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.

I like this book, because when I read it aloud to my Spanish classes, I know the students sitting closest to me are most likely following the English with their eyes, and learning new vocabulary words because of it.

The pictures are vibrant, and for a translated text, the story flows well. Great way to introduce adjectives to students of various ages, or to build on a workbook curriculum like Flip Flop Spanish.

This is a whimsical book that kids really 'get'. P.D. Eastman's illustrations are wonderful as always, and each page has subtle fun touches that you might not catch the first time; rereading the book is not a chore for adults. The side-by-side upbeat Spanish and English text makes a great primer.

It's wintertime, and Little Dog is snug in his red doggy sweater. Big Dog wants a sweater, too. Where will they find one? In a dresser drawer, of course! The two lovable canines find more adventure in this newest addition to the heartwarming board book series.

Customer Reviews:

A Sweet, Simple Tale .......2006-07-30

I'm glad I've resumed looking at some board books lately, otherwise I would not have known that Dav PIlkey has a whole series of "BIg DOg and Little Dog" books. FOr the slightly older reader (and their parents, teachers, or guardians), Pilkey is the very, very funny, but scatologically inclined author of the "Captain Underpants" series. These ppurposefully amateur forays into elementary- and middle school-age comedic sensibilities (underwear, toilets, etc.) are more clever than they sound, but probably not what I'd want to read to someone around 2 years old. They have enough toilet concerns without worrying about them exploding.

Big DOg and Little Dog is a mere 14 pages long, but it conveys a nice message about helping others, feeling their feelings, and how one might enjoy what one has when your buddy can enjoy it too. It's especially effective because the dogs's sizes are quite different, but they obviously are great friends anyway. Little Dog has a sweater, but Big Dog doesn't, and this makes him sad. He begins runnaging through a drawer, and Little Dog helps him. (ABove the dresser, there's a cute framed photo pof the two dogs with the woman they live with). After messing up the dresser (a good laugh here), Big DOg finda nice green argyle sweater, Little Dog inexplicably comes away with a sock in his mouth! Big DOg struggles to put on the Big Sweater, and Little Dog "is helping some more." The last pictures are great examples of what the lawyers often call "res ipsa loquitur"--"the thing speaks for itself." Now that each dog has a sweater to call his (or her) own, they cuddle together in front of the fireplace, each "warm and happy." Big, clear, and uncluttered illustrations make this an easy and appealing read. However, it's a pretty simple story, so I recommend it for a very young audience.

Big Dog and Little Dog Wearing Sweaters.......2001-07-24

This is a very cute book about one dog helping another dog. My one year old really enjoyed the simple pictures of the dogs. The book teaches the concept of big and small and is a great example of friendship.

My favorite children's book.......2007-08-09

I was an early reader. I started reading books by myself at the age of 2. The Poky Little Puppy was one of my favorite stories as a child. I must have read this book tens of times... even though I had moved on to longer, more intricate stories. The morals of the story still ring true today.
I will be purchasing a new copy of this book for my baby once s/he is born. I intend to start reading the book to the baby right away. :)

A cheeky little poky puppy.......2007-06-19

I recently revisited this little golden book, a favourite story of mine as a child, I bought it to read to my daughter.
I find it to be an odd story, about a cheeky, puppy who tricks his siblings out of their dessert two nights in a row. He get's his just desserts (excuse the pun) in the end.
Really odd, but cute story, hasn't lost it's appeal.

Children's Story Telling at it's Finest.......2007-04-14

The whimsical way in which this beautiful book was written has been copied many times but it is still fresh as ever at each repeated reading.
The tumbling sentences perfectly describe the movements of the five little puppies and they traipse "down the road, over the bridge, across the green grass, and up the hill, one after the other." One of the original twelve Golden Books, this classic will likely never go out of print, there will most likely be a fresh hole dug under the fence EVERY morning, and all the puppies eventually get to eat dessert like Poky.

An excellent learning (and bedtime) book........2007-02-11

My little girl loves this story, it's a simple, easy to understand yet entertaining story. I also found it useful for teaching her words, on each page I would ask her to find things for me or I would point at something and aske her to tell me what it was. She thoroughly enjoyed this game and learned a lot of new words through playing it.

Classic right along with Dr Seuss.......2006-02-24

Big Dog ... Little Dog was probably the first book I read on my own. 20 years ago my uncle read all of P D Eastman's stories to me and now I get to read these same stories to his children. The illustrations are beautiful and the stories just as wonderful. No child should grow up without hearing these stories just once.

The only problem is that the stories can be so funny they don't really work as bed time stories, I mean, the dogs do some of the silliest things that will keep your kids laughing for hours after.

