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

NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS.

When Britt's older brother, Bran, lands a summer job house-sitting in Florida, it seems like a great opportunity. Britt's family has just recently moved to Florida, and could use the extra money while her mom finishes college. There's only one problem: Britt starts to suspect her family isn't supposed to be there.

Britt starts poking around, and makes a startling discovery -- the owners of the house aren't who Bran says they are. So whose house are they living in, and why has Bran brought them there?

House on the Gulf.......2007-02-11

What would you do if your responsible, older brother suddenly started to act suspicious and paranoid that people are watching him? Would you spy on him and watch his every move? This is something Britt Lassiter has to face in House on the Gulf by Margaret Peterson Haddix. When Britt's family moves to Florida so that her mom, Becky, can get a scholarship to finish college, her brother, Bran, finds a job mowing for the Marquises. They hired him to house-sit their house while they went to New York in the summer. When the family moves in to the Marquises house, Britt notices Bran is acting weird and not like himself. Is Bran hiding something that he isn't telling Britt or her mother? Will Britt ever get to see her grandparents that disowned her family?

I enjoyed this book because although it is a little slow, some parts are very suspenseful and keeps you reading! There are some sad parts in the story that made me feel bad for Britt and her family, but they are a happy family who sticks together, no matter what happens! This mystery is written in Britt's perspective and will leave you with a happy ending feeling!

I recommend this to people in grades 6-12.

Kayla's Review.......2006-11-04

Imagine being caught in a sticky situation...a strange situation that was not your fault, that your rotten older brother got you into. One that made what you thought was going to be the best summer of your life, the worst! Brit Lassiter was caught in a big, confusing problem that she had to get to the bottom of, ASAP!

The House On The Gulf, is a 201 page, fictional novel. It was written by Margaret Peterson Haddix, the author of the Shadow Children series, who keeps you turning the pages `till your done. The story contains the poor and falling apart Lassiter family. The Lassiter family is made up of 12-year-old Brit Lassiter, her 16-year-old brother Bran, and their single mother, struggling to finish college. All three of them live in a dangerous trailer park and are trying to hold their life together...Until Bran gives them some good news just before summer begins, leaving his sister and mother jumping for joy. He tells them that the Marquises, an elderly couple who's been paying Bran to mow their lawn for a couple months, asked him to housesit for them the whole summer! Brit and her mother are ecstatic...but soon Bran starts acting strange.

When the Lassiter family arrives at their new "summer house" Bran acts very cautious, maybe a little TOO cautious. First of all, he doesn't let his mother talk to the Marquises about the whole house sitting gig, doesn't let any of the Marquises silverware, pots, and pans be touched, goes to the shed often with mysterious brown boxes, gets a new lock for his temporary closet, and always stutters when asked a question. Brit knows that her brother is losing his "Mr. Cool" personality, along with his mind, and starts to wonder if her and her family are supposed to be there...

If you like stories that have an awesome plot, along with a surprising ending, this book is for you. I strongly recommend every one looking at this review to read "The House On The Gulf" by the award-winning author, Margaret Peterson Haddix and find out what happens to Brit and her family in the end!

Slow Moving Story, Interesting Characters.......2006-08-06

This story is narrated by a 12 year old girl named Britt Lassiter. Her older brother gets a summer house sitting job on the Gulf Coast of Florida for her and her monm, who is studying to eventually become a doctor.

But Britt becomes suspicious of the circumstances surrounding the house sitting situation, and eventually, she discovers the truth.

But it takes a long time for the truth to become revealed, the plot is slow and sluggish, and at the end of the book, the author (through the storytelling of Britt) tries too hard to make didactic and thematic points.

But the book is redeemed by two wonderful characters, the gracious, hospitable, and forgiving neighbor Mrs. Stuldy, and Britt herself, a conscientious young girl.

Although God and Jesus are not mentioned by name or title, it is clearly evident that Mrs. Stuldy is guided by her biblically based values, and she is a wonderful role model for both the young and the mature. God's unconditional love for others is manifest in her life.

I give the book four stars for its shining character development and its abstention from bad language and its extollation of good moral values. My only wish is that the story could have been more engaging and interesting, Britt often comes across as overly paranoid, and you keep thinking, "When is this story ever going to become interesting? When will the writer get to the point? When will it be over?"

I recommend this book for parents who want to buy something that teaches kids the values of grace, hospitality and forgiveness. But not everyone will be enthused by the story. My niece liked it. I thought it was OK.

This up-to-date and comprehensive CD-ROM provides an unparalleled collection of official federal documents and publications on all aspects of Iraq and the impending war to oust Saddam Hussein from power while destroying his weapons of mass destruction. Every facet of Iraq is thoroughly covered, from its oil reserves and trade with America, to NASA satellite and astronaut photos and maps, and country studies by the Library of Congress and the CIA. There is complete coverage - with extensive photography and Clinton White House material - of the various military operations against Iraq since the Gulf War: Operations Southern Watch and Northern Watch, which enforce the no-fly zones; Desert Strike in 1996; and Desert Fox in 1998. From the Bush White House, the disc features President George W. Bush's ultimatum speech to the United Nations General Assembly on September 12, 2002 and the background paper, "A Decade of Deception and Defiance" providing specific examples of how Iraqi President Saddam Hussien has violated UN resolutions over the past 11 years. Thousands of pages produced by the U.S. Department of State detail the case against Hussein, and the latest British intelligence report on his weapons of mass destruction is also included. House and Senate hearings and testimony provide background information on the challenges posed by regime change. Presidential messages on the "national emergency with respect to Iraq" from the 104th to the current 107th Congress are reproduced.
