something i want to talk about is our historical timeline. world history is based off of European history. European history is based off the history of ancient Greece and rome. our history was written by one man in the 1600s, at this time we were using the bible as a credible source, meaning certain events and people (great fire of rome, Nero, rome vs Judea, the exodus, ect) were dated using the bible or biblical timeline as a reference point. this was done with the old testament as well as the new testament.
so essentially biblical history and real world history are tied together at the hip. they reinforce each other.
in the middle ages the entity that ruled Europe was the roman catholic church. the papacy ran the show. did you know that the popes created European nobility. its called The divine right to rule.
when a new king was crowned, or a nation went thru "Christianization" they had to travel to rome or Constantinople to get approved. From there he had to remain a catholic nation or convert. allow monasteries and cathedrals to be built. They also had to pay the papacy a "tribute" and make there people partake in the pilgrimage.
if they did that, they were giving the divine right to rule from the pope. who is the head of there religion. See the Vatican had a interesting system. the pope had all the power, more power then any king. BUT he wasn't allowed to pass the title on, nor any assesets. rich Italian noble families chose the pope from amongst themselves. they would essentially take turns at the reigns. the money stayed with the church, no one person.
think of em like the worlds first corporation. The CEO or pope has power in while in charge but he really answers to the board (people who voted him in). The product they sold was basically culture with a built in religion.
they would establish a social hiarcy, and turn the feudal tribes into a nation with one king appointed but there religious god. once a nation was signed up the papacy would start establishing educational institutes thru the monasteries. If you wanted an actual education you had to go thru the church, then get accepted in an order. if not you were a illiterate peasant or a meat shield on the battle field.
the only people who could read or write learnt from the papacy.
So the problem related to history, see the papacy is NOTORIOUS for forgery. Whenever a argument need to be resolved, the chruch had a rule similar to caselaw. they would go thru records for decision making. the older the document the better. This would cause a huge problem where corrupt popes continually forged older and older documents to get the papal bulls passed, potentially artificially extending the churches timeline. this would have bleed into our historical timeline because the two are so intertwined.
do you know what else is intertwined with catholic history? Islam and Judaisms history. The only reason Israel is a thing, is because of the Roman Catholic Chruch. Mohammad claimed decent from Abraham, a biblical patriarch.
There are many independent alt historians coming to the same conclusion. We have a massive chunk of Europe history that is all mirrored events. meaning purposefully or by accident, we have several hundreds of years worth of fake history shoe horned into our actual timeline.
This new alternative timeline that is manifesting itself is quite radical. all the years of history between 100ad all the way to the mid 1400s needs to be scraped. Rome never fell, ancient Greece was in the middle ages and lead right into the renaissance. the fall of rome, the hun invasion, the dark ages, the viking age, the first 3 crusades, the first black plague, the early spread of Islam, the majority of Egyptian history, all never happened.
The decedents of the Khans seem to have started Islam in the 1300s when they migrated south out of Grand Tartary into the different "stan" countries and the middle east, asia durring the on set of the little ice age. they were the first to cover there woman and did whole nation conversions to islam at this time.
the religious aspect of this has got my attention, cus if history is fake then so is the history of our religions.
IMO Jews have no credible history. during the years 100ad-900ad there were around 5-10k jews anywhere in the whole world? and all of a sudden 900ad, some Mongolian nation converts all 100 000 people to Judaism creating the Ashkenazi which then make up 80-95% of all jews. It doesn't make sense, i don't buy there biblical historical claims of a dispersal across Europe and i don't really buy this random khazar conversion in 900adish. I think they all came from the same place and it wasn't the middle east. Maybe little Tartary. im basing this off yiddish (german hebrew) and the shear amount of German Russian jews.
the timeline aint right, did you also know that the tulmud was complied in 12th century, the kabbla 13th century.
the relation between Catholicism and jews is weird also. They need eachother. you could not have one without the other. some people think that jews created Catholicism.. i think it may be the other way around.
i think they were gifted a position within the roman hierarchy
the papacy has held more influence and power then jews all throughout history. jews actually worked for the church. they were moved into christen nations in segregated communities for the sole purpose of money lending. Catholicism outlawed money lending, everyone had to be catholic and no catholic could lend money at interest. the papacy moved jews in to fill this void. but to even function JEWS had to PAY the POPE
Jews worked for the church.. mhm
anyway im just ranting at this point. thoughts?
pretty interesting. i would humbly suggest taking a look at the work/writings of Immanuel Velikovsky regarding global catastrophes. he notes a bunch of good, solid geological anomalies that are most likely the result of global/very large regional "catastrophes"/events. some of what Velikovsky presents might provide clues to interpreting/re-interpreting the Abrahamic faiths and figuring out what we're not being told.
what alt-historians do you recommend? big fan of Robert Sepehir, m'self (though there's admittedly some family jewish connections that might be influencing RS' interpretations of history)
I would highly recommend A T Fomenko and Tristan Sylvain. Fomenko has something like 22 books out now about dating issues. wild stuff but makes a lot of sense in the end. also thanks for the suggestion, will check him out
these are great, thanks!!! lol, TFW a whole new set of youtube search terms maxxes out 4kVideoDownloader
