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.

Won't Fit in Your Pocket but an Interesting Little Book of Facts.......2007-07-25

This book has quite a few interesting facts on a wide range of subjects that you can slip into conversation at your next dinner party or to use to write some trivia questions for your next fundraiser. I've read a lot of these types of books and this one is easily in the top of that group. The only down point is that the book talks to you implying you are an American, which would be fine if you are but is a bit of an insult to the rest of us seeing as this book is published and sold in stores around the world. Editing the internationally released version would have been nice.

Presented alphabetically there are no chapters but instead like an encyclopaedia layout each topic has a heading a fair few facts and then we move onto the next topic. This means you're more likely to enjoy this book as a put down and pick up again type read rather than a cover to cover reading experience.

Some interesting facts from within this interesting little book include -
Apples contain less protein than any other fruit
Jed Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies only had a $25 million dollar fortune (not much by today's American rich people standards).
Chocolate syrup was used for the blood in Psycho
The twelve most frequently used letters in the English language in order are E, T, A, O, I N, S, H, R, D, L and U (one to remember if you ever go on Wheel of Fortune)
Cats cannot survive on dog food as they require five times as much protein as dogs
The only difference between a fiddle and violin is the music played on it.

Hundreds of interesting facts within this very interesting little book.

Slightly weird facts.......2007-01-03

This is a pocket book that fits in a jeans or a jacket pocket and lists the information by alphabetical order. There are alot of obscure and entertaining tidbits of information that you can log in your brain for future reference and use in conversation. I think kids , especially middle school or high school age will benefit much from this funny information . Things like Governor Schwarzenegger having served time in jail before makes the book interesting and the "news" a subject of discussion(he served six days in jail for going awol from the Austrian Army). He also was the first civilian to own a Humvee. It is in paperback stock with a hardcover and does not have any color photographs but only black and white and usually pretty small. The subject matter is pretty bizarre and ranges from things like The Simpsons to aviation, giraffes to Santa Claus and football to U.S. coins and currency. Most young students will find this information entertaining. There is something about our attention spans and our liking our information in small doses that this book satisfies. At under 200 pages in pretty simple text it can be read in several short sittings. Recommended for middle school up to about the tenth grade of high school. Actually most high school students would find the book entertaining as well. The book appeals most to the pop-culture aspect of trivia. A good book for the school or classroom library.

The Thing from Another Planet.......2005-12-19

I bought this book solely for the John Campbell story, "The Thing from Another Planet." I've been looking for this story since seeing John Carpenter's "The Thing" in the mid-1980's. A older friend in Denver told me he had read Campbell's story many years before and that it was a good story.

I just finished reading "The Thing..." and the story didn't disappoint me in the slightest. While I don't recommend waiting as long as I did to read this story, it was worth the wait and the hunt to find it. "The Thing" is definitely creepy.

I've read Lovecraft in the past and the remainder of the stories will be candy on top of the Campbell treat. Yes, there are typographical errors. The stories are still worth the read.

Mega collection of Antarctic fiction.......2005-01-30

There is an interesting story about this Chaosium collection [...]Charles Engan relates that when Chaosium was preparing to release the enormous campaign "Beyond the Mountains of Madness", there was not enough money to print everything in its entirety. The authors wanted to include "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym" as well as "At the Mountains of Madness", but since it was too expensive to include with the campaign, a friend offered to underwrite the expense of publishing the material, plus other fiction, as a separate volume. Voila! The Antarktos Cycle.

Contents:
"Antarktos" - from the "Fungi of Yuggoth" poem by HPL
"The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket"
"The Sphinx of the Ice Fields" - excerpts
"The Greatest Adventure"
"At the Mountains of Madness"
"The Tomb of the Old Ones"
"At the Mountains of Murkiness"
"The Thing From Another World"
"The Brooding City"
"The Dreaming City"

Traditionally, these cycles are used to illustrate how HPL developed the concepts used in his stories. "Arthur Gordon Pym" might be included solely for the purpose of the aformentioned campaign, but it is excellent Antarctic fiction by a rather important author in the development of horror. Also, have you ever wondered where "tekel-li-li" comes from? "Sphinx of the Ice Fields" has excerpts related to Pym's narrative.

"The Greatest Adventure" might also be useful for keepers planning to run the camapign for which Antarktos was designed - it describes the preparations for an Antarctic expedition as well as the actual undertaking itself. The incredibly potent seeds of life that they find undoubtedly inspired the movie "Evolution" as well as other fiction

"At the Mountains of Madness" is one of HPL's finest stories. I would love to see a cinematic version of this. Perhaps with global warming, Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness will someday be seen rising over the Antarctic plain!

