    This guy made a case that we are really in the year 1728 because Holy Roman emperor wanted their reign to begin in the year 1000 because its pretty. So they made up 290+ years of history and yanked the calendar ahead to cover it up.

    That would be good because it would potentially explain some other conspiracy theories too, like the world didn't end at y2k because we haven't reached it yet. You could milk that for a while

    Y2K was a date tracking problem for computers not a world ending event on this day type thing. It would bring back the Mayan calendar conspiracy with the world ending on 2012 just not happening yet though.
