Why and When historical duplicates and parallels prove manipulation of History?

One of the principal indications of the mediaeval origins of many ancient documents is the very existence of a Renaissance when all of the ancient scientific disciplines, philosophy, arts, and culture in general are assumed to have been revived. The major driving force was the dynasty of Medichi of Florence starting with Cosimo the Elder, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Popes Leo 10th and Clement 7th. The hub of the Renaissance; one of the world’s most architecturally beautiful cities; with countless museums and galleries crammed with masterpieces. Here is where Florence assumes its crucial role in European and world history. Experts in both trade and banking (the Medici were to finance many of the adventures that opened up trade routes around the world), the city grew staggeringly rich. The families liked to flaunt their wealth, and money was poured into patronage of the arts, as Florence became a home to artists, sculptors, architects and musicians. As scholars rediscovered or created under aliases the ancient literature and culture of Greece and Rome, Europe emerged from the Dark Ages; meanwhile the likes of Michelangelo, Donatello and Brunelleschi (and a hundred more whose works adorn Florence today) were pushing the representational arts to ever-greater heights. An explosion of intellectual energy in the city saw radical thinkers (such as Machiavelli or Savanarola), and the dissemination of their ideas via the new medium of printing. The “resplendent Classical Latin” regains its former splendor in the Renaissance. This “revival” of Latin and Classical Greek begins in the 8th 9th century a.d. The famed mediaeval troubadours begin to use the plots that the historians call “a masquerade of classical recollections” in the alleged 10 and 11th century. The “history of Ulysses” , Odyssey appears in the 11th century as a “mediaeval remake” of the “well-known classical story complete with knights, belles dames, jousting tournaments, in fact, all the, elements that shall later be considered integral to a “Classical” plot.
