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

No one can deny that the world is in trouble. Tragedy stalks our streets. Violence and bloodshed fill the news. How do we explain so much chaos? Is there any hope for peace in our time? Dr. David Jeremiah's dramatic narrative on the Book of Revelation answers these and many more challenging questions, by unraveling the imagery and explaining the significance of the events described in the last book of the Bible. Within its pages are the hope and encouragement we need to lift us from the gloom of present events to the promise of a brilliant future.

God's final victory.......2007-06-27

Escape the night is a book that takes some of the mystery out of the book of Revelation. It of course parallels the scripture but helps the reader understand Gods ultimate plan for the world. You should read the book of Revelation but if you are struggling, this work by Dr. David Jeremiah will be of great help!

Escape The Coming Night.......2007-01-04

I got so much from this book that I ordered it for a 90 year old Christian friend. She tells me that it is the best book on prophecy that she has ever read and she keeps going back to it.

Nonacademic, Storytelling Approach to Explain Book of Revelation...........2006-08-18

Dr. Jeremiah in this book, as in his Turning Point television broadcast, uses anecdoctes in explaining scriptural truth, in this case the book of Revelation. Even though Jeremiah is right on theologically, his story-telling style might be frustrating for readers who want to get straight to the verses, word study, context, and just a more academic approach to understanding Revelation. On the other hand, people who enjoy Bible-based fiction or those who just don't want to strain their brain with study, might appreciate being introduced to Revelation through this book. If you like this book, I'd recommend Jeremiah's HANDWRITING ON THE WALL, which is a similar style commentary on the Old Testament book of Daniel, and which would actually be helpful to read first, since some of Revelation is based on Daniel. For those wanting a more academic approach to Revelation, I recommend Ryrie's more academic REVELATION as accessible to the beginner, and still more detailed would be the commentaries of Walvoord, Robert Thomas, or even Newell. All of these, like Jeremiah, hold to the conservative, evangelical "pre-trib, pre-mil" endtimes view that the rapture will take place before ("pre") a 7-year tribulation before a literal millial (i.e., 1000 years) reign of Messiah on Earth.

"Right up there with 'Dragons, Grasshoppers, & Frogs' as best in class!".......2005-12-18

While not every word of the tape series in contained in the book, this book is nevertheless one of the best on Revelation. Until I read "Dragons, Grasshoppers, & Frogs", I thought this was the easiest commentary on the book. But "Dragons" is specifically written for teens and newbies, and is quite a bit more practical and better organized.

Jeremiah is premillennial and pretribulational. If you are not of that persuasion, you will be really disappointed--not to mention confused. I am, so I wasn't.

Highly recommended.

A Companion to the Book of Revelation.......2005-10-09

A companion to the Book of Revelation, ESCAPE THE COMING NIGHT, takes much of the guess-work out of interpreting one of the most difficult books in the Bible. His easy-reading, yet didactic, writing style makes David Jeremiah one of today's most popular experts on prophecy. This book is anything but discouraging and full of doom; on the contrary, it is full of hope for those who understand its message. J. Lawyer

Great, even for begginers.......2002-03-13

This was the first thing I got after I bought the rulebook. and its great, I unlike many, am very new to rpg's in general, but armed with the rulebook, the many novels i read, and this book, I am already taking on storytelling myself. It gives detailed information and tips for the storyteller, including ideas and strategies to accomodate changes you wish to make yourself and some alternate routes to have in case you players get a little off track. one of the stories, the Succubus club, is great, as it is possible to take place in any city, and can include those party members who choose to be some of the clans that are not usually in the plot. as they can be guests at the club.
all in all great read... i almost want to stop reading so i could play it myself.

Here we have an example of the RIGHT way...........2000-07-14

This supplement for VtM offers five very relevant game adventures. Two stories deal with two relatively new toys in the World of Darkness- the Kindred of the East and the Hunters. Another gives the players' characters front row seats for the destruction of Baba Yaga. There is a free form night club story which might be a good way to generate ideas for how things should go after the big realignment of the East Coast cities. Yet another story is set in the Sabbat city of Montreal and updates that setting- one of my favorites. Las Vegas and San Francisco are also developed in the Hunters and Kuei-jin stories respectively. I haven't playtested any of this material but it looks very, very good.

The section innocuously titled "Introduction" is a real gem. This deals with something called the "metaplot"- the overarching storyline of the World of Darkness. (The CLAN NOVEL series is based on the metaplot and so are THE TRANSYLVANIA CHRONICLES.) It discusses several important developments- the current problems facing the Assamite and Ravnos clans, the destruction of the Tremere antitribu (including some insights about the whole Tremere-Saulot thing) and gives a blow by blow on the Fall of New York to the Camarilla. You need to read this if you want to keep up at all.

A good thing about this is that alternate possible scenarios are frequently offered- different reasons why things are happening, for example. This book also backs off somewhat at a couple points from insisting that any player characters of certain clans would have to be destroyed in certain situations. The metaplot described here also diverges in small ways from what was described in the CLAN NOVEL series (so far) and in the TRANSYLVANIA CHRONICLES. There's a certain fuzziness in which there's plenty of room for storytellers to make their own decisions. I hope no one takes it into his or her head to fix that.

A word about this whole metaplot thing. When official game materials declare even one important storyteller character destroyed or give even a small glimpse of an Antedeluvian's machinations, it can go a long way in terms impact on existing storyteller chronicles. I'm currently really enjoying the metaplot but I can see that there's going to be a limit. Right now, I've got enough ideas from it to last me a couple lifetimes and it's great. At some point, though, anxiety about taking my chronicle in a direction that turns out to be at odds with furture developments in the metaplot is either going to get very inhibiting or I'm going to end up saying "to heck with the metaplot". In general the more open-ended, supportive way the metaplot was handled in this book was very encouraging.

Perfect for a storyteller.......2000-05-19

This book is a combination of 5 seperate stories about events that are happening in the current years. The stories include the death of Baba Yaga, return of the succubus club and even a Kuei-jin interaction story between them and the kindred. I definately recommend the book. You seriously can't go wrong if you are a story teller or a wanna be. Best of all they also provide sweet sections on extra sub-stories to be added and how it can be handled. Sub-stories include the way the assamites broke the curse, the way Salout and Tremere interact for clan control and even the way camirella took back New York plus more.

Simply put....I really liked the book.

Whats new in the world of darkness!.......2000-03-31

This book is great! It tells you whats up with the kindred in the nights of impending Gehenna.I don't want to ruin it for you, but it's a great sourcebook for storytellers who want to keep up with the current setting of the game. A must have for vampire enthusiasts.
