Julius Caesar Scaliger and his son Joseph Scaliger—giants of humanist scholarship, from the Poetices to ancient inscriptions—were entangled in forgery: the father invented a noble genealogy and the son defended it in a world where even illustrious learning could use a noble pedigree.

Tartaria, Mud Flood & Revelation Cover-Up: How Emperor Nero, Fomenko’s 700 Fake Years & the 1893 World’s Fair Hid a Destroyed Global Empire
Investigate the ultimate alternative history hypothesis uniting Emperor Nero's first-century cataclysm with the deliberate demolition of 19th-century World's Fairs, revealing how Anatoly Fomenko’s statistical anomalies, flawed radiocarbon dating, and the Scaliger timeline were weaponized to insert 700 fabricated years into the Middle Ages to obscure the Mud Flood and erase a highly advanced global civilization.

Marcus Manilius wrote a five-book astrological poem around AD 30 and was largely ignored for fourteen hundred years. Poggio Bracciolini found a copy near Konstanz in 1417 — and the scribe he hired botched it so badly it had to be divined, he said, rather than read.

5 Aug 1540: b. Joseph Justus Scaliger, chronologer, #Protestant, whose work deeply influenced Archbishop James Ussher's chronology and the latter's conclusion that the world was created in 4004BC. It seems odd now, but it was very fine textual and scholarly work for the period.

Un château les pieds dans l'eau, ceinturé de douves qui filent vers le lac de Garde... Les Scaliger l'ont bâti au XIIIe siècle avec un truc rare: un port militaire fermé, la darse, pour cacher leur flotte. Sirmione, presqu'île forteresse.

Top Guglia design made for Stonemachia. The building is a mix of Orvieto's Duomo, building in Venice and Pisa. Instead for the entrance I used Scaliger Tombs as references that I visited long time ago. In each area you can find three different bosses, even if the architecture is similar.
