Phantom Time hypothesis



The Phantom Time Hypothesis is an observational explanation, first proposed by German theorist Heribert Illig, which proposes that the recorded history of the Early Middle Ages (AD 614-911), and in particularly the Carolingian Period, is a falsehood that was orchestrated in part by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III (980-1002) and Pope Sylvester II [Gerbert d'Aurillac] (946-1003), and that the era described in conventional histories did not take place.
