the Great, Man theory of history

Adding to the surreality is seeing my name next to Keith Baker, the scholar who saw all my graduate student hubris on display in Introduction to Historiography 🫣

Mike Duncan's Great Idiot Theory of history

More fuel for the 'endless 2001' theory of history right here

part of registering the "ecumenic age" is seeing how warring historiogenetics issue into the practical beginnings of "world" historiography... and so the rest of a very large complex. the last 4 pp of the OH4 ch 1.

What utterly baffles me is that they used 1950s historiography & influences from 1950s fictional swashbuckler 'the Black Knight', ignoring good recent biographies of Baldwin IV & of the Ibelin family...

The Director's Cut introduces even more historical gaffes & fabrications... Really annoyed me. High production values, but so much outdated historiography & plain fairy-tale fictionalisation.
