~800 Years added on to history?

I’ve not much to say on this other than a hypothesis from the researcher involved: Gunnar Heinsohn claims that the Latin/Italian Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire were not separate empires that proceeded after one another, but rather the same empire existing at the same time. According to him, it was all essentially German. Also stating that the double-headed eagle symbolised this unified empire, one head watching over the west and the other the east.
Has anyone heard of this theory before? Is it fact?

Edwin Johnson wrote books on the topic
Johnson “undertakes to abolish all English history before the end of the fifteenth century.”
Johnson contends that before the “age of publication” and the “revival of letters” there are no reliable registers and logs, and there is a lack of records and documents with verifiable dates.

Fomenko is beloved in Russia - widely believed to be more correct than incorrect there I am told.

there’s a good bunch of this.
i think the argument that we made up the timeline, wrongly, and have stuck to it
plus the printing press/control of research and writing as the ‘when that took place’
is a real fun rabbit hole.

Couldn’t this silliness be nipped in the bud with carbon dating between Roman, Byzantine, Holy Roman and Middle Age artifacts?

carbon dating is like gene sequencing - you send your artifact and the official experts render their judgement from on high. [see also forbidden archeology]
hardcore doubters have zero issues mistrusting that process.

Surely like in cases of analysing alien implants, you could find a third party laboratory to take the sample to yourself and verify? Not everyone is bought or part of THE SYSTEM.

maybe. but perhaps you don’t credit the levels of doubt that exist on this sort of project -
[see here] (Who's The Daddy? - by Jamie Andrews) - dna not carbon but same idea.

i agree with you that there OUGHT to be some fairly basic ways to test the hypothesis but like with flat earthers - the defenders of a wild idea often seem to go to great lengths to poo-poo the standards the normies would like to test them by (pictures from nasa? hehehe)

Did the Catholic church fabricate 300 years of history? No, but some people truly believe the conspiracy theory.

The phantom time hypothesis goes something like this: The Holy Roman Emperor Otto III conspired with Pope Sylvester II (and quite possibly the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII as well) to doctor the dating system. The trio cooked the books to place their reigns at A.D. 1000, which they did because it is an auspicious number.

The three men added 297 years of bogus history to the early medieval period to facilitate this deception. That would mean everything that happened between A.D. 614-911 was a fabrication — no Charlemagne, no Muslim conquest of Spain and no Viking raids on England. Illig maintains that the three rulers tinkered with documents at the time, made up historical events (such as Charlemagne), planted fake evidence to be dug up centuries later, and commanded their underlings to back them up. The evidence, cited by Illig, is a lack of original historical documents from the time period – also known as the Dark Ages in Europe — and alleged discrepancies between the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
