History: Fiction or Science?

A remarkable video ad for a book claiming that the medieval and classical periods didn’t really happen.

I guess my BA in English (emphasis: medieval literature) is even more useless than I thought!

This little infomercial is repetitive; you should get the gist after 2 minutes or so. I was hoping for more detail myself – like what the author posits was actually happening prior to the Renaissance, if all the stuff we thought was happening wasn’t! I guess if you want to know, you have to buy the book, History: Fiction or Science? (Amazon). How tempting. I do love the title, though. Last I checked, history was a little bit of fiction and a little bit of science, but mostly, well, history. How naive of me.
