The Phantom Time Hypothesis

About this episode

The episode explores the Phantom Time Hypothesis, questioning the accuracy of our historical timeline.

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week we are going to be answering the age old question that has stumped humanity for centuries...what year is it? Mainstream science would WANT you to believe that it’s the year 2026 but what if I told you its actually the year 1729!? Sounds crazy, right? Well...maybe not. But probably. The theory goes that an emperor, a pope, and some other guy invented 300 years of history to land themselves at the year 1000 AD. Why? Who knows dude. So sit back, open your mind, and enjoy!
