Alternate conspiracy theory: HAI doesn't exist. It's just an advanced machine learning protocol designed to take in topic suggestions, filter though them, and turn them into ok videos. If that were true, that would explain why we rely so heavily on your viewer topic suggestions, so submit yours and, if we use it, we (the computer) will send you a free HAI t-shirt: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

We made a vid about Nike and how they are dominating the sportswear industry: althe.info/number/mI3TeKudp2iWmbI/video This was our alternative thumbnail idea 😉.
People actually believe this? 😓
LOL the Moors ruled from 711-1492
this must be the most hilerious conspiracy ever ...

This is one of the stupidest conspiracy theories ever, because we have scientific proof that our historical dates are correct by matching astronomical events that could only have happened in history if the dates were correct, like a solar eclipse in BC times or other things like that, everything has to align perfectly with the dates, and they do. You basically have to be a moronic flat earther to believe this one also.
That was pretty cool how you censored Mohammed, I’ve never seen anyone else bother
This period is known as the Dark Age, not the Middle Age. Which, by current standards of fact checking, renders this video as false, misleading and canceled. Please make at least some effort.
So according to the phantom time hypothesis sun wu kong the monkey king and his master didn't exist? That's preposterous
It's 90 days in a season, it's 4 seasons which is 360 days in a year. White people history is about, 6000 years old so where did white people come from should be your next video
Middle Ages ended in 911? Charlemange did 9/11 confirmed!
Conspiracy theorists like to look for inexistent problems when the real proven-to-exist ones are constantly right in front of their faces
Can’t believe this was in my recommended considering ALthe hates conspiracy theories. Surprises me, I’m not complaining tho
A+ segue to advertisement is why I’m subscribing.
There are several SCIENTIFIC DATA matching 2-3 centuries of misalignment during the first millennium: -ECLIPSES: Robert Newton (NASA) and Anatoly Fomenko's team proved there was sudden deceleration in Eart-Moon system, shifting eclipses from X-VII centuries. -DENDROCHRONOLOGY: Larsson and Ossowski's studies showed there is a 232 year gap in tree rings in Europe during the 1st millennium. -Spring Equinox measurements from Anatolius of Ladiocea recorded it at 19 March 283 AD. Since in 1582 spring equinox was 11 March (previous to Gregorian Reform) there are 19-11=8 days of difference, which at a rate of 128.2 years/day would give 1025 years instead of the alleged 1300 years. -In the Gregorian Calendar Reform, the pope removed 10 days. If it was done to reform Julian Calendar they should have removed 13 days. If it was done to set Eastern Day on a fix Sunday, they may have created their own "Nicenic Calendar" even if it was just for the sake of no ulterior reforms. Additionaly, NO DOCUMENTS exist that prove that Nicenean goal.
The whole issue here is that we live with a time mentality, time is irrelevant, even frozen snacks tells you how long you should put it in the microwave. The Mayan calendar wasn't even about time, but space, where would things sit or be. We are the only ones who obey time. There is always a time for anything, or no time at all.

Another conspiracy: yo mama is a llama
Are you completely stupid. It's the DARK AGES, not the middle ages you numbskulls 🤦♂️
Lol are you crazy Karen
Awww but I like this theory cause that means we are like,in the 1700s actually??? That would be so cool

Just as an FYI the roman style of the Victoriana was a delebrat choice to give the idea of continuity from the roman empire to the British in order to create the mith of ligtmasy (i know i can't spell)
Wait, but if there’s 360ish years unaccounted for, why would the solution be to subtract those year not add them.

Wait, can someone explain the take a day off every 100 years and re add it every 400?
Wait, why would the Julian calendar be off by only 10 days? Did we correct the leap thing?

*Nicea is pronounced ny-sea-ah*
so, we're actually living in the year 1700. kinda crazy never thought about how do we know for a fact we're living in the year "2020"... what unarguable authority do we have that says this is how much time has actually past...

