What Really Happened In The Past?
It is a broad, but fascinating topic for our round table this time. In this hectic time of change, with major new conspiracies regularly being unearthed, we should be reminded of, and appreciate, those who tried to preserve an accurate telling of past events in the face of cover-ups, white-washes, propaganda and blatant ignorance.
Many things in history did not happen as we are told in state education and main stream sources. What example do you have? Which topic do you find most intriguing?
Thanks to everyone who made a suggestion and voted and to u/Gottmituns for the winning suggestion.
I'm starting to think everything before about 500 years ago is completely fabricated/heavily altered.
200-500 years ago is where I'm struggling. Seems like something really big happened, and uncovering this "thing" would explain a TON about what's going on today.
I'll admit I rolled my eyes a bit when mud flood/tartaria content started to explode on /r/con about 5 or so years ago. Now I'm listening.
500? Rookie numbers, gotta pump those down. I'd give it 130-150 years. Maybe even 250. At most 400. They lie about what is happening today and people believe the lies, it must have been so much easier with only a few newspapers and radio programs, or before when most weren't literate.
Phantom Time theory is proven with celestial eclipses. /r/cultrallayer is on the right track. The Roman Catholic Church controlled all reading and writing in Europe. They rewrote history from 1670-1710ish. The middle ages never happened, they added 1000 years. None of that 1000 years of history they added makes sense, or even adds up to 1000 years of history. Pompeii exploded in 1631. The Roman empire never fell, it changed its name. Wall Street stock exchange looks exactly like a Roman building in the front with the triangle on top of columns. The Bull symbology is all over the place. The statue of liberty is actually Apollo. It is also man in drag.
The supposed history of Columbus, Britain, and America doesn't make any sense. Supposedly the first permanent settle of the English at Jamestown happened over 100 years after land across the Atlantic was discovered. I've never believed that an island nation with a huge navy didn't start colonies, or the the first one was abandoned.
There is also the Worlds Fair theories, that the buildings already existed. That was a civilization in America before. There were stone buildings of Roman designs all across America. They claim most of the buildings were temporary, but they were so grand and elaborate for something temporary out of cheap materials.
I think there was a power change in the late 1800s. After the American civil war, a group discovered or took over something. There were train cars of redheaded children all across north america. Technology exploded so quickly in so many areas. Look at the navy ships during WW1. Somehow so many countries developed completely different looking and advanced ships in the 1900 decade, compare them ironclads or the first submarines.
Even the American Civil war is suspicious. As is the War of 1812, supposedly a tornado hit Washington DC and changed the war.
Just think about the Cold War. Supposedly the Soviets stopped trying to put a man on the moon despite being ahead most of the space race. During Pearl Harbor the American air craft carriers were out at sea. But also none of the Japanese planes targeted the massive fuel reserves at the navy base. I don't think any war in the past 100 years was unplanned by TPTB before hand.
If you really want to dive deep into Phantom Time and alternative history, look into The Greenland Theory. It combines phantom time with other theories, and explains a lot about Roman symbolism we have today, and the Greco-Roman-Egyptian-Babylonian power dynamic.
Have you ever done genealogical research? Not ancestry dot com bull, but actual paper trail? Because your comment makes me wonder if you think that tons of random people for random reasons just made up dozens of names to write in their family bibles and such? This doesn't make sense when put against plain evidence... if we were talking about something going down in the 600-800's then maybe, but a few hundred years ago has written ephemera made by normal people.
I'm not who you replied to but I just googled the phantom time theory. The original claim is that it only spans 297 years(AD 614-911). I believe this is earlier than all of the genealogical records you're talking about.
I want to mention that I know nothing about this theory or these claims. I just learned about them in this thread so I am by no means knowledgeable on it.
There are absolutely genealogical records of that time period, particularly from the Byzantine Empire
There obviously are records of most European nobility, and of course China has records... but the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire would be the source for voluminous ones of more than just royal lineages. Romans loved recording minutia and it would be rather inconceivable to fabricate that quantity of recorded history.
The concept of "phantom time" comes from not understanding the "dark ages" in Western Europe. There was still the rest of the world going on and the monastic culture was still traveling to and from and communicating with Greece and Byzantium. Maybe we are off a few months to a year or two, not more.
