Just looking into the origins of the extremely rare female name Eunice.
This is the name of the super storm apparently battering the U.K. right now.( outside is actually a super bright sunny and calm morning).
Whilst reading the article I noticed that the dates referenced now State 63 or 68 with AD ( Anno Domini) and BC( Before Christ) absent.
May have been like this for ages, but wonder whether it’s part of the bigger removal of links to Christianity such as in the U.K. Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday becoming Pancake Day , Happy Holidays for Christmas and Easter Egg hunts being renamed Egg Chases.
Yes I saw that comment. I don’t know about 1000 years but 500 years is possible in terms of the period 400AD to 900AD.( The Dark Ages) The Romans meticulously kept dated records and in the U.K. we have strong surviving evidence of this period.
Hadrian’s Wall, the layout of Chester, the remains of Wroxeter etc.
They tend to use the Norman Conquest post 1066 as the start of a more structured building system lots of churches across England and Wales date to this period.
York or Jorvik has Viking origins only truly acknowledged and discovered in the lat 20th Century but very little exists that can be pinned to the period after Roman civilisation diminished in 400AD.
The explanation seems to suggest that it was a kin to when the Europeans withdrew from African colonies.For 500 years all knowledge and intelligence developed during the Roman period suddenly went AWOL and the local Brits forgot how to build any infrastructure.
Stolenhistory.net has lots of stuff on these topics.
Thank you I've bookmarked that to read tonight.👍
I went there expecting to see :
The English Stole It All. FULL STOP
Good info, very interesting. The Dark Ages were what I had in mind, considering the low literacy rate. The powers at the time could say it was whatever year they wanted without much/any non-official record of it. 🍻
