So, the Middle Ages never happened due to the "Phantom Time Hypothesis", put forth at this link. To be fair, Illig isn't suggesting that ALL of the Middle ages were falsified, just the ~300 years between 614 and 911. This could be due to a clerical error, or, more excitingly, a conspiracy theory on the part of the Catholic Church.

This has got to be one of the larger piles of shit I think I've ever heard! I'd put forth more spirited venting about truly insane revisionism, but to be honest I'm tired to the point of stupid and just can't cough up the words. I know several of y'all are medeivalists/historians of various stripes - what say you? Have you even heard of this - it was news to me until a co-worker told me about it today.

I just read some of that article to pagawne who then turned to me and said, "I want some of whatever they're smoking."
