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.

Under the Grapevine: A Miracle by Saint Kendeas of Cyprus is a picturebook for young readers recounting a Christian miracle that truly happened to the author's grandmother, Christina, when she was a young girl.

The emotional color paintings of illustrator Claire Brandenburg add a resplendent touch to this gentle story of faith in God, recommended for children ages four and up.

A beautifully written spiritual story for children and adults.......2007-02-16

Chrissy Hart has created a touching and uplifting story sure to touch the hearts of both children and sdults of all faiths. As an educator of elementary level students, I teach my students that stories which originate in their own experiences are the most powerful. In relaying the dream and miraculous healing of her grandmother, Chrissy speaks from her heart to ours, and the result is a powerful reminder that all things are possible for those who believe. Thank you Chrissy for this wonderful gift!

An inspiration to all, this book is a treasure that can be read over and over, always rekindling a spirit of hope and wonderment. The book's intriguing story and superb illustrations depicting the life of a devout Cypriot family richly deserve a five-star rating!

Reflections on Under the Grapevine.......2007-01-26

Chrissi Hart's new book is an excellent work which appeals to children and adults alike. It is well written with an engaging style that captures the reader's attention. The fact that the story is based on a true experience adds to the book's value. The illustrations are a beautiful complement to the writer's skillful presentation. I recommend Under the Grapevine!

A Miracle in our time.......2007-01-21

When reading about the lives of the saints, we often read that miracles continue to happen through the saints' intercessions, even after their deaths. This beautifully written and illustrated book brings to life the true story of one of these miracles. It conveys Christian piety, the faith of a child, and God's ability to work wonders that defy our understanding of time and space in a simple yet heart-warming and inspiring way. We highly recommend it!

Rebecca D. Turner author of "Tattoo" a business book, read it, grow your business, enjoy your life!!Tattoo

Great examples of advertising I like!.......2007-03-18

We all hate advertisements but some of them are quite clever and good.

Anyone remember the AFLAC Duck, the duck that would quack "AFLAC," an insurance company name? Or the woman washing her hair and having an orgasm? How about Continental Airline's ad for direct NYC to Tel Aviv flights - "Yo to Oy NONSTOP." The authors of this book are responsible for these and many other memorable adds.

Big Idea: The world is cluttered with advertisements and other noise and the best way to get your idea across is to create a "Big Bang," an idea that takes over the cultural universe, grabs the spotlight, and creates an icon.

Examples of Big Bangs are the iMac, "Just Do it," and The Apprentice.

To create a Big Bang you have to ignore conventional wisdom and rules and be willing to take risks. Big Bang ideas are simple, but selling Big Bang ideas to management or customers is hard - it requires theatrical flare. Big Bangs do not come out of focus groups or committees (actually, very little comes out of focus groups or committees!)

I'm not an advertising guy. I don't understand advertising. I don't like advertising. I like this book! Its written in a very readable and understandable style, and it was hard to put down.

Some great suggestions on nurturing creativity. I don't necessarily agree with them all, but I rarely expect to agree 100% with any authors and they provide good thinking points.

Examples:

Bureaucracy kills creativity (duh!).

Focus groups have a herd mentality and rarely produce anything exciting or great.

Be a micromanager - the details are crucial.

"we advocate procrastination" - They advocate it, I simply practice it :)

Don't have enough chairs when you have a meeting.

Go on an email diet.

This book is well worth reading. Their perspective on encouraging and nurturing creativity alone make it worthwhile, assuming you think creativity is good.

Don't laugh! Many people don't like creativity, although they probably would never admit it to themselves!

Bang!: Getting your message heard in a noisy world.......2007-02-15

Terrific and easy to read and very well constructed. Lots of great business advice for anyone in business or looking to start a business. I would recommend this book to CEO's, business owners and anyone holding a management role. There are lots of good examples and some that you can implement straight away. The authors have done a terrific job. I am recommending this book to all my clients.

Not for folks with minds that won't open, but..........2006-05-14

If you insist on being stuck in a rut for the rest of your life, thinking you know it all, going to team meetings, wasteing way too much time talking about things like how you should be thinking outside of the box, and not actually accomplishing anything, then this book is not for you...

I began marketing my products, with no marketing experience at all, and by reading books like this one when I run out of marketing ideas, have learned how to figure out how I could destroy THE BOX, burn THE BOX, put THE BOX'S ashes in a pickle jar, so I could carry THE BOX around with me while I promote my products, to create a buzz that is currently moving across America like a semi, with a budget so small that I sometimes have to count the change in my pocket to buy duct tape and clothesline...
