The Flowing of the Dao

I was surfing around YouTube last night and came across this fellow named mithec. Mithec has posted many videos advertising a book by famous Russian mathematician Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko about a theory of his called New Chronology.

I found it fascinating and, as I tend to do with luminaries who promote ideas that are shit on by the “establishment,” have made it a consideration of mine to read more into Dr. Fomenko’s theories.

What follows are the first two paragraphs for the “New Chronology” entry from everyone’s most reliable online encyclopedia: Wikipedia …

The New Chronology of Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko is an attempt to rewrite world chronology, based on his conclusion that world chronology as we know it today is fundamentally flawed. The ideas of the New Chronology are a direct continuation of earlier ideas of Nikolai Morozov, and may have had their origin in the theories of the French scholar Jean Hardouin. The chronology is commonly associated with the name of Fomenko, although it is, in fact, a collaboration of Fomenko with several other Russian mathematicians, including Gleb Vladimirovich Nosovsky.

The “New Chronology” is radically shorter than the conventional chronology, because all of ancient Greek/Roman/Egyptian history is “folded” onto the Middle Ages, and Antiquity and the Dark Ages are eliminated. According to Fomenko, the history of humankind goes only as far back as AD 800, we have almost no information about events between AD 800-1000, and most historical events we know took place in AD 1000-1500.
