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.

Has history been tampered with?.......2007-10-23

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RAZQNMXM4M9CL Has history been tampered with? Yes, it has! Did events and eras such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Roman Empire , the Dark Ages, and the Renaissance, actually occur within a very different chronology from what we've been told? Yes, they certainly did!

The history of humankind is both drastically shorter and dramatically different than generally presumed.

Why is it so? On one hand, it was usual custom to justify the claims to title and land by age and ancestry, and on the other the court historians knew only too well how to please their masters. The so called universal classic world history is a pack of intricate lies for all events prior to the 16th century. World history as we learn it today was entirely fabricated in the 16th-18th centuries. It's likely that nobody told you before, but

there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artefact that is reliably and independently dated prior to the 11th century.

Naturally, after what you've learned in school and university, you will not easily believe that the classical history of ancient Rome, Greece, Asia, Egypt, China, Japan, India, etc., is manifestly false.

You will point accusing finger to the pyramids in Egypt, to the Coliseum in Rome and Great Wall of China etc., and claim, aren't they really ancient, thousands of years ancient? Well, there is no valid scientific proof that they are older than 1000 years!

The oldest original written document that can be reliably dated belongs to the 11th century!

New research asserts that Homo sapiens invented writing (including hieroglyphics) only 1000 years ago. Once invented, writing skills were immediately and irreversibly put to the use of ruling powers and science.

The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the 16th century by the Jesuits.

The world history was compiled from contradictory mix of innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts and other irrefutable proofs delivered by late mediaeval astronomers that were cemented by the authority of writings of the Church Fathers.

Early in life, we learn about ancient history. Children love the magical lessons of history - they are like fairy tales. Teachers recite breathtaking stories; very soon We learn by heart the names and deeds of brave warriors, wise philosophers, fabulous pharaohs, cunning high priests and greedy scribes.

We learn of gigantic pyramids and sinister castles, kings and queens, dukes and barons, powerful heroes and beautiful ladies, emaciated saints and low-life traitors.

Ancient history is based documents, manuscripts, printed books, paintings, monuments and artefacts - called primary sources.

The problem is that neither these ancient documents, nor events described therein can be irrefutably dated, moreover they contradict each other for the most part.

When a school textbook tells us that Genghis Khan in year X or Alexander in year Y, have each conquered half of the world, it means only that it is so said in some of the written sources.

There are no answers to simple questions:

When were these primary sources written?

Where and by whom were these sources found?

It is wrongly presumed that ancient and medieval chronicles, written by Genghis Khan's or Alexander the Great contemporaries and eyewitnesses, are readily available. Actually, only sources written hundreds or even thousands of years after the events are there, compiled mostly in the 16th 18th centuries, or even later.

As a rule, these sources suffered considerable multiple manipulations, falsifications and distortions by editing. At the same time,

innumerable originals of ancient documents under various pretexts were destroyed in Europe under various pretexts.

The names of persons and geographical sites often changed meaning and location during the course of the centuries.

Geographical locations became clearly defined on maps only with the advent of printing.

This made possible the circulation of identical copies of the same map for purposes of the military, navigation, education and governance tasks.

Historians from Oxford say: "hey, everybody knows that Julius Caesar lived in the first century B.C.

`Julius Caesar' statement is only a point of view as

there is simply no irrefutable documentary proof that Julius Caesar or any other great name of antiquity ever existed.

Better than that - extremely rare sources that can be reliably dated back to the 10th-14th centuries A D, do not show the polished picture of classical history.

They show a picture both contradictory and confusing.

All methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts are erroneous:

Radio-carbon C14 method produces dating with exactitude of plus minus 1500 years, therefore it is too crude for dating of events in historical timeframe!

The Almagest tractate, which lies as corner stone contemporary chronology, compiled in the 2nd century A D by Ptolemy, the founding father of astronomy, contains astronomical data of 9th to 16th century!

