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.

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.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

"Some of the wisest words for investors can be found in this book, not only because of Curtis Montgomery's extensive studies but also by the fascinating framework he uses. Applying Chinese philosophy and particularly that of Sun Tzu to investing make a lot of sense. Sun Tzu's Art of War contains a great deal of wisdom applicable to investing and Montgomery illustrates this beautifully." - Mark Mobius, Managing Director, Templeton Emerging Markets Fund, Author of Passport to Profits and Mobius on Emerging Markets

"With this book, Curtis Montgomery has provided an enormous service to the investor and he stock market community. This book shows how to apply Sun Tzu's timeless understanding of strategy to the stock market. Drawing on examples from today, and based on lessons from the past, this book belongs on the bookshelf of every serious investor." - Franklin Lavin, U.S. Ambassador to Singapore "Investors from all cultures will enjoy Sun Tzu on Investing, as it makes relevant the universal paradox of business that strategy must be like water, with form yet formless, and most robust when it is least rigid. Such ancient Taoist insights are presented here in a fresh and entertaining style that will enlighten every investing mind." - Dr. Ron Sim, Chief Executive Officer, OSIM International Ltd.

"Few Westerners have such a deep grasp of the Taoist philosophy of Sun Tzu as Curtis Montgomery. By citing Buddha, Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Darwin and many other Montgomery unveils the profound depth of the Art of War. Read Sun Tzu on Investing and you are closer to Tao; the effortless way, winning without fighting." - Dr Foo Check Teck, Author of Reminiscences of an Ancient Strategist: Mind of Sun Tzu

Expensive, weak analogies and constant day-trader bashing.......2006-02-25

I am going to be in the minority here, and give the book a negative review. This book is only suited to those who have very little experience in fundamental analysis, or those who are a little interested in the Chinese culture. For those who want to learn about Sun Tzu's work, this is probably not a good place to start as the book covers only a small portion of it. Montgomery tries hard to make analogies between Sun Tzu's combat strategies and investment, but only manages to sound convincing half the time. Each new chapter will begin with Sun Tzu's philosophy. Parallels with investment strategies are made. The rest of the chapter would then concentrate on fundamental analysis. The sections of Montgomery's book on fundamental analysis are sound, and the case studies he cites are interesting. Investors who are new to investment would certainly enjoy stories of great investors such as Warren Buffet. The section on how to read financial statements is simple and will gently lead beginners into the area. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of the book is Montgomery's incessant criticism of technical analysis, day-trading, and swing trading. A biased one-sided comparison given during introductions should be enough to vent his apparent anger at day-traders. Instead, the author launches a fresh salvo every chapter, and enjoys associating technical analysis with tea leaves reading, and likes to take his time to equate day-traders with fools. I think a more grounded argument would have been preferable to petty name calling. One wonders why 1/5 of the book is spent on bashing people who don't do long term investments. A chip on his shoulder, perhaps? If he had any training in technical analysis, he would realise that Sun Tzu's philosophy of universal truths also applies well in that area. My advice: For the price of $30+ (current price), there are far better books on investment (fundamental analysis), and certainly much more enlightening ones on Sun Tzu. If you see this book going for $10 one day, buy it for a change from other investment books. This book is ideal for beginners who want to kill two birds with one stone.

Sun Tzu on Investment.......2003-11-30

Congratulation. A new standard has been set. Curtis J Montgomery has written a clear, concise and profound investment book based on the timeless wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art Of War. It is indeed exhilarating to read how the taoist understanding of human psychology (and by implication, the behaviour of capital markets)
as epitomised by Sun Tzu's the Art of War can contribute to superior investment (bottom fishing).

Invest in This Book!.......2003-11-03

Curtis Montgomery's Sun Tzu on Investing has helped me, a novice at investing, to see the simplicity and strategy involved in making wise investment choices. His use of Sun Tzu's war concepts, such as thinking independently, creativity, and patient planning make investing seem easy. I hope to apply these concepts to any of my future investments, and highly recommend this book to anyone interested in broadening their knowledge of the basic principles of investing.

Timeless Gems of Wisdom.......2003-10-29

It's amazing how the reasoning and the tactics of an ancient Chinese warrior apply to the modern day stock investor. The battlefields are different but the strategies sre the same. The author makes these comparisons in an easy-to-read style. No wonder he's known throughout Asia as the "Singapore Sage". It is a fine piece of work.

A long awaited invesment title.......2003-10-25

This book has showed how ancient war strategies can be put into practise in todays investment war field. There are illustration on some existing companies showing how Sun Tzu's strategies is being applied. A value add to investment knowledge.

Book Description

This thoroughly revised textbook is a basic introduction to plasma phenomena in solar and stellar coronae emphasizing non-MHD aspects. The natural way in which the author unifies observations and theory gives a wide perspective to the subject. An important feature is the lucidly written presentation of the fundamentals of plasma physics. The basic theory thus developed is then extended to some exemplary and important observations of coronal dynamics, such as coronal currents, particle acceleration, propagation of particle beams, and shocks.

The book has grown from teaching introductory courses on plasma astrophysics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). It addresses advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students without a background in plasma physics. It will also be of interest to more senior research workers involved in coronal physics of the Sun and other stars, solar/stellar winds, and various other fields of plasma astrophysics.

Customer Reviews:

very good book.......2007-02-14

This is a very good textbook about the nonlinear control of power systems. The first part is about general nonlinear control with emphasis on some control methods. Thease are mainly zero dynamics and feedback linearization with main reference on the textbook of Alberto Isidori.
The other part of the textbook is about the power system control.
Other advanced nonlinear control methods are missing in this book - such as backstepping control, sliding mode, etc. However, these can be found in other souces (e.g. Khalil, Krstic, Utkin) but with limited application to power system control. Hence, the main value of this textbook is in power system models developed for the control and applied using some advanced nonlinear control methods.