I don't have much to say about the other titles. The last two develop the "Old Ones" that lived in Irem. Lovecraft sometimes used the same name for different concepts - he claimed that contradictory facts were more appropriate to an ancient myth cycle than having everythinng fit together neatly. They could have been left out and finished the book with ...

"The Thing From Another World" - I expected this to be pulpy, but it was surprisingly serious. Antarctic researchers discover an alien craft embedded in the ice. Unwittingly releasing an alien with control over its morphology at the sub-cellular level, it replicates itself by consuming and imitating life around itself. Who is human, and who is the monster? Do the infected humans even know that they are no longer human? Can they take the chance on anyone leaving the base alive? An incredible psychodrama as well as science fiction and horror. Great stuff - made me want to watch Carpenter's version again.

So yes, there are some very annoying typos, but the quality of the fiction is mostly top-notch, with some very unusual themes being explored. Don't let this collection pass you by.

Stories are alright, text itself has problems.......2004-12-29

My main problem with this collection is the typos. At one point, I found three of them on one page. These weren't hard to spot typos either. Most of them involved spanish characters, tildes, umlauts and the like. While the occasional typo isn't all that big of a deal, if they occur in these amounts, it breaks the mood, which is all important in a horror story.

Of the stories themselves, I didn't get the Taine one at all, although there were some cool scenes in it, the tomb of the old ones was good fun but predictable, the thing from another world seemed over rated, the brooding city was also formulaic, but rather amusing, and the narrative of arthur gordon pym was uneven, although at its heights, it demonstrated unprecedented imagination.

At The Mountains of Madness itself is somewhat odd. It starts very, very well, establishing the threatening menace of its setting and then getting right on to the monsters, which are very imaginative. Slowly, however, it loses its way. The monsters become an alien race we are meant to sympathize with. A second set of monsters is introduced, and these are memorable, but they are not given enough time to attain the desired impact. However, the story does possess Lovecraft's funniest (and possibly only) joke (although whether this is intentional or not is somewhat debatable).

almost....almost....almost good.......2003-04-09

againandagainandagain. it gets almost interesting. lovecraft's scientific story ending up with nothing much of a climax, Poe drowning in nautical technical information and fragmentary style. taine's is the most interesting one. first too little happens, then too much. could have been good, but is first too boring then too much in the overwhelming action-genre. glasby has good descriptions, but his story doesn't go anywhere. some of the other stories could have been good too. but always, something destroys. too boring, not going anywhere, lacks suspence. truly sad since many of the stories shows potential.

A great collection of stories..........2002-10-29

From the ends of the Earth come stories of adventure and really BAD things. Start off with a sonnet by Lovecraft himself, called, 'Antarktos', then on to the first course with 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket' by Edgar Allan Poe, with a follw-up of excerpts by Jules Vern's called 'The Sphinx of the Ice Fields'. This is followed by the not-so-well-known 'The Greatest Adventure' by John Taine. 'At The Mountains of Maddness' by H.P. Lovecraft is served next, the main course, followed by 'The Tomb of the Old Ones' by Colin Wilson. Arthur C. Clarke cooks up a fine story in 'At the Mountains of Murkiness' and what meal would be complete without 'The Thing From Another World' by John W. Campbell Jr.? We finish off our fine dining with 'The Brooding City' by John S. Glasby and 'The Dreaming City' by Roger Johnson. Full yet?

Eh... fine for Grades 3-6.......2006-05-02

I don't think this is as informative or spine-tingling as the previous reviewer suggests. It's a short book - 48 pages, with large print and lots mostly oversized photos. Most of the text, in fitting with the title, details anecdotes of sightings, rather than saying very much about the location where the sightings purportedly occurred. For someone (young and) interested in a bit of juevenile wonder and/or excitement, it's probably fine.

The main advantage of the book, other than being able to hold it in your hands (maybe with a flashlight, under the covers or in a backyard pup tent), are those oversized photos. But the text itself isn't written with the thrill that might accompany some of the dark and spooky photos, so the photos become even more important.

For informative, there are many other books (and websites, for that matter) about ghosts and supernatural events and sightings. For my own interests/purposes (possibly visiting some of the locales), it wasn't nearly as informative as I'd hoped. An exception would be the Winchester Mystery House, which is acknowledged for its innumnerable architectural oddities and which is an interesting sidestop (not destination) independent of ghost reports. But I actually bought this book there, and haven't yet been compelled by the book to visit others.

Ghosts of the West Coast sent chills up my spine and made me want to read more. From the Winchester Mansion to Alcatraz Island, this book is informative, interesting and chilling. I loved every page.
