Interesting article trying to use some detective work, to find the true birth date of Jesus, and the date when Magi, which were the usual ancient astrologers of that time, visited Jesus in Bethlehem.
Spoiler: the Bethlehem star was not a comet.

The Historical Perspective
To understand this story, we must view it in the context of its time.

Indeed. The historical perspective is that "Matthew" is a gospel written decades after the supposed death of Jesus Christ, which itself is decades after his supposed birth.

In other words, there is no history. It's a mythological text to spread the religion of Christianity.

I didn't know our calendar, and Julian too, started in 525 AD, Roman monk named Dionysius Exiguus did that. So all dates before 525 AD are kind of assumed, from our calendar perspective.

Well, interesting article.
Jupiter did some exceptional things in the sky then, conjunction with Regulus star. and Venus.

Now we have the opposite - the evil energy - Algol star making things, if you believe in astrology.

I put no stock in astrology. It's just planets orbiting around the sun.

then I have a surprise for you

there is a disturbance in propagation of Radio waves due to different planetary alignments in space at different angles in different positions, and it happens through their influence upon Sun spots and magnetic storms which in turn had an effect on propagation of Radio waves on Earth. - American Radio Engineer John H. Nelson.


here you have more about this John H Nelson discovery, but I think they discovered this fact during ww2, when trying to make sure their radio-connections would be clear and not intercepted by others

Wow, radio waves! Now explain how they make things evil.

told you Nelson was researching radio waves and discovered this, but actually changing planetary alignments cause fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field, and I hope you know that is affecting us. irritated, scared, empty-minded... those are ingredients when one cook smth evil.

Or, you know, it has zero impact. If you want to make a scientific claim, show scientific evidence that when these alignments happen measurable bad outcomes occur.

Those memes contain bad info:

But they did copy, here's the real academic history from earlier in the talk:

history as taught, is a political, in this case, religious weapon to ensnare the ignorant and make them even more ignorant than they already are
