The Issue with Chinese Astronomy (History: Fiction or Science? Book 21)

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

“History: Fiction or Science?” series of 26 books is the most explosive tractate on history ever written proving irrefutably that the timeline of the civilization takes into account only the irrefutably dated non-contradictory events and artifacts barely exceed 1000 years!

augustinSt Augustin was quite prescient saying; “..beware of mathematicians, especially when they speak the truth! “

ATF-21-Chinese_Astronomy-3dAncient China is a misunderstanding at best.
NASA research of earth-moon mechanics by astrophysicist Robert Newton leads mathematicians of MS U to a breakthrough in the chronology of civilization, China including.  ‘The Issue with Chinese Astronomy’ is that it just can’t serve anymore as a solid foundation of ‘ancient’ Chinese History. It looks that ‘ancient’ China is a misunderstanding at best. It is presumed to be exceptionally ancient, a lot more so than European history, and its datings are said to be perfectly reliable. The basics of Chinese chronology are believed to be so firm that it serves as a classic example of an indubitably ancient and reliable chronology. There is a popular misconception about Chinese chronology being based on the “ancient Chinese” astronomical records, which permit date the events of the “ancient Chinese” history without any ambiguity whatsoever. Dr.Fomenko wipes out this misconception.

CHRON1-3d-406x496-ChristEvery theory that these books contain, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book contains 446 graphs and illustrations, list of 1534 sources, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays. The dominating historical discourse was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late medieval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue!

CHRON2-3d-406x496-ChristYou will be amazed to discover: – That the chronology universally accepted today and taken for granted is simply wrong; – That ALL methods of dating ancient sources and artifacts known today are erroneous or non-exact; – That there is not a single document that could be dated earlier than the XIth century; The Author refers to the Middle Ages as the Antiquity and proves mutual superimposition of the Second and the Third Roman Empire, both of which become identified as the respective kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Furthermore, Dr.Fomenko asserts that the famous reform of the Occidental Church in the XI century by Pope Gregory Hildebrand was the reflection of the XII century reforms of Byzantine emperor Andronicus who in his turn identified with Jesus Christ. No stone in the history of Antiquity is left unturned. Literally.

CHRON3-3d-406x496-ChristPart I of this book meticulously dissects the Almagest of Ptolemy compiled allegedly in 150 a.d. and considered to be the cornerstone of classical history. Dr.Fomenko et al state: that Almagest was compiled in XVI-XVII cy from astronomical data of XI-XVI cy; the cornerstone is ground to powder. Ptolemy is a cover name of a group of late medieval astronomers. In Part II of ‘History: Fiction or Science?’ Dr. Fomenko et al are the first ever to successfully decode the allegedly ancient Egyptian horoscopes painted in Pharaoh’s tombs of the Valley of Kings or cut in stone in Dendera and Esna for centuries considered impenetrable are decoded at last! All dates contained therein turn out definitely medieval and pertain to the XI cy a.d. the earliest. Well, how old is ‘ancient’ Egypt actually?

CHRON4-3d-406x496-ChristWhy Antiquity and Dark Ages were to be invented?
The consensual world history was manufactured in Europe in the XVI-XIX centuries with the political agenda of powers of that period on the basis of erroneous clerical chronology elaborated by Kabbalist-numerologist Joseph Justus Scaliger and Dionysius Petavius. By the middle of the XVI th century the prime political agenda of Europe that reached superiority in Sciences and Technologies, but was still inferior militarily to the Evil Empire of Eurasia, was to free Europe. The concerted effort of European aristocracy, black and white Catholic clergy, protestants, humanists, and scientists in the XV – XVII th centuries in the creation and dissemination of the fictional Ancient World served this agenda.
