Hmmm…what about the theory of the extra 300 years added to the history time line?
Dr Mark Faulkner said: “About three million words of Old English survive in total, but the vast majority of texts come from the tenth and eleventh centuries. Caedmon’s Hymn is almost unique as a survival from the seventh century – it connects us to the earliest stages of written English. As the oldest known poem in Old English it is today celebrated as the beginning of English literature.

~800 Years added on to history?
Yes this article’s timeline jogged my memory of the extra 300 years thread. Seems messing with timelines is an age old practice and not at all far fetched. After all recollection of long ago events without documentation opens the door to artist license and other purposes. Thomas Paine’s “Age of Reason” analysis of Biblical events points out how curious timelines are forwarded through time and accepted.
