Alright, time for me to straight-up sling some BS around & see if anything sticks
For any who don’t know, Pied Piper was based on a likely true story
Except there weren’t rats
Just a whole bunch of missing children in a town, ~1284
2/ If you read the first images, there are theories that seem like automatic BS
-Black Plague (50 years later)
-All these children were just “sent away at once (right)
-Children’s Crusade (which ended in most being sold to slavery; possible)
Most of these don’t ring true to me
3/ So my focus is going to be on other things, primarily:
-Looking at sacrificial locations (it is, after all, in Germany in the 13th Century)
-Global happenings
-Where everyone should look first when children go missing: the Catholic Church
