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.

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.

Very Indepth Look of Societal Factors Affecting Education.......2006-03-01

This book was a required text for one of my Administration Credential courses. The text is timely as Tozer and others tie current perspectives regarding race, gender, social class, and politics to those of the past. Each chapter highlights at least one key figure that helped shape the educational landscape (e.g., Thomas Jefferson, Booker T. Washington, Robert Conant, etc.)In addition each chapter deals with the social climate (social theory/philosophy), the politics, and the economy of the time and their effects on American Education.

The text reads quickly and has a progressive slant. Yet it was very informative- almost to a fault. At times I felt I was reading a history text rather than an educational one. Overall, I would recommend this book to those interested in the forces that shaped the educational institution through history.

School and Society.......2001-04-29

Review: School and Society: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives reflects critically on the social significance teaching practices as well as institutional goals, and policies that surround and shape classroom procedure. The text also provides an understanding of contemporary educational processes and actively promotes critical thinking through its source readings and abstract inclusions (Tozer, 1998). There is great focus on diversity and equity throughout the text. Several views on how to provide an equitable and high quality education to an increasingly diverse school population are discussed. As well, curriculum and teaching practices are evaluated for effectiveness throughout the historical perspective of this text. The essence of this text was related through easy reading that was saturated with information relative to its content. An inside view on foundations of education were provided and as well, created an informational foundation for all educational processes in today's society. I found the text to be helpful in guiding my thoughts and ideas. The text also gave me clarification on many common educational practices.

American Education as Seen by Tozer, et. al.......2001-04-29

In School and Society: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives by Tozer, et. al., the authors present a comprehensive, historical, and contemporary perspective on the American education system. The book sought to guide the reader through the successes and the failures of a system that has its roots in Protestant ideology, and the accompanying pitfalls of such ideology. I find the book interesting in that it does not appear to whitewash the ills and the destructive paths taken by the leaders of the education system then and now. I find the history on the treatment of women and minorities very interesting. The text reinforces the idea that the more things change, the more they remain the same. It is my opinion based on the readings, that the American education system seem to be one destined for failure because of the practices of a system designed for only a few. I would recommend this book to all teachers because it presents a compelling history on the education system in America. A history that is not told too often.

School & Society: the growth of our educational system.......2001-04-28

If you have ever wanted to know how the United States' present day school system came to be, then School & Society: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives, by Steven E. Tozer, Paul C. Violas and Guy Senese, is a must read. The book covers the earliest public school system influenced by Thomas Jefferson up to the system that exists today. As equality and equity became a major focus, the system continually modified itself to meet the varying needs of diverse students, changing first to accommodate women, then African Americans and American Indians, and most recently, students with learning disabilities. The book also offers an in depth look at the major figures who were responsible for effecting these changes: Thomas Jefferson, Horace Mann, Emma Willard, Booker T. Washington, Edward Burghardt Du Bois, John Collier and James Bryant Conant.

I never stopped to think about how a society's ideology or system of beliefs can alter the educational system. This book showed me just how much change did occur once the United States began to see the treatment of all of its people as equals as a necessity. If you are a teacher, student, or parent of a student in a public or private school, or you just have an interest in this country's educational system, then this book has a lot to offer you.
