Opis

History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. Mainstream history 'science' says that after some 1000 years of sound sleep Europeans suddenly woke up as Christians to the hilt, armed themselves and started touring-crusading Middle East during 200 years to punish at last tormentors of Jesus, searching for the Saint Sepulchre, Saint Graals, Saint spears, nails and bits of Saint Cross and other reliques and curiosities. Christians finished their tour with a bang by sacking Constatinople allegedly in 1204 a.d. Local populations became muslims, crusaded back and built a Caliphate that span from Arabia to Morocco and North Africa, took Constantinople in 1453 a.d. Dr. Fomenko calls all this 'science' wrong. The Europeans did not hibernate for 1000 years before going after the wrongdoers. Dr. Fomenko's New Chronology sees the history of the world religions as follows: the pre-Christian period (prior to XI c. and Jesus Christ), Bacchic hristianity (XI-XII c., before and after Jesus Christ), Jesus Christ Christianity (XII-XIV c.) with its subsequent mutations in XV-XVII centuries into Orthodox Christianity, the Catholic Christianity, Protestant Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. Religious wars were a way of life. Dr. Fomenko does forensics with Occam's razor on the beautiful body of the world history. Its skeleton looks very different from one of the mainstream history. The author sees it very much compressed: all real events that took place over 1200 years ago as well as people who allegedly acted in them are simply unknown to us and will stay so forever. Ancient Egypt, Europe, Rome, China, India, etc..etc histories are simply figmental prior to that date. Homo sapience could neither read, nor write as yet. That was actually prehistory. Everything that is told to us about events that happened 1200 years ago is fiction. Human 'civilization' has yet to be worked out by homo sapience crowd. Civilisation started its relentless march with lots of sweat, blood and tears only about 800 a.d. Civilisation has developed its major features like writing, communications, religions and arts, centralised civil and military management only by 1000 a.d. Homo sapience sapiences did not sit on their hands - they applied immediately what they discovered and invented. Dr Fomenko et al. suspect that: Jesus Christ was born in 1152 a.d. and crucified in 1185 a.d. Both the New and the Old Testaments refer to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written in 1486 a.d. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic, validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history turn into a snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first time, millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Dr. Fomenko et al. are waiting to repent and retract if exact sciences produce valid objective refutations thereof.
