I'm not saying I fully believe in the "Phantom Time Hypothesis" or whatever, but it's very clear to me that all history from this period is very unreliable, and the only reasons historians generally accept all these narratives of Roman decline and Islam's rise is because it's convenient for them.

Pretty much all of history prior to the invention of the print is very unreliable and based on a few propagandists hired by the elites. There's whole damn centuries where we have zero information on what even happened!
