The Issue with Chronology

ATF-1-Chronology-3dThis research was actually a byproduct of Russian-American competition in Moon exploration.’ The issue with Chronology’ is the first volume in the series “History: Fiction or Science?”, the fundamental oeuvre that exposes and expounds on the numerous inveracities of the traditional version of history.

New Chronology theory is a major breakthrough in world history. It is also called a ‘fringe theory’ just like Darwin’s theory and genetics were at the beginning of the 20th century. The size of this breakthrough is very visible on a Wikipedia page consecrated to mathematician Anatoly Fomenko. Fatwas, condemnations, and refutations abound. Actually, Ph.D., etc, etc..simply included a Wiki page written by a crowd of furious mainstream historians in his Kindles. He says his team is ready to repent and retract if a couple of basic academic rules are met. Silence.

In “The Issue with Chronology” we are reminded of when the contemporary chronological scale was created and by whom, with the culprits named as the XVI-XVII century clergy that was in charge of all matters historical in that age.
We also learn that the consensual model of history had prominent critics ever since its creation – among them such names as Sir Isaac Newton and Jean Hardouin, chief librarian of Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, and collector of the Louvre museum.

The author dissects every historical age and analyses the data from every source imaginable – Roman and Egyptian chronology take a good beating, and it goes rapidly downhill from there. Poggio Bracciolini and Petrarch take the blame for creating the legend of a mythical Classical age that never was. Our perception of history begins to change dramatically even before we’re through with “The Issue with Chronology”.
