Colin's Last Stand, Episode 48: The Phantom Time Hypothesis (Patreon)

The Phantom Time Hypothesis: Are We Living in 2017 or 1720? -- Colin’s Last Stand (Episode 48)

The Phantom Time Hypothesis suggests that 297 years -- 614 CE to 911 CE -- never actually happened. It's the brainchild of a couple of German historians, and suggests a conspiracy between the Catholic Church and some major imperial forces, a conspiracy only revealed centuries later when the western world began transitioning from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar.
