I think I'm going to make translating "Enthält das frühe Mittelalter erfundene Zeit?" a German translation project. The German language cannot be allowed to have a monopoly on the truth!

The Phantom time hypothesis is a hypothesis developed by Heribert Illig (born 1947 in Vohenstrauß) in 1991. It proposes that there has been a systematic effort to make it appear that periods of history, specifically that of Europe during Early Middle Ages (AD 614–911) exist, when they do not.Three hundred years of history is a fiction. You think you're living in 2010? Well, you're wrong. It's still the 18th century.
