The Phantom Time Conspiracy

Happy Valentines Day 2024 Haunties... or is it Valentines Day 1724? This week, Nat convinces Aly that our current calendar is a fake and history as we know it is a lie. According to the Phantom Time Conspiracy, the years known colloquially as "The Middle Ages" never even happened and we are all currently living in the 1720s. Even more disturbing, some of our most treasured heroes, artifacts, and historical events, are complete fabrications! WHAT? Why would someone want to fake a time period? Babe, you better buckle the f up- IT’S TIME TO GET HAUNTED!

Welcome to hell mfs!

Image 01: Charlemagne, or “Charles The Great”, is often revered as the sole surviving hero of The Middle Ages. According to The Phantom Time Conspiracy, Charlemagne was not actually real, but rather a piece of political propaganda. Image 02: Charlemagne depicted as Catholic unifier of Medieval Europe and Holy Roman Emperor (Left). Charlemagne statue in St. Peter’s Basilica (Right). Image 03: Surviving physical evidence of Charlemagne includes numerous relics consisting of real bones; However, the relics of Charlemagne are few of the only surviving artifacts from The Middle Ages. Could these relics be forged or fakes? Image 04: After Charlemagne’s death in 814, his body was exhumed multiple times to collect relics and further the political motives of his successors. Image 05: The legend states Charlemagne’s corpse was found seated on a throne with scepter in hand and gospels in lap; However, the body was reburied in a Roman inspired sarcophagus (top) and later in a golden coffin (bottom). Image 06-07: In 1991, German historian Heribert Illig claimed in his book that The Middle Ages never happened, the Julian calendar had been faked, and Charlemagne was fabricated as part of a political conspiracy between Pope Gregory and Otto III to claim the Holy Roman Empire. Image 08: Antipope Gregory. Sneaky much? Image 09: Among proof of his theory, Heribert points out that architecture during The Middle Ages barely changed at all. Image 10: Romanesque Revival Architecture refers to architecture that mimicked Roman style. Could this be because The Middle Ages never happened? What do you guys think of this episode?!