Well according to relativity stuff, the entire universe could in fact rotate around Earth, and as obvious as it may be, there's no way to prove it does nor doesn't in the same way we can't prove if the universe rotates or not.

Calendars!!!!!
I personally love antiques, and I do have some carbon dated ones from this time period. So trust the guy with an anime profile pic and name, will you?
I do love looking at fellow humans being idiots
Perpetual calendar watches have to have the date adjusted once every 400 years to account for leap centuries. The next one is in 2100. Bit of watch mechanic nerd stuff for you guys.
Solution to your zoom issue: use Microsoft Teams :-)
Not into conspiracy theories but carbon dating is not reliable

Some people think conspiracy theorists are obsessive. It’s just guys being “what if” hypothetical then doing research for entertainment
So according to the conspiracy people on new year in 613 (31.12.613) just decided that the next day is January the 1st 912... *For no fucking reason* (It's a joke don't take it serious, looking at you karens)
l have no idea why this Theory is being slowly introduced, l saw a video sometime ago where they said there were never any Anglo-Saxon's in Brittany as it was called then. l couldn't stop laughing until l sat back and thought, goodness some people will take that seriously. l am here to inform that as l write to you, l descend from the Anglo - Saxons of Brittany. l have personally seen our Crest with many, many others, that sit on the roof of The Great Banquet Hall in England. l have our Crest hanging in my own home, although we don't have a Motto, as they didn't come in until about 13th -14th Centaury, our Family name is very Ancient. Who do you think fought the Crusade's? Thank God my family down through time has kept records, today l am a 9th Generation Australian, we are actually 11 Generation's now. The 1st photograph of my family was taken in 1832 in Australia. No Middle Age's l find that particularly insulting

@Vlad Prus Exactly. Where did the Anglo-Saxon Language come from before English was introduced. It irritates me to no end regarding History being re-written. Also, l would love an explanation regarding the Throne, that all English Monarch's sit on at their Coronation. It's the Throne of Edward The Confessor, who was an Anglo-Saxon King. When Prince Charles becomes King, he too, will sit on that Throne.

"l saw a video sometime ago where they said there were never any Anglo-Saxon's in Brittany" so what would be the origin of English language then?
I didn't know that dismissiveness was part of the scientific process.
Open mind a little more u almost got it but its huge u have to prepage ur mind for TO SEE the size of the fraud here___
So basically we've got another 300 years until the world ends? Great, more delays! Oh well, I guess I'll take that holiday after all...
Oh, so the Vikings never happened? Smh
I met a man that believed he was the only real person , The world was a hologram and he was a prisoner stuck in it. Nothing you say will convince him otherwise, because you are part of the program. He is not allowed in public. They keep him under observation to prevent him trying to get out of the matrix, ie. killing himself.
i guess we are just gonna ignore the rise of islam
the meaning of the term "Conspiracy Theory" as used here is a mutation. (Conspiracy theory = suspicions about an organized group of two or more persons carrying out covert plans, usually for corrupt purposes)
The i660 vs.1660 (i vs 1) aspect of related theories wasnt addressed.

