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.

Too much Hearsay.......2007-06-12

Chance favors the prepared mind, that holds true also for a visit to China, whether it be for business or pleasure.

Reading Mr. Saxon's book beats trying to ride the dragon without a safety net. However, the book seems to be more for entertainment purposes than any real "how-to" business guidance.

Apart from the excessive value judgments, some of the numbers seem to be rather out of proportion. Budgeting USD 500.000 as annual expense for a Representative Office is simply ridiculous. I personally am spending less than USD 40.000 for a very successful Rep Office in Beijing - great office location, commission based sales staff. Like Saxon, I am an M.B.A., but with a background in Sinology and 10 years of China experience.

Most of the advice on manufacturing is simply based on due diligence - which should be applied everywhere, not only in China.

Again, it's a good "Starbucks Read", but don't make it your "Business in China Bible".

Very Informative........2007-05-25

This is a very informative book. Realy a must read for anybody contemplating doing business in China.

A necessary read for anyone planning on doing business in China.......2007-03-28

I have done business in China and have logged quite a few trips there. I bought "An American's Guide to Doing Business in China" at an airport book store because I forgot to take reading material, so my expectations were not high.

Every chapter is a different theme, so each can be read independent of the chapter before or after it and lends itself to reading in any order you want. I started with the chapter on culture. Then I read the one on customs. Just those two chapters alone made the purchase worthwhile. Each topic is straight to the point, and clearly and simply explained. It put many events that I had experienced into sharper focus for me.

Then I went into some other short topics that proved to be amazingly useful. Read the section on how to avoid getting sick there.

One of the most relevant topics for me was the method of negotiating and related topics. The recommendations are very different than the methods I was taught, but they seem to work far better than standard methods.

There were also topics I had learned already and some that were not relevant to me. Several chapters I started and did not finish. However, this is one of the most informative books I have bought in a long time.

Americans' Guide to Doing Business in China.......2007-03-23

"I had been to China only once and was impressed enough with the potential there that I bought three books that seem to be the hottest on the market right now. I read the first one and it was interesting. I now know something about where the China of today came from - some history.

"An American's Guide" was the second book I read. Because of the way it was laid out, it was easy to pick the chapters that most interested me and read those first. I found the book easy to understand and straight to the point. I liked the style and the way it was presented. I went from one chapter to another. I ended up reading the whole thing. I got a lot out of it, it was enjoyable, and I really think I got the knowledge I was looking for out of it. I want to compliment the author for keeping the reader in mind.

I still have the third book I bought unopened, if anyone is interested."

"Starbucks Read" Only........2007-02-13

How can you guys rate this book "5 stars"???!!!
This is a good book for reading on your coffee breaks. I don't believe when the author wrote the book, he consulted with any of his Chinese business partners or friends. There are lots of things that are not true or out dated in the book. Don't get me wrong, this is still a good read for people who want to do business in China and don't know where to start.
However, instead of a "Business Guide", it should be renamed as "Introduction to Chinese Culture." From page 1 - 80 (out of a total 223 pages) it talks about Chinese Culture & Customs which we all can find it over the Internet or tons of other tour/daytrip books or from business partners or even the "Travel Channel!" From page 81 - 223, it DOES talk about things that you should watch out when you do business in China. Much to my disappointment, those things are only briefly explained with NO detail information, NO depth. For example: Chapter 8 (out of 15) of the book - Import/Export and Shipping Issues. This is something that all American company concerns/worries/pays attention about. A total of less than 8 pages with 1 table of Chinese Customs' contact information and that's it. You get the idea.
Since the author claimed that he has been doing business in China for "more than 20 years," a Stanford & Cornell graduate, then maybe he can tell us things that he encountered, problems that he had, solutions that he came up with, cases that he helped his clients. You think?! NOPE, none of that.
Buy this book from Amazon, pay $11 max. Used would even be better. I am being nice to give 3 stars.

Book Description

China's economy, despite recently weathered challenges, continues to prove attractive to foreign investors, expanding businesses, and entrepreneurs seeking global opportunities. This handbook has been written for anyone with an interest in doing business in China, including the consultants and specialists who work with global companies, but it is far more than an introduction to the Chinese market. Combining a deep knowledge of Chinese culture with her recent experience and continuing work with managers who do business in this sleeping economic superpower, the author brings out the nuances in everything she writes about, e.g., the distinctions among Chinese in income, target market, and geographic region. She demonstrates how Western notions of market segmentation, for example, may be fatally flawed when applied indiscriminately to the same demographically selected categories of Chinese consumers. Investing in China is not some "get rich quick" scheme. Only those who take the time to fully and thoroughly understand the Chinese market, and how that market is likely to interact with their products or services, will demonstrate the patience necessary to achieve success.

Great business guide for China.......2004-11-27

I have been living in China for years, working in textiles. After reading the book, I now much better understand many of the problems I had, and I wish I would have been able to purchase such a book earlier. It offers great examples of successful business practices and management in China, but also a broad range of pitfalls and mistakes and how to avoid. Particularly I like the lists and tips, which give helpful summaries for important topics.
This is a book I have been waiting for some time. A good summary of a complex topic, and highly recommendable for foreign managers that have to go to and work in China.
Merci!

Great Guide on China Business.......2004-11-22

A useful and down-to-business book on the new economic giant - China. The cultural, economic, social and managerial wealth which the book covers about business in China is professional, broad, and very applicable. I knew China is growing, but I did not know to which extent, why, or even how to participate. The author does not only describe the current situation in China, she also gives a very good insight into the mentality of Chinese, their business attitude, and how to face Chinese in countless day-to-day business situations. A very good introduction and also an excellent companion for any business trip to China, including for experienced China-travelers. The book is informative, detailed and captivating, and I recommend it for anyone interested in China. - far beyond the business.

This book explains the structure and outline of Hong Kong's equity markets, and examines Hong Kong's rising prominence (ranked sixth largest in the world) and importance as a financial centre in the region. It details the workings of the equity market system, covering the basics of all the major derivatives, and gives a brief overview of its other regional contemporary markets. Hong Kong's equity market has changed beyond all recognition over the last decade. The rise of China and East Asia has fuelled tremendous growth in this market. In the last two years alone, the market capitalisation of stocks traded in The Stock exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) has grown by almost 100%. This growth, reflecting both the appreciation of existing stock values and a flood of new listing, is expected to continue as the PRC develops in to a world economic power. The rising volumes of trading and recent flurry of 'H' share listings and other PRC-backed stocks, is also indicative of the PRC's commitment to establish Hong Kong as the centre of its financial system.
