Who and Why invented Antiquity and Dark Ages? The consensual world history was manufactured in Europe in the XVI-XIX centuries on the political agenda of powers of that period based on erroneous clerical chronology elaborated by Jesuits Joseph Justus Scaliger and Dionysius Petavius. ⦁By the middle of the XVI century, the prime political agenda of Europe that reached superiority in Sciences and Technologies, but was still inferior militarily to the Evil Empire of Eurasia, was to free Europe. ⦁The concerted effort of European aristocracy, black and white Catholic clergy, Protestants, humanists, and scientists in the XVI-XVII centuries in the creation and dissemination of the fictional Ancient World served this agenda. ⦁The fictional Ancient World was created by black and white Catholic clergy, Protestants, humanists, and scientists by representing events of the XI-XVI centuries as ones that happened thousands of years before according to the ancient authorities they invented. ⦁The European aristocracy, a considerable part of which were fugitives from Byzantine and/or the inheritors of Eurasian warlords, supported the myth of the Ancient World to justify its claims to countries they ruled. ⦁The black and white Catholic clergy and Protestants developed and supported the myth of the Ancient World to justify their claims of being more ancient and separate themselves from orthodoxy in the countries ruled by the European aristocracy. ⦁The scientists supported the myth of the Ancient World as a safe cover for their research that produced results heretic from the point of view of Christianity. They justified their discoveries by authorities of ancient scientists they invented and used as pseudonyms. ⦁The humanists developed and supported the myth of the Ancient World as a convenient cover for their ideas that conflicted with Christianity and aristocracy. They, too, justified their ideas based on authorities of ancient authors of their own making and used them as pseudonyms. 'Antiquity' taught in schools and universities worldwide is pure fiction! We are told that 'Antiquity' was followed by many centuries of utter stagnation and decline with virtually nothing happening but wars and famine and the destruction of the priceless ancient monuments. Then, during the Renaissance, the Classical authors reappear from oblivion. Latin and Greek become resurrected as the intelligentsia Esperanto of the Middle Ages. Numerous manuscripts reappear from oblivion to be copied and enter wide circulation and vanish again, never to be found. The learned crowd of humanists and clergy invented 'ancient' Greek, and Latin languages and wrote 'antique' masterpieces under 'antique' sounding pseudonyms. The talented artists, painters, and sculptors of XV-XVII cy mass-produced required paraphernalia. Renaissance was on! The demand for 'antique' labeled articles despite solid prices was high. 'Antiquity' was sold to the public lock, stock, and barrel. How preposterous would it be to suggest that there were no Dark Ages to separate the antiquity from the Renaissance - that the "Re-naissance" was, in fact, the Naissance of the Western European culture as we know it? The mythical Classical Age came into being from misdating medieval events by hundreds and thousands of years. 'Antiquity' meme is planted into defenseless young brains. Kids love tales and don't ask teachers awkward questions.
