The witches hunted by the Inquisition are not people, but fake coins
The well-known Russian researcher, author of the "Logistic Theory of Civilization" Igor Grek was always amazed at the illogicality of the actions of the Inquisition. Why would the Vatican burn thousands of women all over Europe under a clearly far-fetched pretext? There is no economic or political benefit from this, and for the Catholic Church, such behavior was unacceptable even in the dark Middle Ages.
He found a sensational answer by "decrypting" the instructions of the Inquisition to identify "witches."
The instructions issued for the investigative apparatus of the Holy See contain completely sane recommendations on the investigative technique in the spirit of the legislation of that time, and many of them have not lost their significance today. However, the sections dealing with the expertise to identify the authenticity of the "witches" seem frankly delusional. The Middle Ages, of course, were dark, but not as idiotic as they might seem if everything written is taken at face value. The true goals of the Inquisition were economic in nature. And the fight against heresy was in many ways a cover, as is now the "democratic values" for the US bombings all over the world.
The truth in all its simplicity was revealed to Igor Grek when he saw that the instructions of the Inquisition to identify the "witch" would completely coincide with the methods of establishing the sample of precious metals according to the "Assayer's Guide". And if you replace the word "witch" with "counterfeit coin" in the records of the Inquisition, then everything falls into place. Let's compare and we, too, and then we will understand what was burned at the stake all over Europe.
The Catholic Church readily supports stories about the horrors of the Inquisition and even publicly repents in order to hide its main secret from the people - the pursuit of money.
Red-hot Iron Test
Delusion
The iron test is characteristic only of the early Middle Ages. The "witch" had to not get burned by holding a red-hot bar of iron in the palm of his hand for several minutes. It was believed that God would protect the innocent in such a situation, and even legendary examples of acquittals were given!
Actually
In fact, this means that a coin made of pure silver will not melt, "it will last a few minutes without damage", since iron heated to a light red color has a temperature of 830-900°С, and pure silver melts at a temperature of 960°С. All alloys with a silver content below 91 percent begin to melt at the same temperature - 779°C.
The conclusion was as follows: if the coin, when heated for several minutes with a red-hot iron, "did not get burns", did not melt, then it is real.
