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.

Book Description

"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the base
Only sentries were stirring--they guarded the place.
The soldiers were sleeping and snoring away
As they dreamed of 'back home' on good Christmas Day..."

One Christmas Eve at a military barracks in the Middle East, some homesick soldiers are paid a visit by Sergeant McClaus, the Santa of Soldiers. This lively and poignant tale is inspired by Clement C. Moore's classic yuletide poem.

The Soldiers' Night Before Christmas.......2007-02-08

LOVE IT!!! I actually had tears in my eyes while reading this! I can't wait until next year when I can start reading it on Christmas Eve to my little Army Brat! Great story, great pictures, very very nice.

AWESOME.......2007-01-19

AWESOME book. My husband is currently serving in Iraq and it was a very difficult Christmas for all of us. I bought multiple copies of the book. I kept one for myself, each of my children have one and I sent 2 copies to Iraq for my husband to share with his fellow soldiers. We all loved the book. I read it to my 12 and 13 year old children on Cristmas Eve before they went to bed and it helped bring us together. My husband was a little like SGT McClaus for his section. thank you for once again putting out another wonderful book.

A soldier's observation of this wonder.......2006-12-10

One Christmas eve in the desert a group of homesick soldiers are visited by the Santa of Soldiers, and in a fine realistic rhyme inspired by the classic 'Night Before Christmas' comes a soldier's observation of this wonder, which will intrigue and comfort military families separated by war. There's a decidedly different holiday atmosphere here: "When what to my thrill and relief should appear, but one of our Blackhawks to give the all clear: more rattles and rumbles! I heard a deep while, then up drove eight Humvees, a jeep close behind...each vehicle painted a bright Christmas green with more lights and gold tinsel than I'd ever seen."

GREAT for kids with deployed parents!.......2006-12-06

I was given this book as a gift for my daughter and we just LOVE it!! She calls it her "Papi" book. My husband is currently deployed for the second time to Iraq, and this time our 3 year old realizes he is gone, so with this book it gives her a different insite about what Christmas is for him and that Santa wont forget him while he is there!! I have reccomended this to all of my friends that are in the military with kids and I even have it up on our Family Readiness Group website so everyone can find out about it!!!

Quick and entertaining take on Christmas in the Civil War.......2007-03-08

This book revolves around the people who participated in the 1862 Civil War battle "The Battle of Stones River", fought near Murfreeboro, Tennessee just after Christmas. It is not at all an account of the battle itself.

The author uses mostly excerpts from letters and autobiographies from participants to illustrate how Christmas 1862 felt to the people involved in this particular battle. There are Christmas poems from papers of the day, popular song lyrics, letters to and from home, and biographical information about various people involved.

There are no complete accounts of the battle but only descriptions of part of the battle that allow the reader to develop a context in which to place these events; so if you are looking for a military account on the Battle of Stones River, this is not the book to read.

The story of the Generals and Privates that are covered here are poignant. There are several accounts of participants who foresaw their death. There are a number of accounts of merciful treatment from enemy combatants. I found these accounts the most intriguing. The story of the 2 opposing armies singing together "Home, Sweet Home" on the eve of battle is probably the climax of the book.

The author also includes material on the nature of Christmas in 1862 and gives an excellent history of the evolution of this holiday and explanations of why it is the way it is. This was excellent material and fascinating.

Overall, a very enjoyable account of the juxtaposition of religious observances and the horror of war. Definitely worth a read.

Short, but fantastic!.......2006-11-05

***** This is a small book that was actually released in 2005. Now, in 2006, it is being reprinted in a small paperback for more people to discover and enjoy. The story takes readers back in history, to the Civil War. Through the eyes of soldiers' letters (Union and Confederate) comes a true tale of a Christmas miracle. It will not take you long to read the story since it is less than two hundred pages, but it is a book that you will find yourself reading more than once. Full of joy, sorrow, compassion, and courage, this is a story you will never forget. *****

A poignant story of the Christmas of 1862........2006-06-23

An interesting little book about the Christmas of 1862 and the Battle of Stones River fought near Murfreeboro, Tennessee a few days later. The book traces the recent increase in popularity of Christmas in America, the steady decline in morale among soldiers on both sides during 1862, and how this led to a particularly poignant moment of comraderie on the eve of the battle. Very much enjoyed reading this book. A great stocking stuffer for the Civil War buff.

In Heavenly Peace.......2006-02-20

I read this on Christmas Eve with tears in my eyes. Even if you aren't interested in Civil War history, you might like this book just for what it tells us about Christmas customs in an age way before Santa Claus became a Christmas staple. (For a Canadian version of these matters, check out Derek McCormack's magnificent CHRISTMAS DAYS for a refresher course.)

