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.

Interesting Book With Lots of Pictures But Some Errors.......2007-09-20

I bought this book with some reservation. I read a review where the person said Texe Marrs made some mistakes and needs to do a better job with research. Looks like that reviewer might be right. But I had seen Texe Marrs on Google Video and liked him, so I bought the book anyway.

I had great fun flipping through the pictures until I had a "hey, I know that guy" experience on page 174. There I found a piece on Neil Wilson, the former President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (1979-1990). According to Texe Marrs, in this very blurry picture, Wilson is exchanging an "indisputable" Masonic handshake. He goes on to argue that the "Leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) is heavily Masonic." That is not true.

Maybe Wilson was a Freemason in disguise, and maybe he wasn't. I don't doubt that some Freemasons have infiltrated the SDA Church... but that last statement goes too far. There is no way the leadership of the church is "heavily" Masonic (my Dad until recently was one of the SDA Vice-Presidents... and he is no Freemason).

As for all those "anti-Christian" groups you mention like "Americans United" that the SDA leadership deals with... here is why they do:

SDA's keep the Seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) and are DEEPLY concerned about religious bigotry. They don't ever want the government telling them they have to go to church on Sunday. They know they are a minority in this country and are aware of the "Blue Laws" that used to exist. They are also keenly aware that notwithstanding the last century or two of American history, the history of the human race is one of religious bigotry and persecution. So they work with organizations that promote religious liberty and the separation between church and state. That Mr. Marrs, is the ONLY reason why SDA's deal with these groups.

The above is just one example of the errors I found in this book. Here's another... the picture on page 137 showing actor Pierce Brosnan supposedly giving the Devil sign is also wrong. The devil sign requires two fingers to be down. Brosnan clearly has his three middle fingers down and the palm of his hand is facing in, not out like is given with the devil sign. My advice Mr. Marrs: Get out of Texas once in a while... maybe visit Hawaii... then you would be able to recognize the Hawaiian "hang loose" sign when you see it. If you don't have time to go to Hawaii... may I recommend your book "Codex Magica" where on page 123 you posted an article from the "Cleveland Plain Dealer" newspaper which clearly demonstrated the "hang loose" sign which you misidentified just a few pages later on the hand of Pierce Brosnan!

Need I say more? And I haven't even started reading the book yet... just browsing through pictures! The bottom line though- this book has too many interesting pictures to ignore. If you buy it, take it with a grain of salt. And for the record, I still like Texe Marrs.

Huge amount of information.......2007-05-19

While I don't agree with everything the author states in his book, I did find the information inside to be copious and relevant to the subject at hand.

I give this book 5 stars because it delivers everything it promises.

If you want to know about Secret Signs, Mysterious Symbols and Hidden Codes of the Illuminati then look no further than this most informative, picture laden book.

A massive document of occult deception..........2007-05-15

Texe Marrs is a torch-bearer for the underground conspiracy movement that is slowly seeing the light of day... the book contains suprising pictures of media deception, infiltration, and subversion by secret societies...

There are some pictures that I found dubious, but I wouldn't put it past many of those in the media...

It is a must have for any occult or conspiratorial research...

An important work, despite bias of author.......2007-05-10

I like Texe Marrs, though I do not agree on some of his conclusions regarding zionism and the "Jewish" conspiracy that runs the world. I reject that theory. Otherwise I would give this 6 stars!

That being said, this is an important work because it shows without doubt the satanic nature of the world--and that the elites, though they deny it, are involved in covens, witchcraft...and that this is also the culture of the corporate world as well. It's been nod-nod-wink-wink till now... Texe has guts to release this indictment against the controllers and handlers of this world who have been screwing the "little guy" since time immemorial, all connected through satanism.

If you look through Texe's "Jewish Conspiracy Bias", you will find a treasure of information here.

Beautifully illustrated and packed with information.......2006-03-13

This is a beautiful book that's also a great resource of information. Its nicely bound in a large, coffee-table sized forma. Most of the illustrations in the body of the book are photographs of contempory and historial images, including historic art and architecture. The back of the book has a useful sign & symbol glossary, with images in an elegant, black on white sillouette style (as a graphic designer looking for inspiration, I really liked these!).

The text contains a great deal of information about the cultural, historical, psychological, and spiritual significance of many symbols.

I recommend this book whether you are seriously interested in "symbol literacy", are an artist or designer (or psychologist!), or are just looking for a nice coffee table book or gift. I'm not sure why its so inexpensive - its more than worth the price.

Tough Sledding.......2002-03-25

Let me start by first saying that I got a lot out of this work, and found the subject fascinating. I admire Mr. Eco for his pedagogy and effort in the advancement of the field of semiotics. That said...

Umberto Eco reminds me of the neurosurgeon who's invited to dinner at the plumbers' union. He can't seem to lower himself to the level of his audience, and despite the fact that he has much to offer succeeds in conveying only a portion of it to his listeners. This is assuming his intended audience is the general public and not a tiny niche of linguists. The subject of this book is interesting, but is unfortunately largely lost in arcane vernacular. It needs an additional level of translation.

Obviously it is difficult to communicate clearly in an specialized field without the use of specialized vocabulary. Any professional can leave the average person stone cold with a bunch of techno-babble, but in the end there has been no real communication. The trick is to educate strangers to the field while elucidating the finer points of same.

Often hindering this process is the mindset among intellectuals that the student should raise himself to the level of the professor. This idea is horribly flawed and lurking behind the sentiment is often self-aggrandizement on the part of the academic. Stephen Hawkings, probabably the most gifted physicist alive, admits that his first book was a debacle and resolved to change that. His subsequent works, which soared to the top of non-fiction lists world-wide, were in layman's language. And he did not "dumb down" the subject. "The measure of a man's greatness is the way he treats little men", said Andrew Carnegie.
