Romany Gypsy

When you think of CARAVAN, what do you see? Maybe this… Or this….. The cartoon above is my summer reality. Our main road is usually all blocked with zillions of ugly white caravans, all en route to the local seaside town. The gypsy caravans are gorgeous. But, for me, a caravan is […]

Chopines

Have you ever heard of Chopines? I have. They were all over my 17th century research. One of those bizarre things that I love to look into :o) This is a pair of Chopines. They were The Fashion from about 1400-1700, apparently. Not exclusively female but much associated with courtesans and prostitutes. Why? […]

Janissaries

Monday, 1 April 2019, 7:26.Reading time 1 minute.

Who EXACTLY were the famous Janissaries? Wikiwhatever says this – Janissaries Quote – “They began as an elite corps of slave soldiers made up of kidnapped young Christian boys who were converted to Islam.” Mid to late 1300’s. OK. Whatever. How about this? “Christian/Turk.” In the 14th century there was no such distinction. The Great Empire […]

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. So much that is good and beautiful in our lives has been twisted. For example…. Mechanical Lions of the Comnenus.

The History of Paper Twins

Friday, 22 March 2019, 9:46.Reading time 4 minutes.

This began with reading about the Bayeux Tapestry in the light of New Chronology and my own emotional resistance to something that now makes COMPLETE SENSE. I will return to the whys and wherefores another time but the postulation is that the Bayeux Tapestry doesn’t depict the Battle of Hastings 1066 but the Sack of Constantinople […]

The Tartarian Language – Part 2

More linguistical language stuff. Did I mention that it does my head in? This is a loooong but very revealing article. Persevere. You will learn a lot! Just remember that Mongolian = Tartarian.

The Tartarian Language – Part 1

I have just given myself a crash course in Linguistics – a subject that does my head in at the best of times – by looking into several languages i.e. Altaic, Tungusic, Yakutic and Evenkis. Yes….I thought that too. WTF? Anyhoo. it would seem that these languages above are just fancy-pant names for the divisions […]

Who was Jeffrey Hudson?

I might have mentioned someplace here….Oh that would be the book what I wrote. (If you don’t know Morecombe and Wise this bad grammar will make no sense) Rewind – I might have mentioned before that I have spent many years researching 17th C Europe. France mainly but also England, secondly. So I know a […]

Satan was a Man

I have got to get this out of the way before The Hidden History Project can go any further, SATAN is/was/always will be a title. Satan is not an entity. It is/was/always will be a word. Online Etymology Satan (n.) proper name of the supreme evil spirit in Christianity, Old English Satan, from Late Latin Satan (in Vulgate […]