"Who name sounds like an IKEA furniture" that cracked me up 😅😅😅... This guy's presentation is awesome man...
1715 is coming to an end I mean 2020! Bring on 1716.... I mean 2021!
Amein! HalleluYah!
So the question is not so much did years happen but what were they numbered, did the numbering star over, from zero or from something else (like 325) and why etc.
Now ASTRONOMY I can get behind thank you for pointing that out.
CARBON DATING is NOT reliable. It depends upon carbon 14 (which is harmlessly radioactive but decays so that is why it is usable but not in this case for a timer). In order to USE it to date with it has to be uniform across the earth and across time. If it happens to be in different concentrations either at different locations OR at different times it no longer functions as a reliable date indicator. Because you no longer know if the animal, plant or person has less C14 because of where they came from, or if that year there just happened to be less they breathed in rather than it has been 1000 years SINCE they breathed more in and it decayed into C12. Well even though the archeologists did not want to question that supposition other scientists were busy doing research that bore on that very problem. Collecting ice core, glacier cores, ocean cores and lake bed cores. After looking at papers from all these different disciplines and projects I and others came to an important conclusion. C14 dating is crap because it is random in the environment. The prevailing theory among the GEOLOGISTS writing those important papers is that since it was found in spikes along with other elements associated with meteors that might explain why the spikes. And why the distribution across the earth is not uniform either. In fact currently archeologists use C14 to make other more important and appropriate observations. For example is the skeleton they just dug up more likely to be a local or an invading Viking? Because the C14 concentration is very germane to locations. Just not time.
Snarling and mocking does not make you sound smarter than the other guy. Debating his facts does that. See you have a MUCH bigger problem than that oversimplified explanation of the "missing time" theory. Where are the head stones all over Europe that SHOULD say things like 1275 or 1112. Most of the ones historians CLAIM have dates of that nature actually say i275 or i112. AND so do the coins. Printed by various kings and kingdoms so it is not just an issue in a single country mind you. And supposedly these are the dark ages where ALL the kings and kingdoms forgot how to write and left us nothing in the form of written records. Suspicious much? In fact the Muslims have such records but, and here is where the calendars matter, they do not count time the way the ROMANS (therefore popes who are really all descendants of Caesars) do, or the second Reich. You know Holy Roman Empire? Hitler tried to establish the third one of those. So we have a serious problem figuring out what year IS this? 2020, more than 2000 years since Christ or 1020 1000 years since Christ or something else entirely. Since we were lied to entirely about the native peoples who live on this continent when Europeans arrived how much do you really trust their history of the European continent? Some of the cities like Chicago were intact cities when the Pilgrim's landed.

The dark ages started when Rome invaded Greece
Did ancient civilization invent the club or was it modern man
Did you forget about the gregorian calendar fixing things on that 1000 year scale already too? There's some funky maths involved in the millennium years as well. The calendar fixes itself for a good 20k years without input. On another note, time keeping (separate from date keeping) needs to be adjusted by using "leap seconds" every once in a while too, that's a fun fact
Birds aren't real.
Oh wait... so this is about dates?. I was expecting you to pick the typical route of "The Middle ages never happened cuz the medival times began with the fall of the roman empire and the roman empire didn't fall until 1453 with the fall of Constantinople". Not this.
So the foundation of Islam never happened? Good to know.
Council of Nicaea say Ni- See- A not nick - kea
"whose name sounds like Ikea furniture" is your way of telling people what to believe? Lies take a lot of effort. Truth does not. Just present the facts. Mentioning the name of the theory was a good start. We'll do our own research from here, thanks!
It's all fake!! considering the fact that we base our time and dates on a fairy tale about a man named jesus.. no one knows exactly what year we're in, it's safe to say we're in the billions!
People still use B.C./A.D.?
5:37 Haram.
Its not a pretense if you're educated (in it).
The Middle Ages are long gone for me, can we make it so Old Ages never happen?
so how did we transit from the early ages, to the late ages?
The big aqueduct isn't actually Roman. It's the Aqueduct Saint Clement in Montpellier dating to 1766.

Seamless segue.
Did you just use the Wikipedia article to make this video? Because literally every example you sited came from the Wikipedia article for phantom time hypothesis. Or maybe you edited the Wikipedia page after making this video
..all this fuss.. and no one bothers to mention Fomenko
You studied nothing about this theory but okay, keep idiotizing people. You give 0 solid evidences, neither to prove it or disprove it. 5 minutes of wasted time. Learn how to make a research, we all know how to use the damn wikipedia.

Uhhm question when did magic exist?, why were they found 1600 only to be slaughtered? why werent they in the middle ages? magic should've been helpful. who told the popes of 1600 that there was a magic user a witch?