The Bronze Age,that has supposedly began 5000 years ago. Bronze is made of 90% copper and 10% tin, but the technology for tin extraction dates back to 14th century A D!.

All eclipses contained in manuscripts, like Thucydides one, relating 'ancient' events have exclusively medieval dating. All horoscopes cut in stone or painted in Egyptian temples, like Dendera have exclusively early medieval dating solutions.

Not quite what you have learned in school? Open your eyes, and, you will find sufficient proof to reach step by step the inevitable conclusion that the classical chronology is false and therefore, that the history of ancient and medieval world universally accepted today, is also false. Have a fresh outlook on everything said or printed about "ancient" and "enigmatic" Roman, Greek and Egyptian, medieval as well as all other "lost and found" civilizations.

Antiquity and Dark Ages are phantoms invented in the 16th 18th and polished in 19th 20thcenturies. Human civilization is in fact barely 1000 years old!

This book will change your perception of History forever!
What if Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were invented during Renaissance?
What if The Old Testament was a rendition of events of the Middle Ages?
What if Jesus Christ was born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD?
Sounds Unbelievable?
Not after you've read "History: Fiction or Science?" by Anatoly Fomenko, the genius mathematician.
Armed with astronomy and computers Anatoly Fomenko turns History into a rocket science.

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.

Book Description

The Theory of Monetary Institutions analyzes the often overlooked - but fundamental - questions about monetary policy regimes:- How and why have monetary institutions evolved into their present forms?- What are the leading arguments for and against government involvement in money and banking?- What models do we have for explaining how monetary authorities choose to behave in a discretionary fiat money regime, and how well do they fit?- What alternatives to the current regime are available, and how would they work?Using a history of thought approach, The Theory of Monetary Institutions begins with a logical evolutionary account of the development of market monetary institutions from barter to the inter-bank clearinghouse. It analyzes the behavior of a metallic money standard, the market forces regulating the quality of bank-issued money, and the "naturalness" of the various roles associated with central banking.The second section of the book scrutinizes the major welfare arguments used to justify government roles in the monetary and banking systems - such as Samuelson's "non-optimality of money-holding under laissez-faire" and Diamond and Dybvig's parable about the danger of bank runs - and identifies their strengths and weaknesses. The third section reviews the major positive theories for explaining central bank behavior in a discretionary fiat regime: the seigniorage motive, political business cycles and the trap of discretion. Concluding with a discussion of alternative regimes, the book examines monetary rules, private fiat money and a multi-commodity standard.

Graduate Monetary Theory.......2005-05-08

This book prepares a student with the background for several relevant debates in monetary theory. Written by Dr. White to cover the material he presents in a semester graduate lecture, this book has the best of both scope and detail. He builds a solid background with Mengerian foundations of money. Then he thoroughly builds a scheme of understanding monetary policy in a gold-backed system. Once this is accomplished, modern financial market complexities are built on top of the books over-arching analysis. Topics made clear include Inflationary bias (Barrow, Gordon, Kyland, and Prescott), hyperinflation, rules vs. discretion, bank deposit insurance, and many other central bank policies which can be difficult without proper guidance.

A Great Comprehensive Book.......2000-07-26

A great book. It is very comprehensive and written in a simple way (regarding the complexity of the themes it deals with). The investigation is very objective, it uses sound theoretical analysis and different mathematical models (which he explains in relatively simple terms), contrasting them with the historical evidence and empirical data. It treats the history and development of money (from commodity money to fiat money), and monetary institutions, doing an exceptional analysis of the gold standard, its costs and benefits. It also analyzes the role of Central Bank's in money and banking, and uses various models used to try to explain the Central Bank's behavior, according to different goals that Central Banks may have. Finally, it discusses alternative monetary proposals from Friedman to Yeager, with its pros and cons. In conclusion, a great book to update and deepen your knowledge about money and banking.

