»On Emperors order, the Pope will purge the centuries«  Leo of Vercelli 998 to Gregory V.

- If the CE-date calculated traditionally for a solar eclipse record were correct, a deviating coverage (or the location) reported must necessarily be inaccurate. A specified location on Earth will see totality or annularity typically only once within 140 years. For an accidental match within a span of 295-305 years after the traditional date, the chance will be 1 : 14.

- 300 years minus 46 days after the correctly calculated date another eclipse may occur. If it shows the coverage mentioned in the report, this could only happen by sheer coincidence.

- Otherwise, if the coverage and location of a solar eclipse were reported accurately, then the retro-calculated CE-date cannot be correct, when astronomical computations yield a significantly deviating coverage value. 

- Besides: If the CE-dates were determined correctly, this would imply that most eye-witness reports of total solar eclipses did not survive until our times. Unlikely that these awesome events were not recorded. Unlikely that just those records were lost – in contrast to many 'obviously incorrect' reports on explicitly total eclipses, where, accidentally, the totality zone overlapped with the real path of a total solar eclipse 300 years later!

- The probability for more than 40 such events is close to zero.

Traditional chronology and astronomical retro-calculation stand in conflict: They mutually exclude each other!

The incorruptible jewish year-count

Today we live in the year 5771 of the Jewish World Era. This is equivalent to our year 2011 CE. The year 1 JWE, therefore, corresponds to our year 3761 BCE. Rabbi Hillel, the originator of the jewish calendar, wrote his texts around 4116 JWE, what complies with the year 359 CE and matches with the records of history.  The year numbers given by Hillel and the dates of jewish tradition referring to these, must therefore be correct!  [mehr...]   

The enforced Millennium – no way to ignore Charlemagne!

Early in the year 1000 CE the Emperor Otto III. visited Aachen. There he uncovered the relics of his ancester Càrolus, who had passed away 186 years before. Otto removed the burial objects and extracted a tooth from the skull. He replaced the missing nose of the dead by a gold sheet, before he left the crypt. What was the intention behind this ghoulish spectacle? It did generate 'evidence' for the newly set year-count scheme!      [more...]    

Short Info: Rulers of the
Early Middle-Ages

A letter written by Leo of Vercelli

»Sub caesaris potentia purgat papa secula« 'On the Emperor's order, the Pope will purge the centuries'. Here we have the written evidence for the clandestine reform of the year-count, laid down by the protagonists...          [mehr...]    

Pontificates of the early middle-ages

Can the duplicate year-count be identified within the traditional sequence of the roman popes? Were these doubled, too? The records about these early leaders of the Church are rather poor...   [mehr...]     

Chronology and written records

Observations again confirm the thesis of the manipulated medieval chronology, giving hints about possible motivations and procedures. Gave the wish to predominate over non-trinitarian creeds the impulse to the rulers at Byzantium to duplicate Constantine / Heracleios and their followers? As a reaction, occidental gouvernment matched the own records, adjusting so to the eastern shift.  [mehr...]      

Astronomical Data from the Gospel

A star, standig still above Bethlehem, directing three kings? This sounds more than unlikely! However, many people have given thoughts to the idea that a special planet constellation has been meant or a comet. Seeking in the wrong century, they missed the real event...

Chronology and natural sciences

Does the hypothesis of nearly three deliberately inserted centuries really explain all observations, or are the interrelations even more complex? Indeed: Some retrocalculated events do match conventional chronology. However, all findings can now be combined within a conclusive theory, and allow for the first time to determine the accurate date of the devastating eruption of the Thera volcano.  [mehr...]    

The Occident's Chronology – What are the clues from reproducible data?

A critical survey of independent time-series confirms the impression of a three centuries offset within occidental history. Originally, as it appears, the deviation of history has been confined to the Roman empire. The following 'infection' of other peoples was the consequence of inappropriate synchronisation. A careful analysis of radiocarbon and dendrochronology data reinforces this sight.     [mehr...]

„The Revelation of John“ by Nikolai A. Morosow

In this book, published in 1907, N. Morosov presented evidence that the Book of Revelation accurately describes the virtually unique astronomical situation on the eve of September 30th within the year 395.      [mehr...]    

Gerbert of Aurillac  –  † 12.Mai 1003

Gerbert of Aurillac (pope Silvester II.) was the most prominent scientist of his times. He teached a generation of rulers, scientists and clergymen. Most likely, he was the mastermind behind the re-adjustment of year-numbering.    [mehr...]    

Bishop Thietmar disbelieved in the year count he used!

Thietmar of Merseburg's (Freudian) slip here with his twofold correction allows no other conclusion!
