Hard Evidence for Islam's Actual Early History - Odon Lafontaine (NAPC 2026, London)

What does the physical evidence really reveal about the origins of Islam? In this presentation from the NAPC 2026 in London, Odon Lafontaine takes a close look at the historical and archaeological records that often get overlooked. While traditional narratives provide one story, the "hard evidence" found in early inscriptions, coins, and physical structures sometimes tells a very different tale. Odon walks us through these findings to help separate established tradition from historical fact. We look at the actual data from the first century of Islam to see how it aligns or conflicts with the accounts written much later. This session is all about following the evidence wherever it leads and understanding the formative years of Islam through a more critical, academic lens.
