...behind the Christianization of the Gauls. And we have the diffusion of his cult in the territories submitted to the authority of the Carolingians. When one observes the development of Christianity carefully, one has the feeling that there were two parallel but fundamentally different...

...function. But this idea is interesting if we make the link between Saint Martin, patron saint of the Merovingians and then of the Carolingians, i.e. the territories of Northern Gaul which are under the authority of the Franks (Saint Martin is originally from Pannonia, which makes the link...

Book: From Mark to Paul We were working on chapter 1. The Long, Dark Tunnel of Early Christianity where we were discussing the last half of the chapter and were curious about the differences in dating. During the discussion, I referred to a session from September 2021, where the current...

Correction made in the master file and in pdf. I replaced the pdf for chapter 20. Indeed the subchapter about "Controversies about spring equinox and Christmas" was missing. Thanks!

...Remember that Julius Caesar was the first to have a dedicated flamen (plural flamenies) priest. - What part of society did the Carolingians consider to be degenerate? - One of the main battles... - Bavaria was Christianized during the 7th Century at the latest, which predates...

Oh boy, it was a long list of mistakes. It's corrected now in the master file. Thank you! I re-uploaded an updated pdf file as well.

...of the Carolingian Renaissance was a moral regeneration: Regeneration implies degeneration. What is the part of the society did the Carolingians consider as degenerate? Remember that about 460 years added the official chronology? Coincidently or not, this time difference occurs elsewhere...

...for the Roman Empire and monarchs for Europe. At the moment, I have difficulty sorting out for Europe between the Merovingians and the Carolingians. I prefer not to make risky assumptions. For the Roman Empire, it is therefore necessary to put the disorder in order. My hypothesis is the...

When discussing the official chronology: I can think of three stages, and we are at point 2, and 3: 1. Accepting the current timeline of the fall of the Roman Empire and early hundreds of Christianity, as taught in main stream sources. 2. Doubting or rejecting the current timeline. 3. Proposing...

...had further had a look to the country of Andorra (happened to have been there once) as it, at a point, looked to the Visigoths and Carolingians: the legend of Charlemagne. Notice something else that was noted when reading up on Andorra, where some of the churches (some old structures depicted...

...be the subject of a separate post. But I think there is a fascinating avenue to explore. In any case, one has the impression that the Carolingians imported Byzantine Christianity into Europe and that they wanted to impose it by force. They probably did everything possible to suppress the...

...I was not aware of this evidence of anachronisms in Gregory of Tours. It is clear that he wrote this fraud under the orders of the Carolingians. The more I think about this problem, the more obvious it seems to me that the events of the High Middle Ages were inserted before the fall of the...

...a glimmering of just how radically different the world of classical Rome was from that early-medieval successor civilization of the Carolingians. 9th century Europe seems a shivering shadow desperately trying to recapture Rome's glory. I guess we are the successor's of that hope and struggle...

These are all very rational, reasonable, and interesting speculations. I've wondered something similar before, but never quite so developed as you have done here.

...to linear history from the end of Marcus Aurelius to Justinian's destruction. Probably during the middle ages - possibly by the Carolingians. The fact that Constantine's "head" was found in Nis, Serbia makes a strong point to back this. The same thing goes for how his sculpture is...

According to Heribert Illig the time line is too long by 345 ± 64 years which more or less close to the 460 years. Here are two his articles in English (he also has several books about the topic but all of them are in German) I could find: Calendar studies prove that the thesis of the Invented...

...the means of communication of the time? And what if the function of emperor as we conceive it was a retro-projection carried out by the Carolingians in concert with the Byzantines? In any case, it seems that a gigantic purge took place around this period. There are almost no original texts...

As are few texts describing life and missionary work of St. Cyril and Methodius. Are there any mention of them in Western records of that time? From perspective of Slavic people at the time, this St. Martin resembles St. Cyril.

...city of Tours was a sacred place in Gaul at that time. And above all, why he became the patron saint of the Merovingians and then of the Carolingians, ahead of all the other saints. Contrary to what is sometimes said, the cult of Saint Martin did spread from Gaul to Italy and other countries...
