Map found in Constantinople. Also, from "Damned Interesting," link:
In 1582, the Gregorian calendar we still use today was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII to replace the outdated Julian calendar which had been implemented in 45 BC. The Gregorian calendar was designed to correct for a ten-day discrepancy caused by the fact that the Julian year was 10.8 minutes too long. But by Heribert Illig's math, the 1,627 years which had passed since the Julian calendar started should have accrued a thirteen-day discrepancy... a ten-day error would have only taken 1,257 years.
So Illig and his group went hunting for other gaps in history, and found a few... for example, a gap of building in Constantinople (558 AD - 908 AD) and a gap in the doctrine of faith, especially the gap in the evolution of theory and meaning of purgatory (600 AD until ca. 1100). From all of this data, they have become convinced that at some time, the calendar year was increased by 297 years without the corresponding passage of time.
In, 1582, when Pope Gregory XVII, introduced the Gregorian calendar, dropping the Julian calendar, because the Gregorian calendar was thought to be a more accurate "solar" calendar detailing the earth's rotation around the sun (precession?), so many days would be "lost," over time.
Time:
Luckily the detected difference is somewhere around .0001% so I don't think we'll be rewriting history even if their observation is confirmed.
So the the Earth is "around" 4,500,000,000 years old and the difference is "around" .0001%? 0.00013% of 4,500,000,000 years is 6000 years! That can't be a coincidence! Earth is 6000 years old!

Ah, the new thread... I will process (meaning I will look at the posted video/articles after work) but wanted to stick my digital foot in the simulated door.
One thing that jumped outta my own head (or programmed simulacra) is the epiphany Phil Dick, the sci-fi author, had... that we were living a "fake history" and that the Roman Empire never ended ... he called our present "overlay" reality the Black Iron Prison and went all Gnostic Christian and thought a true reality was attempting to break through and reach us trapped humans ... a hack meant to bring the prison program down and return us to a real, free state.
The fact he had a brain tumor either explains it... or it doesn't... but I have sure felt the same way about a possible non real reality... and I never had an abduction experience (that I remember) to engender that feeling... just a niggling almost memory that something isn't as it should be. I usually ascribe it to human stupidity... but some of the weirdness doesn't seem tied to humans.. .so...?

a reply to: tetra50 I Hope all is good in your life...your word choices are readable 2 ways. I found a kitten not long ago, all by itself, with no trace of any other cat around. I took it home, and take really good care of it. I watch the little furball grow and expand its experience of the small world around it and interestingly enough, amazed at this creature's seeming automatic natural abilities. it knows nothing of the real world beyond my country road. If Bailey (kitten's name) was exposed to aircraft or a level of tech, its real understanding would be very limited....same with us humans toe to toe with an advanced being. Our limits are many, we know but a small amount about our world and beyond, our history and our reason for existence is almost zero understanding. As much as I dislike the song by Kansas..dust in the wind, it basically could be all there is to it, but I think there is more...much more, and I am not talking religion. I cant quite explain this in a comprehensive way, but there is more to the human story than we are led to believe...If all of this is scripted....fire the writer!!!

This is the thing, per my knowlege of existence in this life…..there is certain technology out there today which makes it impossible to know what is "real," and thereby, changes the face of what reality is altogether

For instance, I once knew a military man who explained to me that everything since Charlemaigne was predicated: planned, scripted, written out and played like a movie script.
The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12 foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control. The truth is more frightening, nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.
Yes, there is a conspiracy, in fact there are a great number of conspiracies that are all tripping each other up. And all of those conspiracies are run by paranoid fantasists and ham-fisted clowns.

Yes, the man was a four star general.
As far as your Alan Moore quote, I have to say that anyone familiar with my usual p.o.v. or thread writing would agree there is absolutely nothing comforting about any of my theories.
