What do you guys think about the New Chronology?
For the uninitiated, it states (along with other things) that much of recorded history resulted from the same events being duplicated and assigned an innaccurate date.

I've read some parts of the first volume and some related articles.The purpose of Fomenko's "New chronology" is to basically erase from history anything non-Russian.
Really. In his work "HOW IT WAS IN REALITY" he basically says almost everything relevant happened in Russia, was made by Russians or is somehow Russian related. Even the Samurai and the Aztecs were created by Russia, or Russia-Horde as he calls it.

That being said, some claims may have something to them.
Like the dating of events using solar eclipses. The Peloponnesian war apparently couldn't have happened during Antiquity but in Middle Ages because that's the only way it could match Thucydides's account.

The faked dynasties are also possible. Heribert Illig talked about this, also about how details about the Early Midlle Ages are illogical, but he doesn't go as far as Fomenko.

This, but I still like reading snippets of fringe ideas out of interest.

Here's some things about the subject of chronological revisionism
Pompeii may have been destroyed in the 17th century, not during Roman times, and many things assumed to be ancient Roman show Renaissance influence.

Gary Kasparov, a Fomenko supporter, claims Roman numerals are useless for complex mathematics

Phantom Time, early Middle Ages (600-900) never existed, moderate compared to Fomenko

Obviously take these with a huge grain of salt.
Is that the same Formenko who is also a mathematician and an artist?

When does this crank think history stopped being faked?
>>2887044
history doesn't only repeat itself, it loops because people in history usually didn't learn from general knowledge too well. technological advancement being valued over societal advancement is a concept which originated with the more intelligent writers of classical works and was invigorated by the Enlightenment.

Early to mid 17th century when the Russian Horde Empire broke apart.
The materials about Pompeii aren't connected to Fomenko, thought.

I think Fomenko was just trolling
It's a joke, son. A ruse to profit from the Russian's well cultivated obsession with deržaava. A twisted lark fuelled by idiocy and greed.
