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.

A Handbook for Positive Self-Transformation.......2006-07-08

THE NEW PERSPECTIVE is a handbook containing pretty much the best advice anyone could ever hope to find regarding personal transformation... all in one slim gem of a book. Authors Ron and Denny Reynolds wrote a book based on four decades of their work assisting clients and learning a variety of practical techniques. While the ten tools for transformation included in THE NEW PERSPECTIVE will likely feel familiar to you, they are the essential keys to overcoming most all inner blocks and seeming barriers to you living the life you most wish to live.

The ten tools for transformation include: change beliefs to change reality, choose love instead of fear, your high self has your greater good in mind, what you resist persists, what you focus attention on expands, what you put out is what you get back -- so do what excites you most, be willing to take a leap of faith, the universe reflects you back to you, there's great power in this present moment, and we are all as one.

THE NEW PERSPECTIVE contains numerous exercises and examples of each topic, is well organized, and is written in a friendly style that feels like the authors are dear friends who are sharing the secrets they use to create the best possible lives for themselves.

I highly recommend this book to all seekers who genuinely wish to live a life that's full of love and prosperity on every level.

Excellent Book for Increasing Awareness.......2006-01-18

"What you are about to read is based on a theory that turns inside out most beliefs about how the universe works. It embraces the concept that consciousness is primary. We believe that consciousness creates physical reality and not the other way around, as most of us were taught." - From the book

Husband and wife team Ron and Denny Reynolds have teamed up to share the results of personal experiments conducted in the laboratory of life. In The New Perspective: Ten Tools for Self-Transformation, the authors share the questions they've asked of life and the amazing answers they've derived from spiritual masters, books, and arguably the most important of all sources: personal experience.

The ten tools for self-transformation provided by the authors are as follows:

1. Change your beliefs, change your reality - Your beliefs create your reality
2. Choose love and choose love again - There are only two forces in the universe: love and fear
3. The universe unfolds as it should 100% of the time - Your Higher Self always has your greater good in mind
4. Things you resist tend to persist - Your Higher Self will keep things on your agenda until you get it
5. Focus on what you have, rather than what you don't have - What you put your attention on expands
6. Do what excites you the most - What you put out is what you get back
7. Be willing to take a leap of faith - You only lose by the mount of doubt you have
8. Everything is a symbolic reflection - It's done with mirrors
9. The power is in the present moment - The only time there is...is Now
10. All is one...One is all - There is only one of us: God, Goddess, All That Is

The New Perspective: Ten Tools for Self-Transformation also provides guided visualizations as well as exploratory exercises and worksheets to help you ascertain unconscious beliefs, create new ones, and set intentions for your highest good. The authors also share powerful anecdotes illustrating how these tools can help you cope with unexpected loss, dashed expectations, and troubling addictions.

While the perspectives in this book echo wisdom found elsewhere (The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Loving What Is by Byron Katie, The Law of Attraction by Michael Losier, The Secret of the Shadow by Debbie Ford, What the Bleep Do We Know!?, A Course in Miracles and so on), it's nice to have such immediately helpful, profound wisdom encapsulated in one volume.

Written in an accessible, engaging style, The New Perspective: Ten Tools for Self-Transformation will empower you to release harmful beliefs, memories, and attachments, and create a life filled with love, harmony, peace, and abundance.

The New Perspective - inspiring & empowering.......2005-12-24

Ron & Denny Reynolds have put together an insightful, inspiring account of their uncovering of the awareness that consciousness is all there is...and of the implications for how this explains the life experiences we encounter. The authors provide practical self-empowerment tools based on clearly explained metaphysical concepts. With these tools and insights readers are empowered to appreciate their lives more fully and to become more open to the growth process that the mirror of perceived reality offers. Furthermore, the concepts needed to help readers learn to more consciously create their experienced reality are explained. Key personal growth exercises presented within the book's chapters are reprinted in an appendix for easy access. This book draws on the authors' own experiences combined with ideas from A Course in Miracles, channeled sources such as Bashar and Seth, and the modern physics paradigm of non-local consciousness and interconnectedness underlying all perceived reality. Prepare to release limiting beliefs and illusions of separateness as you join this couple on the timeless metaphysical journey of co-creation. While this book refers to the ideas presented as a "new" perspective, I would suggest that the perspective they share is really timeless. It just seems new when you've been operating from a different level of understanding before coming upon these concepts in your present life. In actuality, these metaphysical ideas have been present in spiritual and mystical traditions long before our present point in human history. In a society dominated by materialism and religious dogmas, the "new perspective" spiritual ideas are certainly new and refreshing to come upon.

Very worthwhile read.......2005-12-24

The New Perspective is a great little book and a very valuable contribution to field of spirituality and consciousness.

More and more people are awakening to the fact that there is more to reality than meets the eye. The physical reality that we perceive with our five senses is only one facet of what is, only one of the views available from the multifaceted prism of perception. Once we begin to explore the whole prism, we become aware that a broader set of rules is operating just beneath the surface of our ordinary reality. We become aware that we create our own reality through our consciousness and, through practice, we become aware that there are ways of navigating such consciousness and of mastering the creation process.

