History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

my favorite!!.......2007-09-09

After all these years I still adore this story about Heather and Brandon. Their story is so true. You can feel the love growing between them, even though the odds weren't good at all in the beginning. Brandon is rough around the edges and Heather is a bit too shy in the beginning. But as the story continues these things just work out.
I loved this story and together with a rose in winter, this one is my all time favorite.

Rape, love and other nonsense.......2007-08-29

I wanted to push it to 2.5 stars, but can't. I understand that Woodiwiss supposedly changed the face of romance, but I don't see how. Of course I didn't start reading romances until the mid eighties, and they were still using either rape or the Stockhom Syndrome to justify why unbelievably gorgeous females fell in love with handsome criminals-but at thirteen you're just pleased as peas to be reading things regarding sex.
As grown women, these authors should have known better. During the reading of this, I kept trying to excuse things by saying-okay it's fantasy. Apparently this author or authors found an audience that had rape fantasies. Or fantansies of being so beautiful that men can't be in the same room with you without having to have you. (Hey, in a world where people fantasize about being farm animals or hanging themselves to get off, who am I to judge?) Still, do you realized that Heather Birmingham was raped or nearly raped 8 times!!!!
The author ignored every REAL possibilty to redeem Brandon and instead went for the campy, by showing us, see-he offers jobs to the needy, see he buys her everything a woman could want, see he throws her wild parties. Everything-but the obvious: have him remorsful about the rape. But no, by the end of the book, if she doesn't willingly come to his bed, he'll rape her again! WTF?
Then there are the out of this world flowery literary prose. Who talks like this? So much of the dialogue, especially in the third act, was hard to digest-very hard. And don't get me started on that ridiculous murder storyline. You mean to tell me this woman was so dumb she couldn't tell whether someone had stop breathing or simply passed out drunk? As for the comment that Woodiwiss was the first to open up the bedroom-(if you want to call that flowery nonesense sex) that's not true. Pauline Reage's Story of O was written in 1953 was the first. And as far as being the foremother of romance, I'd give that honor to the likes of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters or even Margret Mitchell. Those women also wrote characters readers could identify with and romances that you could root for. Romance writers get so much slack, but the truth is that this drivel is what started the literary world looking down their noses at the genre and rightfully labeling them Bodice rippers. Frankly I like to pretend this period in romance never happened.

Not my cup of tea...........2007-07-19

I had heard great things about this book; I was told that it started the whole genre of the romance novel so when I picked it up to read it, I did so wanting to like it. Still I want to like it, but after reading it I can not get past the cavalier attitude towards rape found in this book. Basically the "hero" Brandon mistakes the "heroine" Heather for a prositute and even though she tells him "no" he rapes her. Even after he finds out that she is no prostitute he bascially shrugs it off, rapes her again and tells her that she is to be his mistress. And somehow by the end of the book this is all okay. Rape is not something I take lightly and so I guess it is a given that I would not enjoy this book. I realize that there are many who like this book and I'm not trying to belittle the book, but for those who do not enjoy romance novels where the so called hero rapes the heroine then this is probably something you won't enjoy. I must say that I was enjoying the book up until the rape, and I would like to read something else by Woodiwiss that may be more to my tastes.

tedious to say the least.......2007-07-19

Wow this book was a drag to read. The characters barley spoke to each other. No witty banter, hardly any conversation at all. Absolutely no chemistry...I skimmed most the book b/c it was so boring. Never reading another book from this author

Flame and Flower.......2007-07-02

Absolutely love this book. This is the first romance novel I've ever read and loved it. Fell in love with romance novels and in love with Woodiwiss splendor novels. I'd definitley recommend it to anyone. Everytime I reread it, it makes me fall back into the world of romance and takes me back into time and I feel like I'm apart of the book. Woodiwiss is very talented. The book was great, the hero was great, the herione was great. All the other characters were great.

Another winner!.......2004-01-28

This volume contains the following issues:

#55 "Lonesome night": Learn more about Tambi's past... And really watch what you call her... It may cost you dearly.

#56 "Wall of Pause": Remember Francine's commercial? Well, here it is! And meet Griffin Silver's girlfriend, supermodel Nikki McQueen!

#57 "Snow White": Snow White, Terry Moore-style! A pregnant Snow White? And who is her Prince Charming? And don't forget the seven dwarves!

#58 "A flower to flame": Terry has done it again... This issue broke my heart. And is that you, agent Bryant? Great makeover! And Casey... What are you doing??

#59 "The last Noel": "This mask I wear" revisited. This is a powerful issue. It ties in nicely with the High School collection, volume 6. And we say goodbye to more than one character in this issue...

#60 "Goodbye": Fans of the series have been waiting for this issue for years. And Terry doesn't disappoint! WOW! Just WOW! This is heartbreakingly beautiful.. I couldn't recommend it more.

This volume also contains some bonus material, which Terry calls the "Behind the scenes at SiP". Like the working sketch for the cover for issue 60, script for the diner scene in issue 56, with additional dialogue. And a scene for issue 59 that didn't make it. The last page is the print of the Pittsburgh Comicon 10th Anniversary .
Hope this review has been helpful!

Tops for dog lovers........2006-09-14

This series is a wonderful series for those who love dogs and love to read mysteries. I happen to be one of those people. I don't have Malamutes, but I have two dogs - a Rottweiler and a Belgian Shepherd, and believe me I often see my dogs in things that Kimi and Rowdy do. I also like the series because Ms. Conant relates everything to dogs and to dog training. It is remarkable how valid this. In this book we also get a new character in Holly's young cousin Leah. I think we'll be seeing more of her. The book is about a murder that was at first not thought to be a murder, but Holly senses that someone did her friend Rose in. In her quest to find answers she runs across a truly disfunctional family. Trying to make sense of this family by comparing it to the dog world actually works for her, and she does manage to figure it out in the end. I'm lookimg forward to the next book now.

Cousin Leah Comes to Town.......2003-06-09

Overall, this book was a great addition to the series. Sometimes the book gets a bit too cerebral (especially in the dialogue with Kevin) but it is still a great read. The author chooses this book to take a stand on electronic collars (a.k.a shock collars), as she has with other topics in previous books. I would recommend this book as a part of the series.

The first book in this series is "A New Leash on Death". Enjoy!

Rowdy & Kimi at their best (& people of course!).......1998-04-22

Ms. Conant once again uses her ingenuity to solve yet another murder...with her walking advertisments for Eukanuba dog food! This is an interesting book with lots of depth. For mystery and critter lovers alike!

Cousin Leah Comes to Town..........2006-07-25

Holly Winter is at it again in the 4th book in the Dog Lover's Mystery series. Holly's cousin (or niece as she is sometimes called) comes to visit her for the summer, and takes over the training and trials of Kimi, the female Malamute. During her visit, a well-known retired teacher and fellow dog trial competitor gets electrocuted while working her poodle at night. At first it appears to be an accident, but when Holly starts digging, she learns that a lot of people had reasons to want this competitor out of the ring. Most of the characters (Steve, Rita, and Kevin in a very small part of the action) have returned but dearly missing in this book is Buck, Holly's father.

Overall, this book was a great addition to the series. Sometimes the book gets a bit too cerebral (especially in the dialogue with Kevin) but it is still a great read. The author chooses this book to take a stand on electronic collars (a.k.a shock collars), as she has with other topics in previous books. I would recommend this book as a part of the series.
