I love 'alternative chronologies'. Plenty of people are familiar with the Phantom Time hypothesis, which claims that the entire Carolingian period (614-911) never happened and was invented by the Pope, Holy Roman Emperor, and Byzantine Emperor.
But there's also the 'new chronology' proposed by Anatoly Fomenko, which claims that literally everything before the year 1600 AD is wrong and was falsified by the Pope, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Romanovs. (The Byzantines probably would've helped too but they were out of commission.) Rome was actually founded in 1380, and the Temple of Solomon is the Hagia Sophia.

And Solomon is Suleiman the Magnificent.

It's like Anatoly was wrong about some historical fact when talking with a friend, but instead of admitting he was wrong he decided to just lie until people believed him, but the lie kept getting bigger to keep it consistent.
I love it.

I love those theories because they just ignore the entirety of Eastern civilization and ignore the predictable astronomical events that would not have been able to happen in an abridged timeline.

Two massive oversights - half the planet and outer space - but that's just glossed over.

There was, it just came about during the 'Middle Ages' and was nothing like the real Western Roman Empire.

I'm on what appears to be the theory's official website, and

According to English history of 1-400 A.D. England at that time was a Roman province. English history of that period speaks more about events in Rome itself then in England. It was proved in [1],[24], [34], [35], [36], [37], that Roman history of that time reflects real events that took place in the "Mongolian" Empire around the 13-16 century A.D.
