Was Our Timeline CHANGED 1000 Years Ago? Historians BAFFLED - The Phantom Time Hypothesis

#phantomtime #phantomtimehypothesis #herbertillig

The idea of Phantom time is a controversial idea that proposes that historians have made a mistake in their understanding of Western history. A German historian, Heribert Illig, proposed this theory in 1991 to explain why historical documents seem to show that the years 614 to 911 CE never existed.
Doubting is not a bad thing, however, it is not always a good thing either. What needs to happen is to think logically and ask the right questions. When the right things are asked in regards to the unexplainable, the answers may make it all sensible.

The Phantom Time Hypothesis is a historic Theory originally brought by Herbert Illig. Illig believed that there was a plan that was decided to implement that would alter time, specifically, to fabricate the Anno Domini dating system retroactively. He believed that this was introduced by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto the third, Pope Sylvester the second and possibly including Byzantine Emperor Constantine the seventh. He believed that by them doing so, it would place them at AD 1000. This would allow history to change, which would then legitimize Otto’s claim to the Holy Roman Empire.
Herbert Illig believed this was done by misrepresenting, altering as well as forging any physical or documentary evidence. According to Illig’s Theory, the entire Caroling period, including that of the figure of Charlemagne, was fabricated, and that they had added 297 years to the Early Middle Ages. Illig is the only person in history to support his theory.
Although his Theory gained widespread media coverage, especially in Germany, there was not a single historian that could understand Illig’s theory. It was passed on as flawed fundamentally by everyone who took the time to read and consider this Theory.
Some of Illig’s theories pertaining to this Theory included the following:

1.) The scarcity of any historical evidence from the time of AD 614 through 911. His reasoning included the inadequacies of radiometric and dendrochronological methods. He also argued that medieval historians relied too much on written evidence.
2.) He brought forth the fact that there was Romanesque architecture in Western Europe in the 10th Century. To Illig, this meant that the Roman Era was not as long as stated.
3.) The Julian calendar was reported to have an inaccuracy around the tropical year, of at least one day for each century that the calendar was in use for. When the Gregorian calendar came to be in AD 1582, the Julian calendar there should have been 13 days difference, which there was not. The Mathematicians and astronomers who worked for Pope Gregory XIII found there was only an issue of ten days. On the Julian Calendar of June 4th, 1582, which was a Thursday and then followed by the first day of the Gregorian Calendar 15 October, 1582 which was a Friday. By figuring this out, Illig determined that there were about three centuries that never existed.

Astronomically speaking, there are recorded dates for lunar eclipses, solar eclipses throughout history. By following these dates, it is unlikely that Illig’s Theory is legitimate. European sources have documented solar eclipses since before 600 AD.

Changed only 180 years ago after great mud flood. Rewrote history just for the alites.

[anissah]

Yes it was changed. You can't confuse us with time when we watch the stars - that they can't take away.

[chuckwhite]

They bumped the Calendar forward. I’m a believer.

[iSupplanter]

Pompeii is a key. See what doors you can open with it.

[stevelindsay]

HE WASN'T ENTIRLY WRONG. WE'VE ALL BEEN DECEIVED. OUR TIME LINE IS WAY OFF.

[gahtanoov]

We as Muslims document our history very carefully and given the extra 11 days difference in greogorian calendar in 2023 we are in 1444 in which the greogorian calendar is off by several months due to many adjustments done by the Roman's.

You can’t prove a point buy arguing against another’s theory. This video proves nothing, and there is more work to do to find the truth. Fomenko is on to something, and we shouldn’t be lazy and just blow it off.

[ClearLight]

This is one of the most poorly argued treatments I have ever heard. Just because dates may be off, doesn't mean CharlaMANE or Islam or the Byzantines didn't exist, for example. It just means the dates are wrong. You've made mince meat of your own position and that of your opponent.

[EIbereth]

Every Science is kept hostage, History is messed up, and as a Historian and researcher I do support Fomenko's theory, just read or at least take a look of "History: Fiction or Science? ".

[anthonybonifer]

My grandfather's name is Sylvester...yes, this is true.😊

[chrisstetsko]

Is this Kevin Conroy narrating? I can almost imagine in my mind the cartoon Batman telling this story.

[shauncampbell]

Does this have, anything to do with Tartaria?

[bobbygrisham]

Fixing the day of Easter within a calendar year, does not correct the days lost over the calendars 370 year existence. And as far as "circumstantial evidence", that's all there is in support of our current timeline.

[suchen]

lol the evidences is:
1 = 1
I = i
and
J = j

[bobbygrisham]

Great job of totally re-creating the argument into garbage. Why not simply quote the man's claims? Why do all of you "geniuses" paraphrase with strawmen?

[SMILYHIPPO]

Muslims kept an accurate account of Lunar calendar starting from 622 AD till now i.e 1445 as 2023. All one has to do is to compare. Besides Chinese kept their own calendar.

All cathedrals and magnificent buildings were built under the 1000 years Christ reign, you know why wherever you are you heard BC and anno domini in your history class, cause Christ reigned when he came back,
