Geschichte erfunden? Kirche, Mythen & Macht – Gerd Reuther bei Michael Meyen

What if our history isn't what we believe it to be? Physician and author Dr. Gerd Reuther argues that many "facts" from antiquity to the modern era are constructs of the Church and power centers. In conversation with Michael Meyen, he explains why Troy, Hippocrates, and the Limes (Roman frontier fortifications) might be more fiction than reality—and what that means for our future. 💬 Topics: Why history is important The power of the Church as an institution to interpret history Sources of historical writing Why ancient thinkers are fictional figures Education for our grandchildren 🕒 Chapter overview: 00:00 – What will this be about? 01:01 – Who is Gerd Reuther? 02:12 – Why history is important 05:15 – The example of Hippocrates 08:05 – Why should we believe Gerd Reuther?
