In the video below by Alltime Conspiracies they run across a conspiracy that is often missed when hunting conspiracy theories, and that is German Historian Heribert Illig’s Phantom Time Hypothesis, where he believes that we are really living in 1700s, because the calendar we use today is supposed to be a correction of the Julian Calenda,r but which actually “lost” time in the changeover.
This means that historical accounts of the Dark Ages are fake or fictional according to Illig’s theory and was created by the Roman Emperors.
Illig is not the only historian to think this theory is plausible either, as Dr. Hans-Ulrich Niemitz offered a research paper in 1995, revised in 2003, which offers three points, which include 1) Hundreds of years ago, our calendar was polluted with 297 years which never occurred; 2) this is not the year 2005, but rather 1708; and 3) The purveyors of this hypothesis are not crackpots. (Source)
The Phantom Time Hypothesis suggests that the early Middle Ages (614-911 A.D.) never happened, but were added to the calendar long ago either by accident, by misinterpretation of documents, or by deliberate falsification by calendar conspirators. This would mean that all artifacts ascribed to those three centuries belong to other periods, and that all events thought to have occurred during that same period occurred at other times, or are outright fabrications. For instance, a man named Heribert Illig (pictured), one of the leading proponents of the theory, believes that Charlemagne was a fictional character. But what evidence is this outlandish theory based upon?
It seems that historians are plagued by a plethora of falsified documents from the Middle Ages, and such was the subject of an archaeological conference in München, Germany in 1986. In his lecture there, Horst Fuhrmann, president of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, described how some documents forged by the Roman Catholic Church during the Middle Ages were created hundreds of years before their “great moments” arrived, after which they were embraced by medieval society. This implied that whomever produced the forgeries must have very skillfully anticipated the future… or there was some discrepancy in calculating dates.

So…… are we really living in the 18th century?
