Always feel sorry for poor 9C, stuck between long 8th+10thC :( MT “@Pseudo_Isidore: The Long 10th Century, just out! pic.twitter.com/KGMrgWtE2U”
Not much left of the poor short 9thC, what w/ "long 8thC" ending c.830 and "long 10thC" starting in c.890 or whenever... ;) @Pseudo_Isidore
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore The Phantom Time Hypothesis would have it that the 9th century was so "short" because it didn't exist...
@ClassAssocNI @Pseudo_Isidore Lol! Is that the Russian hypothesis that sees medieval history as a tissue of lies?
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore A German historian's idea that Otto III had historians create the years 614-911...
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_time_hypothesis …
@ClassAssocNI @Pseudo_Isidore Ah! I was thinking of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Fomenko) …, but that sounds similarly daft ;)
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore Seems there is notoriety to be gained by denying that large sections of history did not happen...
@ClassAssocNI @Pseudo_Isidore Yes, curious isn't it? Indeed, seem to recall Russian theory actually planned to be taught in some schools!
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore My first reaction to PTH was that it was an historian looking to drum up interest in the Dark Ages. Cynical?
@ClassAssocNI @Pseudo_Isidore Hah! Those dastardly medievalists! ;)
@caitlinrgreen Few things get historians involved more than stating that accepted facts are nonsense. Why not use that to help your field?
