A.D. 614–911 Phantom Warp Ancient Coin 6-pc Set

Quashing The Phantom Time Hypothesis

In 1991, German author and historian Heribert Illig made a name for himself with the publication of his controversial “Phantom Time Hypothesis,” a theory that argued roughly 297 years—the years A.D. 614 to 911—were arti­ficially added to the calendar by medieval scholars and rulers to legitimize their rule and enhance their prestige. The overwhelming consensus in the academic community is that there is no credible evidence to suggest that a substantial portion of the medieval period is ­fictional or arti­ficially created.

Coins That Disprove A Cockamamie Thesis

Illig supported his cockamamie thesis by citing a relative scarcity of archeological material from that period, the reliance of medieval histories on written—and thus easily faked—documents, the existence of Romanesque architecture in Europe, and some sort of discrepancy dating to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. There are obvious holes in this theory: Charlemagne, the rise of Islam, calendars from other parts of the world, astronomical records, and common sense for starters. Other proof exists through the coins that are part of this six-piece collection. Not only do these coins offer further proof that the era existed, but each is also well over 1,000 years old:

• 12 Nummi of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire started out as the Eastern Roman Empire and continued on after the fall of Rome in A.D. 476 for another thousand years. This type of coin was used in daily transactions.
• Chinese Cash Coin of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Empire was an imperial dynasty that ruled China from 618 to 907. In Ancient China, it was believed that heaven was round while the earth was square. This was one of the reasons that the famous Cash Coins of China display a square hole in the center.
• Drachm from the Kingdom of Nepal. During this time, Nepal was first ruled by the Licchavi dynasty before being replaced by a series of Thakuri kings who ruled up to the middle of the 11th century. Giving credence to Illig’s theory, not much is known of this period, which is called “the dark period.”
• A Fals struck by the Amirs of Multan, a medieval Muslim kingdom in Punjab that was based in the city of Multan located in modern Pakistan.
• A Drachm from the Kingdom of the Maitrakas of Valabhi, who ruled in western India from their capital at Vallabhi where they worshiped the Hindu god Shiva as the supreme being.
• A Jital from Persia. This coin was struck by the Saffarid Dynasty in the ninth century. The Saffarids were a Persianate dynasty of eastern Iranian origin that ruled over parts of Persia, Greater Khorasan, and eastern Makran from 861 to 1003
