NOPE

Nothing to prove his statement. To me, the architecture of Serana's 'tomb' looks the same as many other Ancient Nordic ruins.

That is either a flat-faced lie or you have very bad sources. The Empire is shown in the Alliances trailer to be protecting Cyrodiil. Also, from the Clivia Tharn page:

"Empress Regent Clivia Tharn  is Empress of Tamriel"

You can't have an Empress/Emperor without an Empire.

"is also working with the Necromancer Lord Mannimarco by resurrecting the fallen Imperial soldiers."

A king who slaughtered a thousand innocents would be erased from history to make the Nords look better. Propaganda, exactly what Hitler did to make the Germans look better. Also, Forbidden Legend is proof of Nords erasing/changing history to make them look better.

Cyrodiil was not named after Reman. It was originally named Cyrod, but the name eventually became Cyrodiil and then Reman took the name, which is how it got famous.

You do realize there are multiple ways he could have pulled it off? He could have:

Lied and said there was going to be a speech, they all came to the 'speech' and got slaughtered.

Put the city on lockdown (Would most likely have slaughtered them in a gated city) and then killed them.

Killed them while they were sleeping.

The second set of options and it's preceding line in the paragraph state:

''The second verse talks about his conquest of Skyrim, and the Siege of Solitude. The three options to select are:'' Olaf lived during the War of Succession, and you can find proof here:
 * "Olaf ordered disguised troops to attack Solitude?"
 * "He convinced Solitude to attack Winterhold."
 * "He sacked it and used magic to blame Solitude."
