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.

Book Description

Precise Machine is a collection of poetic fictions that swell with simultaneous dimensions. The pieces take us around the globe and through history in an epic of moments large and small: a bike's flat tire, a teenage comeuppance, an Italian city destroyed by plague. The prose seduces and derails, then ensnares again. Barone invites us at once to inhabit his stories and retreat to the periphery to query how experience itself is recorded, catalogued and remembered. Infused not with certitude but with the far more human condition of ambivalence, these fictions are parables that do not patronize.

Very Nice.......2003-08-06

I felt that this book was an excellent work in the non-traditional fantasy genre. It bestows the feeling of a medieval fantasy--at the same time interweaving a fairly unique storyline. The book may seem a bit cliche if the reader had not read the first book "Fire Get" but is a qualty work into, and of, itself. I hope that the author continues her writing and produces stories of simiar excellence.

One World's Science is Another World's Magic.......2007-09-20

This is a rainy day favorite. A long-time hard scifi fan, I also enjoy scifi with fantasy leanings, if I think it's well done (and doesn't lean too far!). I loved this variation on the clash of two civilizations existing in different dimensions. A network of worlds based on science; Serii, a no-tech world based on magic; the tangling, and eventual conflict between the two.

In this book, Quin Hamly, a sorcerer, infiltrates the high-tech worlds of Network to locate the family of two Network refugees that escaped to Serii. He must also assess the threat that Network may pose to his home world. The author has written other books in the Network/Consortium setting, but this is the third involving two of the main characters and my personal favorites, Rhianna and Kaedric.

Quin is guided and monitored by Rhianna, the "Infortiare", by tradition, an office occupied by the most powerful sorcerer currently living. They are "aided" by Kaedric, Rhianna's husband and the most powerful and dangerous sorcerer not-quite-living; a former Infortiare until his "death". Meanwhile, Rhianna is also dealing with dissent among the wizard rank and file. The wizards, a notoriously fractious and uncooperative group, are the planet's primary line of defense against a possible Network threat.

Truthfully, my favorite parts of this book take place on Serii and when it focuses on the relationship between Rhianna and Kaedric. While not THE main characters, their story and personalities had more appeal for me, while Quin and Katerin weren't quite as compelling; even a tad annoying at times. I also enjoyed the unusual twist on Serii's origins. And so the FOUR stars. An excellent read. I enjoyed it immensely and I do recommend it.

I've read this book fifty times!.......1999-01-04

This novel follows the life of the immortal wizard Quine Hambly from the age of two until he becomes an emisary (spy) to the high tech civilization that created his race. I can't begin to tell you how much I like this book. It has everything. From sword and sorcery adventure, to intruige and high tech espianage. Can sorcery overcome science? Or will it simply master science and keep going?

I won't say it's the best thing I've ever read,.......2003-03-13

but I've stayed up a few nights with it, just the same.

This is one of those books that you're better off with if you can find a musty, well-loved copy. It just lends itself to that old-fashioned smell. It's a beautifully simple story about dark sorcery, good guys fighting bad guys, and improbable romance.

The characters are great, better than I expected to find in a book like this. Rhianna is a willowy girl who holds powerful magic locked within her. But instead of being a helpless damsel who erupts in fire at the last minute, she turns out to be practical, clever enough to fend for herself, and emotionally strong. I don't think she ever even gets taken hostage.

Instead, Kaedric does all the erupting in fire. Tall, dark, intimidating, brooding, Kaedric is a throwback to the days of the Wizard Kings, sorcerers so powerful they shaped the very earth to their whims. Kaedric broods so much that he seems to be more of a shadow cast across the story than an actual character half the time. But at least he doesn't brood in an annoying way. He's got a bit of a dark streak in his personality too, which lends a bit of depth to the storyline.

He's on a quest, she wants freedom from an oppressive family life. They manage to meet somewhere in the middle and (this actually is a shock) fall for each other.

In the meantime, of course, the world is being threatened by an evil wizard, and naturally it takes the both of them to stop it. Simple plot, interesting story. It's not cluttered up by plot twists or moralizing; if you're looking for those then head elsewhere. What you'll find here is good old-fashioned quests and wizardry, some nice explosions, a touch of darkness, a brooding hero and a resilient young heroine. And really, what more do you need?

Well, and maybe there're one or two twists after all.

I have yet to read better.......2001-02-11

Cheryl J. Franklin is the BEST author in reality. Her books are complex yet comprehendable. Somehow she manages to edit the possibilities and impossibilities. Reading her books allow you to leave the real world behind. Whoever put this book out of print needs a brain transplant. She takes an old topic- a noble-blooded girl with an ogreish father and a dead mother runs away from an unsatisfactory marraige and has adventures concerning the fate of all she holds dear, and finds a love along the way- and makes it original; uncontaminated. My mother bought an old copy from a library for 25 cents and gave it to me. I, at the time was reading the same Frank Herbert and Tamora Pierce(I'm 12 yrs old, but don't let that bias you) books over and over again, I was so hungry for a good book. I looked at, eventually decided that there should be some sense in the saying, "you can't judge a book by it's cover" and read it. It was amazing: the best book I have ever read (trust me, I have read a LOT of books, and none have come near to rivaling this one, although some of Franklin's other books...).Kaedric, Rhianna's love,is a hero in his own right, not just someone she beds, which is a nice change. This is a book you can read over and over, and it get's better every time.

If there was a god, Franklin I worship you for this one!!!!.......1997-11-12

Fire Get is a work of art, which, even now can hold a person spellbound. Franklin's descriptive use of words creates for a the reader a world so powerful and full of magic, sorcerors and adventure. Kaedric, our hero cum villain is a man who, quite frankly I would LOVE to meet, and Rhianna the heroine is a credit to the female; she has the strength to capture the love of a man so complex as Kaedric.

Like an embroiderer Franklin threads a story so compelling... combining romance, danger, fun and adventure so expertly it takes your breath away to read the result.