From the buoyant spirits of the North and South during Christmas 1861, to the privations and agonies of Christmas 1862, is a dramatic reflection of the larger picture of the war. Soldiers in the previous Christmas still had gift packages from home, but by the very next year mail service had become erratic where it existed at all, and nothing was safe in the mail. A single turkey cost nearly 30 dollars, enough to rent an entire home for six months! There was inflation like that found in Berlin after World War I. And the suffering of the soldiers is unbelievable. Having to eat hard tack laced with worms is ghastly.

McIvor's research is terrific, and he seems to have been everywhere at once, in the research libraries of dozens of universities and private collections, gathering and sifting a mass of undifferentiated and miscellaneous dross and sifting out all but the most telling anecdotes. The only thing I didn't really like was the title, which just seems forced. I remember the old carol, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," but to switch it to "Soldiers," I shake my head with distaste, murmuring, nix on that.

Informative read of Civil War Christmas.......2006-01-07

The book was well written. It is a short and easy to read book. The book contains a lot of letters from soldiers to their families at Christmas. They picture in their minds the good times they had at Christmas past, and yearning to be home, and the end to this miserable war. Soldiers were shot as they tried to sneak away from their unit, just to go home and see their family one more time at Christmas. The book is worth reading year round.

Capturing the Child in All of Us.......2002-10-12

As author of THE LITTLE TOY SOLDIER ON THE COVERED BRIDGE,I'd suggest that it is most suitable for those with unfettered imaginations disposed to flights of Christmas fancy, particularly for ages 12-97. Betsy Johnson wrote: "This story captures the child in all of us." TOY SOLDIER is a fantasy, a vehicle of imagination that allows one to experience Christmas from the inside out. It acknowledges the mysterious dynamic of transcending, which usually occurs wittingly or unwittingly during the Christmas season, when many of us imagine entering one of numerous miniature Christmas villages set up in our living room or on the fireplace mantel. TOY SOLDIER is a Christmas tale about three children, a toy soldier and a dog who enter one such village (the New England Village of Duxbury) in search of a lost boy (Little Boy Blue). In their extensive odyssey, the Little Company faces Nature's winter ferocity, experiences a series of extraordinary adventures, and meets unusual characters who inhabit this fantastical account of Christmas happenings in the miniature village of Duxbury Sea Town. My fondest hope is that, as you read the story, you will insert yourself into Christmas and experience it from the inside out . . . lest I remain the only gray-haired "child" lost in flights of fantasy during the Christmas season, this "hallow'd and gracious time."

Takes young readers on an exciting adventure.......2001-08-17

In The Little Toy Soldier On The Covered Bridge: A Christmas Encounter In The Miniature New England Village Of Duxbury, author Coolidge Wilson takes his young readers on an exciting adventure in a tale of three young children, a toy solider, and a toy dog who are all transported to the miniature village of Duxbury Sea Town. There they search for a lost boy and encounter a host of unusual and memorable characters along the way. The Little Toy Soldier On The Covered Bridge is a welcome and highly recommended addition to the growing library of classic Christmas literature with its underlying message that grace and faith live within us all -- and sometimes revealing itself in rusted tin toys and floppy-eared dogs!

three exciting well-written military romance novellas .......2004-10-27

"I'll Be Home" by Rachel Lee. SEAL Seth drives to Conard City, Wyoming where his former wife resides because his mother Marge asked him to spend the holidays with her. At his parents' home, Seth meets schoolteacher Maria. They hit it off from the start, but Seth knows the life of a SEAL is almost as hard on a spouse so he fears anything beyond the holidays though Maria wants that and many future seasons of cheer with him.

"A Bridge for Christmas" by Merline Lovelace. USAF reservist on active duty Captain Abigail, her combat engineering unit and "hardheaded" pilot Major Dan prepare for the special operations detachment that will follow them into the remote Taurus Mountains. The war ravaged abandoned village has left behind only Father Dominic and his orphans. As Abby and Dan bang heads, they must rescue a young girl isolated on the other side of the river with a broken Roman bridge not connecting the two embankments, but soon connecting two hearts.

"The Wingman's Angel" by Catherine Mann. Josh and Alicia are close to finalizing their divorce as the two soldiers were unable to maintain a duel military lifestyle. Before the Lieutenant Colonel and his Captain wife end their marriage; they are on a cold region training exercise in the frozen Alaskan tundra. As they work together, they stumble upon a uranium mining excavation with killers in pursuit of the beleaguered duo.

The three exciting well-written military romance novellas showcase problems and real sacrifice (not politician lip service) confronting individuals dedicated to keeping our nation safe while maintaining relationships that suffer when one is away for long periods.