Book Description

The idea of free (or laissez-faire) banking has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in recent years. It is a novel idea that challenges much of what many banking scholars still take for granted - that banking is inherently unstable, that the banking system needs a lender of last resort or deposit insurance to defend it in a crisis, and that the government has to protect the value of the currency. Against this free banking sets an argument which is in essence very simple: if markets are generally better at allocating resources than governments, then what is different about money and the industry that provides it and why? Laissez-Faire Banking is divided into three interelated sections, dealing with the theory of free banking, historical experiences of it and present-day monetary and banking reforms based on free banking principles.

Download Description

This documents the revival of free banking in recent years, combining chapters on the theory of laissez-faire banking, the historical experience of it and the solutions it might offer to current banking crises.

Book Description

Why and how has the business corporation come to exert such a powerful influence on American society? The essays here take up this question, offering a fresh perspective on the ways in which the business corporation has assumed an enduring place in the modern capitalist economy, and how it has affected American society, culture and politics over the past two centuries. The authors challenge standard assumptions about the business corporation's emergence and performance in the United States over the past two centuries. Reviewing in depth the different theoretical and historiographical traditions that have treated the corporation, the volume seeks a new departure that can more fully explain this crucial institution of capitalism. Rejecting assertions that the corporation is dead, the essays show that in fact it has survived and even thrived down to the present in part because of the ways in which it has related to its social, political and cultural environmental. In doing so, the book breaks with older explanations ground in technology and economics, and treats the corporation for the first time as a fully social institution. Drawing on a variety of social theories and approaches, the essays help to point the way toward future studies of this powerful and enduring institution, offering a new periodization and a new set of question for scholars to explore. The range of essays engages the legal and political position of the corporation, the ways in which the corporation has been shaped by and shaped American culture, the controversies over corporate regulation and corporate power, and the efforts of minority and disadvantaged groups to gain access to the resources and opportunities that corporations control.

Concise defense of free banking.......1997-12-03

An excellent introduction to free banking. Does not go into considerable depth on the history of the subject, but that is not a serious drawback as there exists other books that do.

The evidence presented against the Federal Reserve System is damning and the proposal for a transition back to free banking seems right on.

The annotated bibliography at the end is well worth the price of the book alone.

Book Description

Are investment bankers the responsible guardians of free-market capitalism that they would have us believe? Or are they something more sinister altogether . . . necessary but dangerous players in our free-market economy?

“Greed,” said Gordon Gekko in Wall Street, “is good.” But how good is it for capitalism if the major investment banks are basically an oligopoly, keeping their risks low and their profits artificially high? How good is it for companies that listen to their value-destroying advice? And how good is it for the average shareholder, who pays a huge price through portfolios that underperform and have a raft of hidden charges?

Philip Augar worked in investment banking for more than twenty years and has since become a gadfly to the industry on both sides of the Atlantic. His new book reveals exactly how the investment banks make their money by acting simultaneously for buyers, sellers, and themselves while carefully avoiding fee-based competition with one another.

Their cushy role in the financial world has finally been challenged by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer in the wake of the dot-com bubble. But only a former insider like Augar can go beyond the headlines to reveal how the system really works and why it matters to anyone who owns stock.

Informative but dry at times. .......2007-01-10

I do appreciate the author's sincerity of warning the public against the legal and moral problems of the greedy and corrupted investment banking industry. The author, an ex Group Managing Director of Schroder, had fully leveraged his insider experience and knowledge to explain why a handful of big firms continue to monopolize and thrive in the midst of heavy public and governmental scrutiny. Dont know whether the topic had been too serious or what, it fell into the same trap which caught "Infectious Greed by Frank Partnoy", that the writing seemed too descriptive or even dry at times. In case you want to read something relatively light, entertaining but still relevant, Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis, Fiasco by Frank Partnoy and Wall Street Meat by Andy Kessler are good choices.

Surprisingly Informative, sometimes dull though.......2006-12-06

This book is a very informative book and would prove useful for someone who wants a critical perspective on modern investment banking. The author's facts are based up with citations. Furthermore, he takes a very balanced approach to making his point, don't let the title fool you, the book is not as moralistic as its title. Occasionally, the writing lack vitality, but the author is not a professional writer, he is a veteran i-banker and this is probably as about as good writing as you are going to get out of a banker. His insider perspective is very useful and he tells it as it is without resorting to jargon.

