Pharao,Moses,David,Solomon,Jesus relate to Middle Ages

We are accustomed quite well to thinking that the events described in the Bible - and especially in the Old Testament - date back to an epoch so distant that it can hardly be called "historical" in the usual sense. CLICK ON AMAZON LINK! We seem to know everything there is to know about these times and these characters, in particular that most of them date to epochs preceding the new era by a couple of millennia, and that the events described in the Bible took place in and around the Middle East for the most part. Could all of what we know be untrue? The big news is that it can, and is - the extensive research conducted by numerous Biblical scholars notwithstanding. Although the good faith of the latter can be doubted in quite a few cases, even the most scrupulous of scientists who ever had to tackle the gigantic array of data contained in the Bible were basing their research on the existing chronology - too obvious and self-implying to strike anyone as untrue. The sole exception to this is a group of mathematicians who have used the newest statistical methods to analyze the Bible from an altogether different standpoint, having revised the consensual chronology completely prior to that. The results are astonishing to say the least. We learn that the Biblical Jerusalem was in fact located on the Bosporus and known as Constantinople and that the Biblical kingdoms of Israel and Judah can be identified as the mediaeval Roman Empire - the familiar characters transform into their mediaeval doppelgangers which are a lot less familiar to us but known quite well to historians. And it is from the part of the historians that we hear the loudest and most indignant criticisms of the new research - a touch too loud, perhaps, and with too many ad hominem accusations scattered here and there for us to declare the new chronology a blatant and unscientific lie the way they urge us to. There's just too much vitriol and a surprising paucity of actual academic argumentation. The book of the mathematician Anatoly Fomenko may well be considered a revolution waiting to happen - but only if we let it to. Sheer force of habit and the all too human reluctance to question the "obvious" may render the most sensational and explosive results of scientific research null and void. No one likes a revolutionary, they're too much trouble, and whether or not they might in fact be right has got absolutely nothing to do with anything at all. Historians know history better than mathematicians, don't they? Pass the crisps. "History: Fiction or Science?" - Challenge to traditional history. Is it possible that Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were invented during Renaissance? Can it be that Jesus Christ was born in 1053 AD and crucified in 1086 AD? Scientific research points to the evidence that many modern beliefs of traditional history are a sham. "History: Fiction or Science?" by the eminent mathematician Anatoly Fomenko and his colleagues crowns 30 years of meticulous and extensive research. It is the first volume in seven comprising a "Chronology" that exposes numerous questionable notions of traditional history. "History: Fiction or Science?" describes how the contemporary chronological scale was created and by whom, with the culprits named as the 16th 17th century clergy. The well-known model of history has enjoyed the relentless attention of prominent critics ever since its creation including respected people like Sir Isaac Newton and Jean Hardouin, the court librarian of Louis XIV, the Sun King of France. Anatoly Fomenko dissects every historical age scrupulously and analyzes the data from every angle imaginable. Roman and Egyptian chronology take a good beating. Poggio Bracciolini and Petrarch take the blame for creating the beautiful legend of a mythical Classical age that never was. The Biblical events are brought a lot closer to us both historically and geographically. The Biblical Jerusalem is actually the medieval city of Constantinople. The New and the Old Testament swap their positions in chronological order and are shown to refer to medieval events. Using astronomy and statistics to back his theories, Fomenko delivers an abundant astronomical proof showing that the identified dates of 'ancient' eclipses are blatantly untrue. Fomenko explains the confusion between the Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and how the division between the two is merely imaginary. The book contains in-depth descriptions of the research methods used as well as the most meticulous rendition of the global chronological map with its numerous errors and glitches explained in a very level-headed manner. One doesn't have to be a mathematician to comprehend Fomenko's presentation. "History: Fiction or Science?" transforms history from fiction into a rocket science. It is a must read for everyone who isn't entirely indifferent to human history and possibly also for those who are.
