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 classic of the field.......2006-09-30

Despite debate, if one approaches this book with an open mind, one finds alot of evidence supporting the idea of Celtic Shamanism. This is a remarkable cross cultural survey as well of shamanism. It's well researched and presented. I love it so much, I am on my third copy. It's a classic of this admittedly narrow field.

More history than instructional..........2006-08-18

...but that doesn't mean that this isn't a top notch book. I found it to be an exceptional source of information about shamanism in general and celtic shamanic beliefs in particular. I highly recommended it to all with an interest in such subjects. IF, however, you are looking for a "how to" book, this is not what you are looking for.

The Metaphor in the Humanity.......2005-04-01

On my shelf of shamanic titles, this one sits prominently figured. Cowan presents the traditional fantastic experiences of the shaman in an amazingly perceivable framework. His depiction of archetypes in well-known myths and legends opens one to the ability to read all things symbolically, thus, as the dynamic spiritual presences that they are. His telling of olde tales connects their spirit with a modern audience.

Packed!.......2004-06-04

Lots of good solid information here. I must admit I like his writing style as well. Excellent material, well presented!

Wonderful intro to Celtic mysticism.......2003-08-29

I first became interested in shamanism after reading books by core-shamanic practioners Michael Harner and Sandra Ingerman. While these books described a way of relating to and healing with the natural world that I have always longed for, my heart yearned for a practice more connected with my long-forgotten European ancestry. Soon I found this book, which addresses the issues of recovering native European Celtic traditions. I agree that it's a wonderful introduction to Celtic mysticism and spirituality. Cowan covers a wide variety of topics to "pull" from and trigger remembrance. Regarding the witchcraft issue, black and white magic has been a part of every native tradition since the beginning of time. Certainly the inappropriate use of magic figures prominently in our collective soul wounds, and needs to be considered.

very compelling Roman Britain saga.......2007-08-31

Celtic Fire is a refreshing change of pace from the normal historical periods you often see. Set in 116 AD in Roman Britain, Nash skillfully weaves a tale of a Roman warrior, Lucius, and the Celtic Queen, Rhiannon, and conjures a Paranormal Historical that hits target. Lucius comes to learn about the death of his brother, but finds love with the slave Rhiannon. The conflict between the conquering race and the Celts, the fact Lucius blames the Celts for his brother's death, provides a strong conflict to counter balance the leads instant attraction.

The characters are vivid, the story compelling, and written by an author with a love for her subject.

Nash's debut book strikes a note that says she is here to stay.

A wonderful historical romance in ancient Ireland.......2005-08-30

Joy Nash's debut book for Dorchester shows the talent she has developed over the past few years in the small press arena.

Rhiannon, hidden queen of the Celts, desires to free her people from the invading Romans, but with as little bloodshed as possible. She longs to unite the clans and reach peace in their land, as soon as they can be rid of the Romans. When their powerful Druid Priest sacrifices one of the Romans to the horned god, she knows danger will draw even nearer as the invaders won't stand for such things.

Lucius Aquila does not believe the reports of his brother Aulus' demise, as they don't ring true; especially in light of the fact his brother's ghost is haunting him. When he travels north to investigate, he is caught by surprise at the strength and cunning of an attack by the native people, and is even more shocked to find that his captive is a vivacious young beauty with enough passion to set him afire.

Rhiannon and Lucius are attracted to each other from the first, but much stands in the way for them. Lucius begins to suspect that she has dark powers when he realizes that only she can free him from the agony of Aulus' spectral form, which has grown stronger and more troubling since coming north. Rhiannon is being commanded to lure him into her snare so her people can finish their rites to the horned god. What they don't realize is that their love can bring them salvation and maybe even peace between their people. Will they figure it out before it's too late?

Here is an intriguing premise for a romance, taking place in a time not often featured in this genre. Fans of the paranormal subgenre will love the plot line of Aulus' ghost. This reviewer liked Ms. Nash's own spin on the idea of ghosts and the way this character changed throughout the story line, with a shock to come in the climactic battle scene towards the end of the novel.

