There isn't enough evidence to justify this position. I can't see it. The calendar is the same calendar we have been using for centuries, like other major calendars from other great civilizations. So what, if someone dotted a '1' in an old manuscript? Or used a 'J', which was not really a letter in the Roman alphabet?
And as for the notion that the 1000 years somehow justified some aggression by the empire, I don't think that was necessary either.
Europe had been in an almost continuous state of war since Roman times. And when the US was founded, it was populated by the most aggressive and ambitious maniacs from Europe. These people (or their descendants) have been running the show all my life, since WWII, and were clearly behind the Civil War and the genocidal conquest of the Native Americans.<\/div><\/div>
