"There are few people who are going to have more credibility than the British Viscount James Bryce. Educated at the University of Glasgow and Oxford, a professor at the latter, and one of the heads of the International Court of Justice in the Hague, he was one of the trial judges that handed down a guilty verdict to Germany after World War I.


Before all that, though, he was climbing mountains and trying to prove the absolute historical accuracy of the Bible…"

There's also the "Missing Time Hypothesis" that says that the centuries from the 6oo's to 900's were all made up, so that the Holy Roman Emperor could reign at the Millenium.

"and Cluff says that he believes the Earth will be destroyed by a solar flare in 2021".

I wonder what he says now?

You can call yourself whatever you want. But unless you have a PhD in history you are not a historian.

Poor Siborne – no PhD in History so his History of the Waterloo Campaign is worthless?

"You can call yourself whatever you want. But unless you have a PhD in history you are not a historian."

You mean the people who told me in college that individuals don't matter, and history is a series of unstoppable movements by peoples and societies?

I disagree. Vehemently.

So… they got Napoleon crossing the Ganges to attack Pearl Harbor with Stukas all wrong? ;-)

I don't call myself a historian, but I was an official US Army military historian and commanded a military history detachment. I also taught the Military History course a couple of times prior to retiring from that career. So, I was paid for it therefore a professional – but amongst the things I call myself currently I don't call myself a historian.