Nice book!.......2007-03-16

My toddler really loves this book, with its large pictures and colorful layouts. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the fact that I wish the flaps were easier for a toddler to open, they are thin and tear easily.

Great book for toddlers.......2006-07-28

This book is interactive without the use of batteries or electronics. Small children love to lift the flaps to answer the questions posed by the text. The one drawback of this particular edition is the size. It very large for younger children (2-3 years old)

Wonderful book for young toddlers.......2004-07-02

We were delighted to find this larger and longer "lift the flap" book for our 18 month old daughter. She has been enamored with all the books in the Spot series, and has enjoyed lifting flaps since she was less than a year old! This book is just wonderful because there are about three flaps to open per page, and the pictures are large and the paper is sturdy. It's so fun to read with your toddler and teach them about animal sounds, colors, shapes and numbers. The big size of the book makes it a little less portable and harder for small children to hold on their own, but we have spent many fun hours together reading this book. My daughter's eyes still light up when we get it off the shelf. I highly recommend this for everyone!!

Emily Elizabeth has a big red dog--the biggest, reddest dog on her street, and his name is Clifford. How big is he? He's so big that when he runs after cars, he catches them in his mouth, and his doghouse is bigger than Emily Elizabeth's house. Needless to say, he makes an excellent watchdog. Children love the idea of the things you could do and the fun you could have with a giant dog, and Norman Bridwell's delightful, Clifford-proof board-book edition will not disappoint.

The author really gives the cat in this story a voice, not to mention the cat is just like mine. Great story and pictures. I read it to my fourth grade class and they enjoyed it.

Cranky Cat Meets Big Dog.......2005-11-23

This is a humorous look at an imaginary life of Merl the "special" cat. He has his cat people and when they bring a puppy into the home, Merl begins an adventure. Kids love to hear it over and over--the illustrations are also very lovely. I love to read this out loud.

Sometimes a Dog can be a Cat's Best Friend.......2005-06-25

"My dish. My sofa. My chair. My mouse. My Bed." These are the words uttered by Merl, a very special cat and above each two word sentence is an excellent illustration. Merl, who always seems to have his pink mouse toy in his teeth by the tail is a happy, content cat, until his owners bring home a puppy. The puppy dog licks and slurps Merl to no end, apparently not aware that cats and dogs aren't supposed to be friends. Merl does everything he can to discourage the puppy, but in the end finds that nothing he does will shake this dog's love, so he leaves and seeks out a new home.

However, everywhere he goes he has problems, first a lady dresses him up like a show cat, children fight over him and he winds up sleeping in a box on the street until this dog comes by and guess what, that dog is the puppy all grown up and he takes Merl home and Merl decides to be friends after all, but there are a few rules he lays down and they are, "My dish. My sofa. My chair. My mouse. My bed and My Big Dog."

This is wonderful book for children just learning to read. The illustrations are simply beautiful. Your child will just love this. I know my girls did when they were learning to read. Five stars from me for "My Big Dog."

Merl the very special cat........2005-06-01

Awesome book! Only thing that I didn't really like so much were the grey people (they seemed to be photographs) that were inserted with the animals) Merl certainly is a very special cat, and I can't think of a reason why any child wouldn't love this book. I'm especially fond of Merl's pink mouse toy.

That aside, the writing is great and the illustration (Aside from the grey people) fit the mood of the whole thing fanatsticly. The 'i'm so irritated' cat face is just perfectly captured.

Dublin Elementary's First Grade Class!!!.......2005-04-15

Our class thought this book was funny! We laughed when the cat, Merl, got dressed up as a girl. Our favorite part was when the kids played tug-of-war with Merl. You have to buy this book! It is excellent!

My son loves to watch Blue Clue's on TV. When the book arrived - he had a big smile on his face. When it comes to reading at bedtime - this is his favorite.

Not only does he get a good story, it has plenty of things to count and/or look for other than the 3 clues.

I call this book a winner.

Smart Idea!.......2006-11-24

This is a brilliant book that is even better if you can get a really good deal on it. This book combines nine previous volumes featuring our favorite blue puppy. The pages are lined in gold-coloring and it features one of those handy built-in page-markers.

In these stories, everything is explored from Blue being bored with having nobody to play with to having an overnight sleepover. Many of the best "Blue's Clues" stories ever are here.

Having trouble finding this? The version I have uses the title "Blue's Treasury of Stories." So if you have a book called "Blue's Treasury of Stories," then you have this.

Best bang for your buck.......2001-04-30

This book is of good quality. It is hardcover and the pages are thick. It has 7 stories in one book. The stories are a good mix. There are seasonal as well as ones for everyday. It also has stories with Magenta, which my 2 year old daughter loves. This is one of her favorite books. Any child that loves Blue's Clues will enjoy this book.
