Fomenko's New Chronology

Reminds me a lot of that whole "middle ages never happened" conspiracy theory

But much more autistic. He claims they made up literally thousands of years of history. And it's based on cherry picked "statistical analysis" of dates and monarch reign lengths that's supposed to prove that history is just 4 copies of one set of events.

Also,
> For the New Chronologists, peoples such as the Ukrainians, Belarusians, Mongols, and others who assert their national independence from Russia, are suffering from a historical delusion.

>Official Russian history is a blatant forgery concocted by a host of German scholars brought to Russia to legitimize the usurping Romanov dynasty (1613–1917)

Why is Russian nationalism such strong blend of conspiracy theories and civilizational envy?

Pseudoscientific slavshit delusion.

Civilizational envy- Because their actual history is depressing mongol rape followed by despotism followed by despotism with nobles larping as frenchmen while everyone else practices sub-subsistence agriculture.

Conspiracy theories- Cynicism and paranoia from living under communism for 70 years with a substrate of good ol' peasant superstition.

Stop making this shit threads and fuck off to /x/!

I think the theory itself is an interesting historical and sociological artifact. Not suggesting it should be taken seriously in of itself, though it is fun to read about.

Fomenko is a world class mathematician. It's no surprise that histards, who have a meltdown whenever they see a data set or a formula, would deny the facts.

It's amazing, really. Basically nothing happened until about 1000, 1500 years ago tops according to him.

But he's not a historian. He can be a 300 IQ space travelling ghost but unless he uses proper historical methodology along with credible source criticism he will always stay a pseud.

>>2890895
He's also engaged in broad, creationist-tier denial of dating techniques and principles. As a mathematician he can try Eulering* people by saying "bla bla bla therefore 1+1 = 5 and historians are wrong" but it doesn't make it true and the significance of his refutation of uncontroversial scientific principles, if proven correct, would go far beyond his hopelessly myopic "new chronology"

So he's rediscovered Civilization Theory and added autistic paranoia?

This? Don't see what it has to do with Fomenko's crazy theories.