My biggest concern is that this book takes too negative a view of investment banks. It seems to assume that investment bankers must play an altruistic role and look out for everyone's interest except their own. This is unrealistic, no other company does this. [......]

Hats Off For The Greed Merchants!.......2006-04-07

Few books honestly expose the investment banking game for what it really is. It is all about maximizing compensation for those who run the investment banks, regardless of the expense or toll it takes on ordinary citizens or an actual country.

Investment bankers and all Wall Street have an insiders edge and they use it to overcompensate themselves. Bankers and investment bankers have no qualms about looting investors, a company or country and driving it into bankruptcy so they can make their Christmas bonuses...

Philip Augar's The Greed Merchants: How the Investment Banks Played the Free Market Game is a wonderful and simple expose on all the inherent conflicts of interest in banking, whether it be commercial or investment banking.

I highly recommend it.

Sincerely,

Book Description

This book is written for the serious person of means who wants safety and performance from invested wealth.

No matter where you live or what economic and political hazards your country of residence presents to investment you owe it to yourself to consider Switzerland as the place to put your hard-earned money, especially in the Swiss insurance annuity. In my experience a comparison of the Swiss annuity with more traditional forms of asset protection shows that an annuity can serve the same function as trusts or similar legal devices but produces a far greater return for your money with complete safety and less complexity.

Here we are concerned with personal wealth, its creation, expansion and preservation. In that context it is not understatement to describe the Swiss financial system's unequaled world record as unique in combining investor safety with assured earnings. Thoughtful people who value financial freedom and asset protection know this well. The question is why any serious foreign investor fails to avail himself of the many benefits of the Swiss system. The answer is; the serious investor never fails!

Every person should plan for the important aspects of their financial life. One major area is estate planning which hopefully will insure that at the time of death property passes without incident according to the deceased's wishes. The second area is lifetime financial planning which seeks to build and manage an investable estate to provide assets and income. The third area, the one I will address, is asset protection, an indispensable element without which the other two can be rendered meaningless.

This is one of the first books to discuss the portfolio bond, an insurance product offered by companies in Switzerland, which offers significant asset protection, tax and privacy advantages for American investors.

Dated at best.........2004-03-10

While the root concepts explored in this book are somewhat relevant, the tone is bland and the info is quite out of date. The copyright is 2002 but the text was obviously written between 1991-92. There in no mention of the MLAT treaty which Switzerland has signed since this was published. Keep looking.

Outdated and not much info.......2004-03-03

Like Adam Starchild's book, "Swiss Money Secrets", this book does not mention any disadvantages or drawbacks of the subject - there are only advantages. Second of all, most of the information is outdated. Althought the book was published in 2002, nearly all the information came from 1992 or 1993. Falkayn is still talking about the "new" Clinton administration and is still describing the poor economy in the US - remember this is the early 90's.

A view on this book from an on location expert..........2000-04-23

A near excellent review of the Asian Crisis. Chapter 2 by Richard Cooper is especially good. Here in some 12 pages you can get a clear overview of what went wrong. Chapter 3 is a rather lengthy tedious study; the conclusions are clear however: mostly Asian corporate managers are to blame for the crisis. As they took on more and more financial leverage even while net profit margins kept sinking during the boom period of 1992 to 1996. Or at the very least "deficiencies in their risk managment practices greeatly exacerbated it" (the crisis).

What most of these type of books miss however is how large global institutional investors ignored values in SE Asia's stock markets. This in the fanatic pursuit of liquidity. It helped create ignoring of values and incredible overpricing of liquid equities here, until it all crashed.

Even while profitability of Asian companies deteriorated, p/e ratios on most stock exchanges kept rising due to foreign money coming in masses. If Asian managers are to fault, what does this say about global institutional investors? Why is this left out?
