Η «Μικρή Εποχή των Πάγων της Ύστερης Αρχαιότητας» και η εξασθένηση του Βυζαντίου
Μία ξαφνική παρατεταμένη –και όχι σύντομη όπως θεωρείτο μέχρι σήμερα– περίοδος κρύου στο βόρειο ημισφαίριο κατά τον 6ο και 7ο αιώνα, μεταξύ 536 και 660 μ.Χ., συνέβαλε σε δραματικές κοινωνικές αναστατώσεις, στην εξασθένηση της ανατολικής Ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας (Βυζαντίου) και στην επέκταση των Αράβων. Αυτό είναι το συμπέρασμα μιας νέας επιστημονικής έρευνας, που για πρώτη φορά ονομάζει αυτή την περίοδο «Μικρή Εποχή των Πάγων της Ύστερης Αρχαιότητας».

For several years I investigated the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and American Indian spirituality. At other times, I was involved in the underworld of drugs and took mind-blowing steps into Esotericism and the Occult. Nothing however could fill the emptiness in my soul, until the day I found myself facing seven guns. Only then did I have a dramatic and personal encounter with the Unknown God and was saved in quite a miraculous way.
