.

Could it be true, or is it just a misunderstanding of mediaeval records?

The historian John Hamer explains this in his book too; 'The falsification of history.'

 

So much of what we are told happened, did not in fact happen at all.

 

Great topic for debate.
