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.

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.

Provocative, appealing and controversial.......2006-08-02

Fomenko has succeeded to convincingly demonstrate the misconception about what "history" factually is... It is fiction and -like we can read and judge for ourselves- no science. It indeed is "make belief" only. I "discovered" Fomenko while studying the "old" history of Al Andaluz, Spain. Having found too many contradictions in available data, having seen too many forgeries as to pretend the importance of christianity for its decline, I ventured out to find Fomenko, who convinced me that we know little if anything for sure of the epoch before the XI-century. However, the integration of the Arabic-Islamic cultural history into the heavily distorted Western fails... There are some attempts to fit "the budding new religion" (Islam) into Fomenko's scheme, but they are too weak to be taken seriously and too often focussing on Turkey as the region where things started to influence the West, which is untrue at all.
Islam certainly was no "new religion" in the X-century. That the highly cultivated Al Andaluz ruler Mohammed-I could have been "mirrored" down in time into some myth about the "illiterate" founder of Islam itself is highly speculative. Nevertheless, Fomenko convinces me about the processes that were involved in forging a christian history. Intriguing and controversial as his books are, I recommend them as to rethink our current position in time and space and simply verify what was claimed. It is a "good" book, but not for bedtime reading... Mundus vult decipi, the world wants to be cheated. Fomenko's readers will understand why.

pharaohs lived in the 3rd century AD.......2006-02-16

Traces of white wine were found in Tutankhamen's tomb however there were no record of white wine in Egypt until the 3rd century AD, 1600 years after the young pharaoh died according to the traditional chronology. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/being-human/mg18925395.400
It can be interpreted as a contribution towards New Chronology theory that pharaohs lived in the 3rd century AD.

Florence/Sienna map.......2007-03-17

The Rough Guide map of Florence and Sienna was easy to use. I could fold it anyway I wanted and when finished, fold it back to its original position. Rain made no impact. After lots of use, it still looks brand new.

Great map.......2006-08-06

This was the best map of Florence for our trip. It's waterproof and rip proof. The sleeve it comes in is also really helpful to carry it around in your bag or pocket. I used it in conjunction with the Florence and Tuscany (Eyewitness Travel Guides) and was extremely satisfied with both.

Like all Rough Guide maps, the Florence & Siena map is excellent.......2006-05-13

After using the excellent Rough Guide map of Barcelona, I purchase
Rough Guide maps when ever they are published for my destination. What I love
about these maps is that they are complete, accurate and very
tough. You can carry them around in your pocket, bend them and
sweat on them and they still remain as usable as ever.

This map has Florence on one side and Siena on the other (there
is a certain historical elegance for this choice). I did not
get a chance to test the map in Florence, but I did use it
during the five days I spent in Siena in April of 2006.

Siena, which competed with Florence for centuries, was finally
crushed by Florence and it took centuries for the city to recover.
As a result, Siena never developed the way Florence did and
much of the character of the old city remains, including the
original walls and the twisty streets with four or five story
brick buildings. This gives the streets of Siena the feeling
of a maze, since you can rarely see landmarks like the Siena
Duomo (cathedral). I constantly found myself going the wrong
direction. Even though Siena is small, I constantly used the
Rough Guide map while I was there.

Rick Steves' Italy 2007.......2007-05-26

Once Again - Absolutely BRILLIANT!

This book is an absolute must if you are planning a trip to Italia*

I so much want to see the whole of Italia one day - it is such a Beautifull country! I lived in Firenze in the 70's for a while but too young to appreciate it - now I want to take my husband to see this Beauty and looking through this book tells me all I need to know for that all important visit! I have looked at many books on Italia and this one shone through and seems to be the best / most informative. It is a must if you are visiting Beautifull Italia for the first - second - third ---------- time!

AN EXCELLENT GUIDE TO ITALY.......2007-05-26

Read it before travelling to Italy. It is very useful.

Great Travel Resource.......2007-05-22

My husband bought us another 'famous named' travel book for our upcoming trip to Italy...and I had difficulty reading it. I couldn't seem to get a clear picture of what I needed to know to visit this wonderful country.
Hence, after years of watching/reading Rick Steve's the original book went back to the local bookstore, and we bought this book.

Wonderful to read, lots of humor, great 'tips' on things you'll need to know while in this foreign land. I am now truly warned of the many pickpockets in the places we are going!! (they are just as bad in France, as we found out first hand a few years back!).
I have a feeling this book will be our guide when we land in Italy come this September!

Rick Steve's Italy 2007.......2007-05-22

This is a very thorough and concise book for anyone thinking about traveling to Italy. It is very easy to read and has lots of street maps for each city or town he writes about. He is down to earth and writes for the average traveler who wants to get the most bang for his buck. He is humorous and very very knowledgeable. He includes lots of historical and local facts and anecdotes.

This is going to be my second trip to Italy -- I only wish I had read his guide the first time!

OK but there's better out there.......2007-05-21

I will give the disclaimer outright that my husband and I prefer detailed maps. We like to explore and get away from the crowds. This map is not geared to that idea well. We purchased this map because it included Rome, Florence, and Venice and I'm a little concerned. We have an excellent map of Rome from a previous trip that is easy to read, large, and well labelled. This map is none of the above. Most streets aren't labelled and in twisting turning stair laden Rome, that could be not so good. I'm rather concerned about using this in Florence and Venice after comparing it to our Rome Insight Fleximap. If this is the only map you are going to rely on and you are going to Rome buy a different map. I will focus my critique on the Rome portion because I don't have any reference to compare the other 2 maps with. First of all the map is smaller than most, stopping before San Giovani in Laterno and even before circo maximo. Most of the Trastevere is also absent. The metro lines are not labelled well and there is no differentiation between the A & B lines. The map also leaves out many street names and the area East ofr termini station (where a lot of hotels and hostels are located is also cropped off severely. If this was the only map we had on our first excursion to Rome we would have purchased a better map there.

It is also paper so if it rains it might be toast. The better done, laminated maps are wonderful because you can mark your route and then rubbing alcohol it away for your next trip and use it as a bench cover in case of dirty or wet conditions and as an umbrella in a pinch.

If you want a basic, layout map or are using his guide book as a bible and only going to the marked locations on the map this could work for you. Just don't get lost or go outside the main area and make sure you stay in bounds and I suppose you could be ok. I wouldn't reccommend this map though. We're getting better maps for venice and florence. This is rather disappointing.
