...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...

...Saint Martin. This relic was from the first times of the Middle Ages a very venerated object in Gaul among the Merovingians and then the Carolingians (the city of Tours was the object of an important pilgrimage at that time). The sacred cloak of Saint Martin was preciously preserved, it was a...

Very cool. A quite interesting excerpt. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to have taken the time to read it.

...on education and culture in Francia, a debatable effect on artistic endeavors, and an unmeasurable effect on what mattered most to the Carolingians, the moral regeneration of society.[13] Most are familiar with the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius, which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum overnight...

...and then they recur in 430. Then I think there is a second important block after 536, with the comets and the Justinian plague. The Carolingians made a coup and usurped the power of the Merovingians. This caused a diplomatic crisis with Byzantium. They created the myth of the lazy kings by...

...The article states that the German historian Schmoeckel saw much evidence that the Merovingians and other Frankish nobility, as the Carolingians, are descendants of the Sarmatians. This link is, of course, of the utmost importance to our own bloodline quest. Sarmatic Traces Skull...

...restore the monarchy in France – the chosen monarch being a descendent of the Merovingian line of Frankish kings who were deposed by the Carolingians and who were themselves former court officials to the kings of the Merovingian dynasty. It is said that the Merovingians were the descendants...

...replace the toads. It is important to note that the "fleurs-de-lis" are, according to historians, the symbol of royalty adopted by the Carolingians and that the legend was certainly attributed to Clovis by them at that time. The Carolingian coup d'état and the suppression of the Merovingians...

This is the same Bartholomew who early this year granted independence in Ukraine of the Orthodox Church (causing much upheaval). This Filioque was discussed at some length in Mettan's book Creating Russophobia, yet he did not mention Luther (as he came later). Now this Filioque keeps coming...
