Message:: [QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3908953, member: 84744"]The date on that coin isn't that clear.  Here's a clearer one:[ATTACH=full]1030226[/ATTACH] The date is given by the three words marked in red.  Reading from bottom to top, it says "tis' wa tis'in" meaning ninety-nine, so AH 99 = 717-18.  (The Umayyad Caliph Sulayman died in that year and was succeeded by Umar II.) Confused here... is there a religious group that accepts the Phantom Time Hypothesis?  In any case there's a clear expert consensus that it's a crackpot conspiracy theory, which is surely OK to point out?[/QUOTE]
