I had a (pretty brilliant) History Professor whose entire theory on historical occurrences involved a 100 year repetition cycle.

He claimed that every century since the Proto-Renaissance could be broken down by the fifth-century (1500-1520, 1520-1540, etc. etc.), and every 20-year block would historically correspond to the same events in every other same 20-year block for ech century for the last 600 years.

I found myself disagreeing with some of his more 'out-there' contentions when he lectured, but, I gotta admit, I left the class feeling that the guy was on to something.
