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.

please avoid this book.......2007-06-10

for your dog's own good, please avoid this book. it is unfortunate that just anybody can and does write books these days. there is flat out misinformation in this book. here is just one example: the author recommends feeding grapes to dogs. grapes are listed on the poison list for dogs. there are others too numerous to list.
if you want to know the FACTS about canine nutritional needs, i recommend:
1) 'home prepared dog and cat diets' by donald strombeck, DVM
2) 'canine nutrition' by lowell ackerman, DVM
3) 'small animal clinical nutrition' by hand, thatcher, remillard, roudebush (this is a veterinary text book, you can find it used for a good price at amazon)
these books have good chapters on nutrition:
1) 'dr pitcairn's complete guide to natural health for dogs & cats' by richard pitcairn, DVM
2)) 'natural health bible for dogs & cats' by shawn messonnier, DVM
3) 'dog health & nutrition for dummies' by christine zink, DVM

For anyone who likes to spoil their cat rotten, this book is an absolute must-have!

Other cats have had the good fortune of living the celebratory life, as the pet of a president. Socks, President Clinton's black-and-white beauty, is undoubtedly one of the most photographed cats in history. From famous stars to back-alley rogues, The Cat Lover's Book of Fascinating Facts has them all.

Fun Facts About Cat.......2007-07-18

I think that cat owner and cat lover are synonymous. Once you have a cat (or more accurately a cat chooses you), it's hard not to delight in their mischief, in their attitudes, and in their affection.

Fun Facts About Cats is an entertaining trivia book for cat lovers. The entries range from interesting information about cat behaviour (why they scratch furniture, eat grass, why they sleep so much, and why they always choose to sit on that Great Uncle that hates cats) through inspiring tales about cats who rescued humans, lived for weeks without food or water, or were left millions of dollars to accounts of various cat lovers and haters throughout history. There are also some great cat quotes and examinations into the validity of various cat myths such as if cats always land on their feet and if they have nine lives.

Whether your Fluffy likes to lounge all day or your Tiger chooses to save your family from burglars, every cat lover will find some little tidbit of information that they didn't previously know about their cat.

Delightful cartoon illustrations and easy to digest facts.......1999-07-01

I love this book! I train and care for MORRIS, THE 9-LIVES CAT, and many cat books don't interest me, but I bought this one. The combination of delightful cartoons and easy to digest facts and stories make this book a stand-out favorite in my collection. I love the drawings of the cats because they communicate the magic that only a cartoon can! I was delighted to find information here that I haven't found elsewhere. Richard Torregrossa skillfully combines both education and fun facts about cats, and with great affection--Fun Facts About Cats is appropriately named. As someone who has spent over a decade working with cats, I really appreciate the book's combination of humane messages with a healthy sense of humor"--Dawn Haney, handler, trainer, and spokesperson for Morris, the 9-Lives Cat

Great Cartoons--Lots of fun facts--great gift.......1998-10-20

A friend of mine gave me this book and I've bought ten copies to give to my other cat-loving friends. Some of the interesting tidbits I picked up about cats inlcude the story about the cat who survived a 16-story fall, a cat who truly did survive nine lives, and that cats sleep about 16 hours per day, so a seven-year-old cat has only been awake for about two years. But it's the jolly cartoons that make this book special. The author knows his felines. They practically jump off the page, they're so real and cuddly. I want my husband to buy me the cover illustration of a tabby I am in love with. I can't wait to buy his next books, which I hope is on animals, too.

Cute. Cartoony, and Factually Fun.......1998-10-05

If you know a cat lover, this is the perfect book. This book captures the simple love and joy of owning a cat. The cartoons are bright and lively and text is full of suprises. Did you know that 80% of pet owners give thier pets gifts during the holidays. Or that one out of four dogs fail out of dog-sniffing school. Sniffing is a talent and not all dogs have it to the same degree. Wonderful stuff. I bought twenty copies. Christmas is right around the corner.

Adorable illustrations! I learned things I never knew........1998-09-03

This is the most charming collection of illustrations!. Richard captures the uniqueness, personality and the coolness of cats in his adorable drawings. The facts were so interesting I couldn't put the book down. I e-mailed some of the facts to my feline loving friends and they begged for more. This is a great gift idea for all animal lovers. If you weren't crazy about cats before, you will be after reading Richard's book.
