To your insighful considerations we would add that, as previously mentioned, the
term Gothic was coined by classicising Italian writers of the Renaissance, who
are thought to have attributed the invention of medieval architecture, and of
the related script, to Gothic tribes.
"Gothic" architecture is said to have been originally called "ars francorum",
but, to our knowledge, this claim has not been substantiated by contemporary
sources.

Gothic architecture is of Arabic/Islamic inspiration. He supported this claim
mainly in the book "The Rise of English Culture" and the paper "Gothic and
Saracen Architecture" (from page 656 of this review:

understood, it is necessary to know that Johnson argued that Islam came first,
then Judaism and, finally, Christianity. In this paper, Johnson relies heavily
upon Christopher Wren, who said that Gothic architecture should be considered as
"Saracen architecture refined by the Christians" and an importation of the
"crusades". Interestingly, according to Wren, "gothic" was a pejorative term for
the men of the seventeenth century – as is "barbarian" today. Johnson also
discusses the origins of the first freemasons.

perhaps that they were built from the fourteenth century on. He touched upon
this in his book "The Pauline Epistles". I have been critically studying the
origins of the cathedrals and I would tend to agree with him – monastic tales of
cathedrals being built in Germany and Europe at the time of Constantine and
during the "dark" centuries seem to be fabulous to a large extent. However,
perhaps Johnson was not bold enough in his thinking: cathedrals, as we can see
them today, may be much more recent. I have been studying the cathedral of
Cologne in particular, in order to go further than Fomenko who studied this
cathedral, and this is what would appear. I will write more on this in the
future – I need to read a few more books before I can be certain of what I say.

> For those who read French, the books of architect and historian Daniel Ramée
(1806 – 1887) could prove very interesting
(http://www.inha.fr/IMG/article_PDF/article_a2505.pdf). A racialist and aryanist
heavily influenced by Gobineau's works, he wrote an enormous book on the history
of architecture, which contain perhaps interesting thoughts on Gothic
architecture. Foreshadowing Alfred Rosenberg, he had a profound
anti-Christianity stance and wrote a very interesting book, "Action de Jésus sur
le monde", explaining how Christianity negatively impacted the European peoples.
"Théologie cosmogonique ou reconstitution de l'ancienne et primitive loi" is of
the same vein, except it dwells more on the Aryan worldview. It contains a few
things fanciful, however. All these books can be downloaded online.

die-fc3a4lschung-der-deutschen-geschichte-band-1.pdf It was written in plain
language. It should be noted that the author is not a `free electron', since his
critical re-examination of presumed historical facts and existing historiography
relies to a large extent on earlier revisionist sources.
