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.

Not for Beginners But Good for Reference.......2006-06-23

**The following is from the back of the book, I DID NOT write it**

This book is an updated, omnibus edition, bringing together the sevel titles which previously formed The British Horse Society Manual of Stable Management. (The Horse, Care of the Horse, The Horse at Grass, saddlery, specialist Care of the Competition Horse, The Stable Yard, Watering and Feeding).

Essential reading for students taking the British Horse Society examinations - invaluable to amateurs and professionals alike

Compiled by a panel of experts, this book offers career students and horse owners a comprehensive guide to the care and management of horses and ponies.

Previously published as a series of seven books, the new BHS Complete Manual of Stable Management brings together all seven volumes, conveniently providing a single source of reference. This all-in-one volume has been fully revised and updated to bring it into line with current thinking in the horse world.

Filled with reliable information and advice on modern stable management practices, the book provides a sound foundation for Horse Knowledge and Care Stages 1 to 4 and the BHS Stable Manager's Certificate.

Throughout, the emphasis is on the adoption of correct and safe procedures for the welfare of all who come into contact with horses, as well as for the animals themselves.
*******
My Review: I think that this book has a lot of very good information, certainly the most comprehensive guide on the market that I have found on all things "horse care." I do not believe that a beginner or person lacking a good amount of horse world experience would have the best of luck with it though.

This hefty book had excellent text but not enough pictures to illustrate its procedures and advice. As an example, the adjustment of a bridle and use of different bits. A person with experience can read the text and understand what the book is talking about but I honestly think that a beginner would have been completely lost. The book mentions different bits but does not have them illustrated - which I consider essential for them to be able to differentiate in the descriptions.

Needless to restate, it is not a waste of money. This book is cutting-edge in British horse care and does cover much of the dismounted material that is seen in the BHS Horsemastership (Stages) examinations. I can easily picture an experienced horseperson keeping this as a reference and often using it. I also think it would be a good addition to a public library because of the sheer volume of material it contains.

For beginners I would recommend starting with books by Cherry Hill such as her "Horse Handling & Grooming" or "Horse Health Care" books.

Book Description

Breeding and exhibiting poultry is not only part of a long tradition but also serves to maintain the pure breeds necessary for the development of commercial hybrid strains. The demand for uniformity in type and coloration of the various breeds led to the authorisation of standards of excellence, under the guardianship of the Poultry Club of Great Britain. British Poultry Standards is the official reference to all the recognised Poultry Standards in Great Britain: it contains complete specifications together with judging points for all the standardised breeds and varieties. The new edition - the first since 1982 - is in full colour throughout, with over 200 colour photographs.

Cuddleton Kitties Review of a Brit Book.......2006-06-17

As a British Shorthair breeder I think I wanted more. It has a lot of good general cat info but not much British Shorthair specifics.
The pictures were cute and the general info good but it left me wanting more.

Great, but there is still room for a better book........2000-07-22

This is a nice introduction to the British Shorthair "at a glance". High points include a number of nice color pictures, a good description of the breed, and great instructions on care and feeding.

For those looking for more in-depth knowledge like breed genetics, what colors are commonly available (and why) and where you can get them, show histories, etc... the book fill fall a bit "short". Still highly recommended for anyone interested in Brits though because let's face it, one can never have enough British Shorthair info.

A Beautiful Book on a Beautiful Breed.......2000-07-01

This is a fantastic book, absolutely FULL of useful, interesting & informative information - it even includes instructions on how to build your cat's own scratching post! Lessmeier's book is a wonderful treat for lovers of the British Shorthair & it eased my wait until 'Shmoo', our British shorthair arrived.

Highly recommended for every fan of British Shorthair.......1999-05-06

You'll find the book colorful and concise, with much helpful information for you to understand and take care your lovely fur ball - British Shorthair. I just love it! :)

A welcome little paperback on the Brit.with great photos........1999-01-20

This 64-page paperback is the first publication I've ever found on the British Shorthair, and is a perfect introduction to this beautiful breed of cat. Given the book's brevity, it responsibly addresses an ambitious range of topics specific to the Brit. from a professional breeder's perspective. The book also features many stunning color photos of British Shorthair kittens and cats---these photos alone are worth the small price of the book! I recommend this book to breeders as well as to all fans of British Shorthairs, the teddy bears of the cat world.

Excellent.......2007-06-02

As always. I've been using Lonely Planet Guides from time ago and I think that they are one of the best (if not the best) travel guides you can afford.

Don't leave home without it!.......2003-06-02

Just returned from the Czech & Slovak Republics and found this book invaluable. Excellent, correct descriptions of localities. Useful to those of us who drove the country and trained too. The mini phrase section is all you need, so don't buy a separate phrasebook. Those going to Prague should also buy the DK travel guide for that city which is excellent and colorful.

Excellent guide.......2001-08-07

Sadly, I ran out of time to explore the Slovak Republic, something I hope to do the next time I go into Eastern Europe. So I can only attest to the Czech republic portion of this book. I found it extremely useful, especially in planning my trips outside of Prague, though it does contain a good portion about Prague. One of the best suggestions was to include a visit to Litomerice after the somber tour of Terezin. I didn't take the advice on booking ahead on my trip to Cesky Krumlov and spent about an hour finding a place to stay and I went late May. Not speaking any Czech beyond hello and thank you, I had a lot of trouble with the Czech train system, especially outside of Prague. I found the bus system to be better than the Czech train system since you could buy a ticket on the bus as you boarded and the bus drivers were friendlier to me than the ladies at the ticket windows at the Main Train station in Prague and in Cesky Budjovice (where my train to Cesky Krumlov was early and I didn't understand when it showed up, so I took a bus instead) Either way, it is extremely inexpensive to travel around the country, so at the very least take a few day trips outside of Prague, if not longer trips. I was lucky this new edition came out months before my trip. Another great guidebook by Lonely Planet. As for an earlier review, Prague Castle counts as a museum, so its closed on Mondays.

Good book for Prague.......2001-05-09

I bought this book because I couldn't find the Prague book in time (I live in France). Plus I like more of a country history instead of just city history. As an experienced traveler, I can say that overall this book is good. It's hotel suggestions must have been good because they were all full. The maps were very nice. The restaurant suggestions were great. Only a few complaints: It didn't tell us that the castles are closed on Mondays (we found out when we saw the big CLOSED sign on the castle). Also there is not much info on tipping. The book said 5-10% yet EVERY restaurant added at least 20%. I got the impression the book hadn't been really updated since the previous version.

Don`t go without it.......2000-07-22

It is a pity that Lonely Planet didn`t updated this books inthe last 2 years. Czech and Slovakia are beautiful countries, easy to visit, but not very stable since the end of the Communism. Places there change more than in, say, Norway, so you'll find some wrong adress or tips on that book. However, it is a great book, that cover a lot of small towns and nature reserves that are outlooked at the other guides. I was very satisfied during my trip, specially with the Slovakia chapter. If you are going to see more than Prague, you should have it.
