mithec's video: Why are there so many gaps and twists on the chronologocal scale

@Why are there so many gaps and twists on the chronologocal scale?

We are accustomed to treating history as an immutable whole, complete with a very convenient chronological scale attached. Every event we're interested in can be looked up, which usually satisfies the most frequently encountered kind of amateur historian who wants to know the "right date for everything". The tradition of memorizing vast arrays of perfectly useless material hails back to Giordano Bruno and beyond, so there must be something in it that baffles the imagination of mere mortals. Professional historians are well aware that there are lots of gaps and inexplicable twists on this scale, and prefer to remain taciturn about those for the very simple reason that they're professional historians, and paid to make that scale look even. However, apparently this cannot be done.
