Today they burn piers like they once burned books.

Who invented the atlas?

The Roman-named Gerardus Mercator (1512 - 1594) from Holy Roman Belgium. He worked with Roman-named Gemma Frisius (a guy) and Roman-named Abraham Ortelius.

Late Roman Eminents

Roman-named eminents in Diary of Abraham de la Pryme, include its author - Abrahami/Abrahamus de la Pryme - himself:

• Very Rev. Augustus Duncombe, D.D., Dean of York, 1814-1880
• Rev. Cornelius Heathcote Reaston-Rodes
• J. A. Fabricius, 1668–1736, a German classical scholar and bibliographer. But reference may be to Johannes Fabricius or Johan Christian Fabricius
• Kaius College - (Gonville and Caius, Cambridge?)
• Mr. Cornelius Lee
• Sir Cornelius Vermuyden ('the drainer') - 1595-1677 - Ie drainer of the Fens
• Cornelius Peroli
• Alexius Elcock
• Octavius Leefe Possibly this one

Roman-named eminents show up in William Stukeley's Itinerarium Curiousum, Second Ed. 1776. They include the author - Guilelmo - himself:

• Theophilus Grant
• Rev. Gulielmo Stukeley

Gulielmo Stukeley himself turns out to be yet another Augustan Roman historian. Source

He even signed Itinerarium Curiosum's preface as 'Guliel'.

Norfolk-based Rev. Augustus Jessopp was very involved with:

• Rewriting the 17th Century reformatting into a Civil War (possibly partnered with Thomas Carlyle): Before the Great Pillage
• Creating a back-story for England's new working class: England's peasantry and Village Life in Norfolk Six Hundred Years Ago
• Co-creating the former Elizabethan elite: One Generation of a Norfolk House
• Changing England's former inhabitants into gentle religious orders: The Coming of the Friars
• Various histories to support a new history of England's so-called religious buildings: Norwich, The Life and Miracles of St. William of Norwich
• Forging John Donne: John Donne: Sometime Dean of St. Paul's

Early in England's Peasantry, Jessopp helpfully points out that our predecessors were human:

The inhabitants of these areas were human, and so they had their rivalries, their feuds, their quarrels, their fights, just as, I suppose, ants and beavers have among themselves;

Perhaps Jessopp was addressing the problem with folklore: that it keeps saying our predecessors were not human. That giants and giant serpents were still being reported in England into the 18th century.

And that artists were drawing attention to elite efforts to replace real memories with stories based on heroic, dead 'sovereigns' noted for rape and murder:

Jessopp published his work to American English speakers with the help of another Roman revenant: Titus Munson Coan. Coan introduced Christianity to Hawaii and, like Scotland's Constance Cumming, was involved with describing - and explaining - volcanoes.

Jessopp was also a good friend of MR James, who re-wrote memories of the past as 'mere' ghost stories.

Roman-named antiquarians also ensured appropriate international artifacts appeared in the new state museums and that earthworks were ploughed out or appropriately explained. Others ensured people living in 'problematic' English towns learned sanitised local histories:

• Pseudo-Rev. Octavius Morgan
• Augustus Wollaston Franks
• Augustus W. H. Meyrick - supplied 'antiques' to Augustus Wollaston Franks above
• Augustus Pitt-Rivers
• Cornelius Brown | 1852-1907 | Wrote History of Newark-on-Trent; being the life story of an ancient town |

Roman archaeologists

From Augustus Pitt-Rivers:

Pitt Rivers was a soldier and archaeologist, hugely influential in the development of modern archaeology.

Significant modern archaeologists Pitt-Rivers influenced include:

• Mortimer Wheeler:

  born on 10 September 1890 in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. [Wheeler] was: - the first child of the journalist Robert Mortimer Wheeler and his second wife Emily Wheeler (née Baynes).[2] - The son of a tea merchant based in Bristol

  Wheeler went on to fabricate a Roman massacre of the British at Maiden Hill, Dorset. However, the Maiden Castle massacre seems to have been one of Wheeler's smaller fibs. Apparently, Mortimer Wheeler also reconstructed Indian history:

  From Mortimer Wheeler:

  Wheeler had a significant impact on the archaeology of the Indian subcontinent. Indian archaeologist Dilip K. Chakrabarti praised Wheeler's achievements in a 1982 volume of the World Archaeology journal, relating that he had helped to establish a "total view" of the region's development from the Palaeolithic onward.

• Augustus Wollaston Franks:

  His early years were spent mainly in Rome and Geneva (translation: the Holy Roman Empire) he made himself the leading authority in England on medieval antiquities

Kubrick films drop many hints that Roman achievements were fabricated by Pitt-Rivers' students like Wheeler and Franks from the remnants of the Holy Roman Empire:

Roman scientists

Astronomer Charles Piazzi-Smyth (1819-1900) was allegedly named after his godfather, Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi. Conceived mounting telescopes on mountain tops. Hauling them up with mules. See similar example.

Ingenious Eugenius Birch was an engineering Roman revenant:

• Eugenius Birch, 1818-1884

While still a boy he submitted a design for a passenger carriage to the London and Greenwich Railway company. His innovation, to place the wheels beneath the carriage as opposed to the side, thus freeing more room for the passengers was adopted by the railway. he received a silver Isis Medal

Ingenious Eugenius allegedly designed 14 English piers. The foundations of his first pier at Margate proved impossible to blow up. After that, Birch's piers started burning down:

Nearby Brighton pier burned (twice) in 2003; Hastings pier inexplicably burned in 2010

The clean-up continues.

And Roman revenants built nice villas:

And Romanesque mausoleums - built by Italian workmen:

"Italian workmen" is a euphemism. It means "Holy Roman Empire workmen".

Holy Roman Empire is also a euphemism. It means "Late-stage Roman Empire".

From: The Folly Flaneuse:

In 1828 Holme Island was offered for sale, with the particulars stressing its value as the site ‘for a Villa’.

From The Folly Flaneuse:

Local tradition has it that the temple was ‘executed by Italian craftsmen’. This may refer to the lovely painted studies of Roman goddesses that decorated the interior of the dome.

"Italian craftsmen" is a euphemism. It means "Holy Roman Empire craftsmen".

Holme Island Temple is reminiscent of Brocklesby Mausoleum, Great Limber, Sleaford:

Theophilus Fairfax Johnson allegedly built Spalding's Johnson Mausoleum, consecrated in 1843 at Holland House, Spalding.

Blended-named German and Roman artists - and their art - were forged in the 19th century, says Oleg Novoseltsev. Presumably, as part of the creation of Christianity.

And art by Roman and German-named artist Hieronymus Bosch was faked in the 1930s by Salvador Dali.

Miscellaneous Revenants:

Because there was good reason to rewrite the evidence of our past:
