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.

Product Description

This eight-volume set is the end product of a series of classes I conducted at our Foundation's former location in New York. The classes consisted of a line-by-line analysis of the lessons, introductions, reviews, summaries, and the Epilogue. I have considerably enlarged some of the original discussion, supplying additional references to other relevant portions of the Course, the Preface, the two pamphlets, poems from The Gifts of God, and the prose poem "The Gifts of God." This work can thus be seen as a complete Course companion to accompany students on their own journey through the workbook. My purpose in presenting the classes originally, as it remains in this book, was to help students better understand the meaning of the lessons and their place in the curriculum of A Course in Miracles, and most of all, to help students see the importance of applying the daily lessons to their everyday lives. Without such application, the brilliance of Jesus' words is wasted, and they become simply a sterile system of intellectual teachings. This book can be read in at least three ways: 1) straight through, as one would do with the text; 2) different lessons at different times; or 3) one lesson at a time, as a companion to each lesson. I would urge students, however, if they are doing the workbook for the first time, to read the lessons as they are, without my commentary. In other words, as with all my other work on A Course in Miracles, this book is meant to supplement a student's experience of the workbook, not to substitute for the workbook as it was given to us. (Adapted from the Preface)

The best accompanying workbook to ACIM!! Must read........2007-10-17

In my 30 yrs of school in music, philosophy and art I have never found a more comprehensive and consistent ideology than in "A Course In Miracles". It is the best book I ever read and will ever read. The Metaphysical teachings of Jesus in ACIM, is truly the most remarkable and effective "life-guide" I could ever have imagined to find. Kenneth Wapnick's workbook for ACIM, is the perfect companion to ACIM's teachings. In it, Kenny highlights and ties all of ACIM's 3 books into one comprehensive, mind-blowing understanding. Godspeed... For those who want to leave this illusion of life and wake up in God, One forever...

Fantastic!.......2006-03-18

This set of eight books has Ken's detailed commentary on each lesson. Relevant quotes from the Text are included in the comments, too, making the whole lesson come alive. If you are a Course student and are doing the lessons, you will absolutely love this set. Enjoy!

It began with The Christmas Box, a humble story about a caretaker and his family who befriend a lonely widow at Christmas time. In The Christmas Box Miracle, author Richard Paul Evans offers the back story, showing us how his self- published book became a runaway bestseller. We first meet the author as a young boy, learning about the family and faith that led him to become such as reliable and unpretentious narrator. As it turns out, Evans grew up in a Mormon household amongst a band of taunting brothers and a few childhood ghosts. His mother lost a stillborn daughter when Evans was a toddler. She also suffered from severe depression and suicidal tendencies. This backdrop helps us understand Evans's dedication to bring healing and hope to life. More than a publishing success story, The Christmas Box Miracle speaks about Evans's ability to change readers' lives and foster miracle after miracle. Fans of Evans already know to pull out their handkerchiefs. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

In 1994, Richard Paul Evans, then an unknown writer, self-published a short book entitled The Christmas Box. That book went on to become an international bestseller, selling more than seven million copies and touching the lives of many more people along the way.

The Christmas Box Miracle is the story behind the book that has become a Christmas classic: how a man writes and publishes a book which helps grieving people to heal and lost souls to find their way home. It is Evans's story: his own spiritual journey and stories of people he encountered along the way -- miraculous stories of healing and divinity that often defy explanation.

In sharing the story behind The Christmas Box, Richard Paul Evans has given us a story of miracles, hope and healing for all seasons.

What?.......2007-07-01

I am a big fan of the Christmas Box books, but when I saw this book I thought UHHHHHH I guess he needs even more money. RPE must have realized that he was a flash in the pan, and was desprate to hang on to his falling fame. This book does have its moments though, but it sounds like a broken record. They were giving this book away.. a free copy with every $10 purchase. I wish RPE would get over himself he's no Charles Dickens!!!

excellent book.......2007-03-20

this book is really eye opening as to faith and where it can lead you if you let it.

Powerful, yet simple message.......2007-01-14

Unfortunately I read this after reading "The Light of Christmas" so I knew most of the story line but it was still worth the read. It is a simple story with a powerful message about the importance of our individual lives and the lives of those who love us. The Christian message of hope in life is prevalent but subtle and doesn't come across as 'preaching' while still delivering its impact.

Buy more than one!.......2005-12-05

I loved this book from the beginning to the end. It is filled with profound thought evoking experiences and letters. I always love "the story behind the story" and that is exactly what this is. I suggest buying more than one because then you will have one to keep and one that you can share with out having to worry about tracking it down later.

This is the BEST book I've ever read........2003-12-24

Even if you haven't read "The Christmas Box," and don't know what it's about you should read "The Christmas Box Miracle!" It's the most inspiring, and moving book I've ever read. I hope you take the opportunity you've been given, and read this awesome book. It will change your life for the better.

Journey Beyond Words.......2007-05-29

I found this book very enlightning. Having been a student of A Course in Miracles (Combined Edition) for several years, It was a very easy way to understand the outline and principles of what can be a difficult book to grasp. I would highly recommend this book together with the companion book The Other Voice: A Companion to the Text of "the Course" Chapters 1-15 (Miracles Studies Book) to anyone searching for a meaning to life as we think we know it. It is based on the "Workbook" contained in "ACIM" and gives very clear instructions on how to work towards to a recognition of true understanding.

Familiar with ACIM or not,,, this book is great..........2005-01-22

Welcome.
If you are familiar with A Course In Miracles it is quite likely you'll find this book to be a very eloquent, accessible, and beautiful reminder of the message within ACIM. In my experience it addresses the underlying theme of ACIM in ways that differ from ACIM (which may mean they will touch you in new ways) whilst doing the topics at hand just as much service and perhaps more as ACIM did.

If you tried to read ACIM and essentially liked it (i.e.. you didn't put it down in total disfavour) but found it inaccessible or hard to get through then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. I am quite certain it will bring an element of joy and love into your world.

Now, I trust that many reading these reviews will NOT have read ACIM. Is that you?
If it is... I would say that the value of this book will depend very much on what you are looking for (which is the case with most books right?). So, if you are looking for a book that will provide you with: a gentle, clear, and easy to read reminder of what's True; a wake up call; a loving yet potentially transformative journey into releasing that which is holding you back within your view of the world/life/creation; something you can pick up at any time and read a few pages of to bring yourself back to a place of centred peace and Truth; a spiritual cosmology that is free of much of the "fluff" present in many "New Age" teachings, and free of the dogma of most religious paths... (the list goes on) then again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Of course if you are firmly rooted into a particular organised spiritual dogma / concept that relies heavily on spiritual rules, regulations, hierarchies, etc then this book may simply piss you off, rub you up the wrong way, and leave you feeling dissatisfied. (Although that may not be such a bad thing... only a closed mind would react in such a way, so perhaps this book will be just the thing to jolt such a mind open)
But hey... perhaps you've come from and through a background story such as this and now wish to let a great deal go... freeing up the necessary "space" within your mind to experience deep, true, and lasting peace?

Whatever the case may be... may Love extend into your world in this moment... and if you buy this book may you enjoy the ride.

Beyond Words.......2002-01-08

Since this book was initially intended to be a study guide for "A Course In Miracles", there is a tendency think that to buy this book would require an involvment with the Course. On the cover it is clearly labled as "A Companion to The Workbook of The Course" and is also designated as "A Miracles Studies Book". As a result I feel that this book has not yet reached a wide enough audience. This book and one that came after "The Other Voice" are more than just adjuncts to the Course.
The speaker of these teachings, Jeshua (Jesus), uses the word "extension" to denote the difference between the true Creation of God and the world that we experience, which he says comes from projection, an activity of the ego, and therefore not true creation. Extension is God's expression of His Love. The word informs us of the profoundly important fact that True Creation can in no way be anything that is outside of God. All creation must be simply God extending Him/Herself. That means that if all True Creation is simply God, and God is omnipotent and omnipresent, then all True Creation must be the extension of That. And God's Will, by definition, must be perfect, so there can be NO will in Creation that is separate or opposed to That Will. Think about the implications of that. Then get this book.
My life and intention has been irreversibly changed by this material. It is more than just a clarification of previous material. I believe that it can be thought of as an "extension" of the Course, in the larger meaning of that word. It is the profound Love of the Course extended in Love. The words are very clear and straightforward and easy to understand from the point of view of language, but these lessons live up to the title, "Journey Beyond Words". It may be 1,000 years or more before we can really begin to understand everything that is trying to come through here, but I strongly suggest that if you live with these words, rather than just read them, your journey to perfect joy and peace, where death is merely a transition, will be much more direct. There are many paths to that, but I feel that this is perhaps the most profound. The importance of this book and all of the words of Jeshua cannot, in my estimation, be overstated.

Spirituality for the layperson.......2001-07-18

There are many spiritual books in the market today, most of which contain contradictory information about the nature of the universe, the nature of man, and the nature of God. However, this book is perhaps the most hopeful and truthful message I have come across in my spiritual journey so far. The language is clear, simple, and easy to understand -- enough to get a layperson such as myself started on the inner journey very quickly. The message itself is one of hope and promise -- that we are all one and that the universe, including ourselves, is a single undivided whole that we can experience with the help of God. This book is refreshingly free of the cultural and gender bias that is present in many "new age" books today.

This book is highly recommended for those looking for a positive path to daily living.

Misses the meaning of ACIM (r).......2001-06-30

If you are led by your ego, and afraid to trust Jesus as he teaches you in the Course, you will find this book interesting I guess? Personnally when I hunger for the Course, I read the Course, and when I thirst for water I drink water. I admit that I am not looking for a hodge-podge spirituality, so I may be a bit biased. But please understand what you are saying when you say that the words and meanings of Jesus need clarification. Who would do that-The Holy Spirit, or the ego? Peace.

Book Description

With more than 1.5 million copies in print, A Course in Miracles is one of the most popular texts for self-actualization. A self-study course designed to help change one's perceptions, A Course in Miracles was recorded over a seven-year period by Dr. Helen Schucman, a highly respected research psychologist who heard a “voice” dictating the material to her. In JOURNEY WITHOUT DISTANCE, Robert Skutch, director of the Foundation for Inner Peace, publishers of A Course in Miracles, recounts the inspirational story of how the book came to be. What was Helen Schucman really like? Why was she chosen to receive the material? What roles did other people play in this fantastic journey? Based on firsthand accounts told to the author, JOURNEY WITHOUT DISTANCE is a suspenseful and dramatic story that will fascinate the millions of people who have read A Course in Miracles and captivate those who have not yet opened its pages.

Read this before the Course in Miracles.......2007-05-07

This is a great book to read before you pick up the Course in Miracles. A great entryway into it.

A very easy and pleasant read.......2002-04-29

I like this book because it is very "user-friendly." Anyone familiar with Course theory will know that the Course can often be very "heady." The Course is not an easy thought system to grasp, even for those of us who have been studying it for years (I'm in my fifth year of study, now). The story behind A COURSE IN MIRACLES, how it was "scribed" and published, may be as startling as the Course theory itself (the Course is founded on the teaching that the world is an illusion made by the ego as an attack on God).

And that's why I love this book: it breaks down the story of A COURSE IN MIRACLES into a very understandable and simple history. The other book about the story behind the Course is ABSENCE FROM FELICITY by Kenneth Wapnick, and it is a wonderful book. But it is also very challenging and raises many spiritual, psychological, and theological themes in its retelling, so it is therefore a bit of "work" to get through. It, like all of Mr. Wapnick's book, is challenging. This book, JOURNEY WITHOUT DISTANCE, is purely linear and non-technical in its retelling. And is therefore not as "intimidating" as some of the other books on this fascinating subject.