The New Perspective is a book that explores the process of becoming conscious perceivers and creators of ones life, shining light on the rules beneath the surface. The concepts on how to create a better life are explained very simply and effectively through highlighting ten principles/tools that anybody can easily experiment with, with just a little willingness to try something new. There are wonderful little exercises/processes for one to play with in each chapter, so that you can experience these new concepts for yourself, if you so wish.

The book is written in a very personal way by Ron and Denny, a husband and wife team, married for thirty odd years, blessed enough to have been able to share their journey of awakening together from the inception. The book is full of inspiring and very real anecdotes of what living a conscious life means, as Ron and Denny share interesting episodes from their life as a couple, as parents and as individuals on the path. As such the New Perspective is not only interesting and informational, but it is also inspirational. I was feeling a little down in the dumps before reading this book and by the time a got half way through it, I felt back in the driving seat of my life. I was reminded that if I do not like my current creation, I can change it, as I am not a victim of circumstance but a powerful creator. I was reminded that life is a game to play, where, with the right attitude and with a little help from Spirit, we can experience great fun, joy and adventure as we grow into more magnificence and beauty.

Thank you Ron and Denny for bringing forward so well this precious vibration.

Meaningful Addition to Your Library.......2005-11-05

The New Perspective-Ten Tools for Self-Transformation is a wonderful book to help guide you on a spiritual journey of life. Ron and Denny Reynolds have condensed over 40 years of their own spiritual growth into an easy to read and comprehend book. The ten tools are principles which help you co-create the life you want and deserve; rather than just being an observer and waiting for life to happen. The book helped me to fully appreciate that I am a spiritual being having a human experience. When I read the book the first time through, I felt as though they were talking directly to me. I'm reading it a second time to allow the message to sink in to a deeper level. I am truly grateful for the wisdom that Ron and Denny have shared. I love this book.

Book Description

This study combines an analysis of the argumentative complexities of Romans 1-8 with the presentation of modern theories of how meaning arises and functions. These theories (especially as represented by Umberto Eco) shed important light on two central questions raised by Paul's method: why does he reason so persistently about matters that depend ultimately on supernatural enlightenment, and why, where he does, are his arguments often so unclear and so hard to reduce to logical consistency? This book seeks to answer both questions.

Book Description

Roman Art in the Private Sphere presents an impressive case for the social and art historical importance of the paintings, mosaics, and sculptures that filled the private houses of the Roman elite. The six essays in this volume range from the first century B.C.E. to the fourth century C.E., and from the Italian peninsula to the Eastern Empire and North African provinces.

The essays treat works of art that belonged to every major Roman housing type: the single-family atrium houses and the insula apartment blocks in Italian cities, the dramatically sited villas of the Campanian coast and countryside, and the palatial mansions of late antique provincial aristocrats.

In a complementary fashion the essays consider domestic art in relation to questions of decorum, status, wealth, social privilege, and obligation. Patrons emerge as actively interested in the character of their surroundings; artists appear as responsive to the desire of their patrons. The evidence in private art of homosexual conduct in high society is also set forth.

Originality of subject matter, sophisticated appreciation of stylistic and compositional nuance, and philosophical perceptions of the relationship of humanity and nature are among the themes that the essays explore. Together they demonstrate that Roman domestic art must be viewed on its own terms.

"This is a stimulating book and should be compulsory reading for all students of Roman art."--Classical Review

"For all the authors, attention to the ensemble, a sense of the relation between the formal and the iconographic, and the desire to historicize their material contribute to making this anthology unusual in its rigorous and creative attention to the way that art and architecture participate in the construction of the image of the Roman elite." --Art Bulletin

This was a really interesting book and covered aspects of the New Testament period and early Christianity that usually is not considered adequately, namely the setting of the Roman Empire and what effects this might have had on Chrsitianity and the early Church. The book is thoughtful.

This book is very significant for Johannine studies!.......1998-09-19

This book is very significant for Johannine studies. As well as documenting telling connections between Johannine Christianity's religious commitments against their Roman backdrops, this book demolishes the naive view that because Roman persecution of Christians is not documented in Roman historical records until the third century one cannot infer the Roman empire was a source of hardship for Christians in the first and second centuries CE. Cassidy builds a convincing picture, based on the events between the reigns of Vespasian and Tatian, of what interactions with the empire may have been like for Mediterranean residents of the early Christian era. All it takes is some local enforcement of empirial clout for the Roman presence to have been experienced as problematic for Christians and Jews during this era.

Book Description

This book explores the role of music in an early fourteenth-century French manuscript. It sets the manuscript against the wider culture of Parisian book-making, showing how in devising new systems of design and folio layout, its creators developed a new kind of materiality in music. It also illustrates how music is expressive in ways that are unperformable apart from its visual representation, and argues that the new attitudes to material music making embodied in the manuscript serve as a model for exploring other music manuscripts to emerge in late medieval France.