Rhiannon's character was interesting in how she was drawn. She is a very strong woman, with some special skills and abilities that come into play several times in the story. For as strong as she is, the author stayed true to the times with Rhiannon, who even though she is a queen in her own right, her people don't respect her as much as they will when she chooses her king. She has many internal battles to face as she longs to do what is right for her people, without compromising her heart and wisdom. She has a deep well of love to share, as can be evidenced in her relationship with her brother, Owein, and Lucius' young son Marcus, as well as in her passion for Lucius. It is also interesting to learn of her ancestress' history and how that permanently affected the clans. Rhiannon wants to be strong and brave as her grandmother was, but without endangering her people.

Lucius' character is vividly portrayed, as are his internal battles. He longs to get to the bottom of the mystery of his brother's death, so as to allow his spirit eternal rest. He knows his duty to his land, and knows what he must do, as much as he wishes he could have a different life. One will like seeing how he grows and changes throughout the story, with the evidence of them being found in the relationship he has with his son.

One very well done plot device was the use of religion to progress the story line. The pagan beliefs of the Celts, and their need for sacrifices, is crucial to the story, as is the lesson some learn about how power gained can corrupt a person. It was interesting to see the differences between the beliefs of the Romans and those of the Celts, and how their beliefs lead them on their chosen paths, as well as how they all come to terms with their faiths and how it affects them, in the end of the story.

Joy Nash is definitely one to be watched. She has great world building skills, and her own personal magic with the pen is guaranteed to make hers a very strong name on the market in the not too distant future.

Fired me up.......2005-06-29

Well, this was a pretty good book. When I got it I had no idea what to expect. Having never read this author, I was iffy. When a book has more then one element, it has to be done perfectly for the correct balance between the elements. Not alot of authors can do that to the readers satisfaction. This being a paranormal romance I thought was very good. The romance was great and the paranormal was not so off base that you had to talk yourself into believing it. It was a nice mix that did wonderful things for the book. This was a really good story. I would recommend it for a nice relaxing read to get lost in. Very enjoyable.

Wow!!.......2005-06-05

Lucius is a Roman army commander who comes to Brittania to investigate his brother's fate. He strongly suspects his brother has been killed by the Celts, because he sees his ghost everywhere.

Rhiannon is the descendent of a Celtic queen who witnessed the death of Lucius's brother at the hand of a Druid priest. When Lucius captures her, he realizes that only when he's in Rhiannon's presence does his brother's ghost leave him alone.

Full of magic, suspense and a scorching love story, this book had me from the first page. I absolutely loved it, and can't wait for more by Joy Nash.

Great read!.......2005-06-05

Great story, well written.
It's refreshing to read a historical set in a time period other than the 1700-1800's. I was caught up in the story of Lucius and Rhiannon from the first page, and the brother's ghost, while not a major paranormal element, is integral to the story and adds a humorous touch.
I only hope there's a sequel coming!

Desperate to protect the woman he loves, Evan finds that the biggest secret of all could wind up costing the ultimate price.

a sequel of surprises.......2007-05-28

Ms. Johnson has written a great followup to Dragon & Hawk, the continuing story of Evan and Reyna is poignant and then heart pounding. Her writing once again of the desert is so beautiful but also of old San Diego makes you feel like you can smell the ocean and feel the sand. The tri-lingual dialects is really defines and enhances who the characters are and represents the blending of immigrants in the west, in the US. It's hard sometimes to be privy to the characters thoughts and what they are not expressing to each other but its such a human trait in our relationships.
There are several plot twists, I was surprised many times, with this very original story. I worried for some characters and was heart broken for others. This is really good writing, great story telling, I hope she is not done.

Nicely done!.......2007-03-13

I picked up this book because I'd just moved to Tucson and thought it would be an easy way to learn some history about my new home. The hero is a Welsh immigrant married to a Mexican woman, living in the 19th century. He moaned. . .she moaned. . .I moaned. Oh no, it's a romance novel! I thought. I hate romance novels. But this one is really well written, with lots of wonderful research into the time and place. Just enough dialect without being hard to read. Most importantly, the characters are not stupid! The villain is altogether too villanous for my taste, but that's OK, it fits the genre. I'm a little embarrassed to say I got totally sucked into the boy gets girl, boy loses girl. . .but I don't want to spoil it for you. If you like historical romance, read this. It's good enough to have been published by a larger press.
