The Chronology Issue

“Human history becomes more and more, a race between education and catastrophe.” – George Orwell, 1920, Outline of History

All solar, and lunar eclipses mentioned in chronicles presumed to be written before the XVI century could not and did not take place at the very time and exact location reported to us by the ancient authors thereof, who did like so much to stress the importance of the event with some phenomena in the sky. Either the authors lied or were wrong, or both.

Verdict: either the events took place some other time and some other place or there was nothing spectacular in the sky at that very moment. “Astronomy vs History” crowns scores of years of meticulous and extensive research performed by the eminent mathematician Anatoly Fomenko and his colleagues. Points to some non-trivial conclusions about world history.
