very few people are aware that the B C A D chronology as we know it was created by a
handful of Jesuits in the 16th 17th century - Joseph Scaliger, Dionysius Petavius and
their successors. We have grown so accustomed to a timeline that runs through many millennia,
from the Egyptian pyramids to the present day, that the mere thought of questioning
its veracity seems perfectly preposterous - just like the notion of a rotating earth
must have seemed in the epoch of Galileo Galilei, and just as heretical. But nevertheless -
the entire conception of ancient and mediaeval history know to us today owes its existence
to a XVI century Jesuit hoax.