For those who do not know, the title of this book is taken from the passage in A COURSE IN MIRACLES that refers to the journey to God as being, "a journey without distance to a goal that has never change." (Text of A COURSE IN MIRACLES, Ch. 8, paragraph 9, sentence 7)

The background story of The Course.......2002-03-27

I had heard vague information about "A Course in Miracles" some 18 years ago. I was curious but never really followed up on it. Then, I came across this book a few years ago and it is an amazing miraculous story. The odd thing is that Dr. Helen Schucman experienced a life long struggle with faith in God and never truly believed in what she had received from this inner voice. Yet The Course has changed countless lives. If you are at all curious about The Course, I suggest you read this book before starting any study. It is not only inspiring but it gives so much credibility to the whole thing.

For those who use the Course, this tells the story........1998-10-20

Having used A Course in Miracles for close to two years, I was glad to find a book which detailed the story of how it was written. If you find the Course any where near as life changing as I have, you wonder how it came about. This book, by one close to the people who actually wrote it down, takes the process out of the realm of fantasy and puts real flesh and blood into the mix. It also makes the Course even more credible. I highly recommend this as a companion to A Course in Miracles.

Book Description

Ever since the publication of the magnificent third edition of A Child Is Born, Lennart Nilsson has devoted himself to retelling this magical story especially for children. How Was I Born? closely follows the experience of Mary who is nearly five and her family as they lovingly prepare to welcome a new baby. The book matches Mary's insatiable curiosity, impatience, and concern with gentle, reassuring information. Nilsson's spectacular photographs illustrate Mary's actual questions: when she wonders how big the baby is, one photo shows an ant on her brother's fingertip, opposite the exact image of her future sibling at that time. When she asks how the baby eats, the reader sees her drinking through a straw as the baby-to-be feeds through the umbilical cord. Meant to be read by a child alone or with a parent, How Was I Born? answers all the questions children ask about pregnancy and childbirth--the biological as well as the emotional ones. Perfect for children aged five and up, it is also a wonderful book of all ages.

From the Hardcover edition.

God bless the Swedes...no inhibitions here. My 7 year old boy was asking specific questions about child birth and this answered them, alright.

My son loved the pictures of fetal development!.......2006-03-01

A great introduction to pregnancy for a child. Gets the words [of vital organs] and intercourse" on the table to build on for a later discussion. Agree could use a little more realism of the birth, but otherwise great!

Nowhere near as good as the 1975 edition!!!.......2002-06-03

I had wonderful memories of Lennart Nilsson's wondrous photography and book from the 1975 edition my mother got me at age 3. Now, as a mother and a doula I wanted to share it with my own daughter. I did not like the new edition at all. The old edition included more photographs of the developing fetus as well as actually explaining reproduction. It includes multi age nude group photos so children can see the differences between male and female, and there is a photograph of a crowning infant, rather than the sanitized and cleaned up newborn of this book. Overall, I found this book dumbed down and wanting. If you want your child to really understand what is happening inside your body, and how it started, I would recommend Nilsson's "A Story in Pictures" form 1975, which you can get used. It is realistic, everything is illustrated with photographs, not cartoons. The only exception to that is penetration, which is represented by a cross section illustration. It is overall a much better introduction to reproduction and childbirth for children than all of these patronizing, cartoony books that are so common nowadays.

Does your child want to know about the baby inside you?.......2001-06-13

This is the book--color pictures of the baby inside the womb and yet geared towards children so they can share in the experience even more.Wonderful book!

Spellbinding.......2000-07-07

Our oldest daughter was spellbound by this book that we bought while expecting our second child. Fantastic pictures and a great way to explain to a child what is happening with their mom.
