Nutjob? We report, you decide:
“Fomenko is a supporter of drastically revising historical chronology. He has created his own revision called New Chronology, based on statistical correlations, dating of zodiacs, and by examining the mathematics and astronomy involved in chronology.
Fomenko claims that he has discovered that many historical events do not correspond mathematically with the dates they are supposed to have occurred on. He asserts from this that all of ancient history (including the history of Greece, Rome, and Egypt) is just a reflection of events that occurred in the Middle Ages and that all of Chinese and Arab history are fabrications of 17th and 18th century Jesuits.
He also claims that Jesus lived in the 12th century A.D. and was crucified on Joshua’s Hill; that the Trojan war and the Crusades were the same historical event; and that Genghis Khan and the Mongols were actually Russians.”
Yeah, he’s a nut. I went through the first of his books detailing his theory ( I believe there are 6 or 7 volumes; and they are all HUGE VOLUMES). Quite frankly the guy is crackers. He believes our entire understanding of history is nothing but a papal-Jesuit conspiracy. I never did discover how he explains why even non-Catholics agree on the chronolgy of history!
