History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

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.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

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.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

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.

Book Description

This book is the first comprehensive guide to the Moon's nodes--probably the most misunderstood points in astrology. The nodes are not planets, but the points on your birth chart where the orbit of the Moon around the Earth crosses the ecliptic. The nodes are the key to understanding your spiritual purpose for this lifetime. The South Node reveals the lessons, talents, and abilities you mastered in past lives, while the North Node shows you how to best use your past-life skills for spiritual growth, happiness, and success in this life.

The Complete Node Book presents a new and empowering perspective on the nodes. It defines and analyzes the specific lessons and challenges presented by each of the 144 possible placements of the nodes. Both sign and house placement of the nodes are considered for extraordinarily insightful and accurate interpretations.

For beginning astrologers, this guidebook provides easy-to-find personal interpretations and a free birth chart offer. For advanced astrologers, it will serve as the definitive reference manual on the Moon's nodes.

For advanced astrologers.......2007-09-26

For advanced astrologers only.

I have Kevin Burk's Complete Astrology book and like it quite well. His deft ability to combine astrology, psychology and new age spirituality in plain spoken language is refreshing. I had hoped for more of the same. However, I returned this book because nowhere in the description did it mention that it would be useless in the hands of an amateur astrologer such as myself. Luckily Amazon makes returns painless.

Good Book, Left Me Wanting...MORE!.......2007-06-08

I really enjoyed the writng style, the author has a clean, easy style of writing and conveying information. I especially appreciated the wya he broke the node descriptions into the houses they are in. That was a page of the "cookbook" you do not often see and added a new twist on the nodal interpretations.

That said, I wish there had been more of incorporating the nodes into the rest of the chart. Overall, I DO recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about working with the Nodes of the Moon in their astrological chart.

A Useful Textbook Style Reference Guide.......2005-09-20

I like the fact that I can easily identify the aspect, look it up and incorporte it into the Chart interpretation. One can definately tell that Kevin Burk is a teacher and a good one at that. He explains that the interpretations are his and not the only valid ones. The goal of the book is to help budding astrologers to acquire building blocks to understand and develope their own understanding and interpretation of the Moon's Node. This is an often misunderstood aspect of Astrology but Kevin Burke rises of the the challenge to promote understanding. This is a added deminision that I can include in my professional chart. Thank you Mr. Burk Namaste!!!!!!1

Is this THE complete node book ????.......2003-08-05

The Nodes are a subject in astrology that is quite difficult to understand. How to delineate these imaginary points and what do they mean ? I hoped to find an answer in this book by Kevin Burk. And partially I got an answer too. In his book, Kevin Burk analyzes the position of the nodes in the signs and houses, giving 144 placements. No other book gives these combinations, so this book is an interesting read. However the interpretations I found mediocre, there are books in other languages that give a much more insightful perspective. And if this should be the ultimate compendium or reference manual about the nodes, I would at least expect a chapter about the nodes in synastrie, a chapter about the nodes in progressions, the difference between the mean and the true node, other planetary nodes, transiting nodes to the natal chart etc... But no, these subjects are totally missing ! Only the transits to the nodes are mentioned in a very short chapter. So no, this is NOT THE guidebook about the nodes but mere a kind of a cookbook about the 144 placements of the nodes. Makes me think that the nodes are indeed quite difficult to grasp...

Pretty good...but may not be complete.......2003-08-05

I generally like Kevin Burks' astrology books (this book and his Understanding the Birth Chart book, especially). I wish these books were available years ago, they would have streamlined my library.

Book Description

An intermediate astrological text that focuses on the yod aspect and how it works in your chart. A yod is formed when two planets that are sextile (60 ) also form an inconjunct (150 ) to another planet. These planets are in different signs and modes and are deeply significant for they usually symbolize family patterns that have lasted for generations. Includes a complete discussion on how the energies of unaspected planets are expressed in a birth chart. Many case studies discussed. 28 charts. 8 figures.

AN ESSENTIAL SEARCH.......2002-07-20

This book provides a missing item found and portrayed to the best of its use in the feild of Astrology. Hither to the main stess was on Major Aspects like TRINE,SEXTILE,OPPOSITION,SQUARE & CONJUNCTION AND SEMI-SQUARE,SESQUI-QUADRATE, are also considered. But there was no clear attempt to explain about 150degrees, which is very common in all types of evaluation of the chart. Now KAREN HAMAKER-ZONDAG took all pains to illustrate the this aspect of YOD 150 degrees AND 30 degrees in its similarity.And it is explained in a very impressive way. It is a must to every astrologer. The beginner can start with a clear view and an experienced professional can make his analysis more indicating. I appreciate the work of Authors.

a book for good astrologers, very inetresting.......2002-03-03

The author knows well the subject, gives the reader a complete, thorough, and clear understanding of the Yod configuration.
it is difficult to find good books on the subject and more generally on astrology which bring a new way of looking at a chart, i suggest also 2 authors Alexander Ruperti, and Robert Hand excellent book " planets in transit"

A complete and thorough book, extending far beyond the Yod.......2001-01-10

This book gives the reader a complete, thorough, and clear understanding of the Yod configuration. More importantly, it gives a clear understanding of planets without aspects, (a much more common phenomenon in a chart) which I have not found in any other book. It is simply written, fully detailed and exemplified, and therefore very easy to understand.

Sun and Moon Signs.......2006-05-31

This is a great book to search out more in depth personality traits. This is a great book for learning about yourself and other people. A deeper understanding of human natures.

Takes things a bit deeper.......2002-07-06

I have been reading astrology books and horoscopes since I was kid. But most books only deal with the Sun Signs. By looking at the Moon Signs and the influence of Venus and Mars it puts things in a whole new perspective. The Romantic Compatibility section was pretty right on. It helped to understand the chemistries of past present and future relationships. It's a great library addition for anyone who enjoys understanding things from a cosmic perspective.

A book for everyone.......2001-07-02

I have to say that this book was one of the only books dealing with the zodiac that actually explains things in full detail and helps you along the way. Cainer doesn't sugar coat things or neglect issues. Everything in the book is easy to understand, yet so helpful in really making discoveries with your own zodiac signs as well as other peoples.

Fantastic Introductory Book of the Astrology.......2000-08-25

Jonathan Cainer, UK's top ranking astrologer, published an introductory book of the astrology. Even the people who are not familiar with the horoscopes can understand the basic ideas of the astrology. This book explains the meanings of the sun sign, moon sign, venus sign, and mars sign. Then it teaches us how to analyze the human characteristics based on the aspects between sun and moon, and venus and mars. You can also learn the way to examine the relationship between two people. Although serious astrological students may be disappointed with rather basic contents, I am sure that even they could be impressed with Jonathan's philosophical and profound expressions in many articles of this book.

Fantastic!!.......1999-08-21

I read this book all in one sitting, it took me about an hour and fourty five minutes or so, and I absolutely could not put it down. It takes you into relationship asrology (synastry) and "predicting the future" it was soooo wonderful I just loved it!!

Did someone call you a Dog today?.......2006-01-30

Before you snarl, bare your teeth and assume your attack position, please note that January 29, 2006 is the first day of the Year of the Dog in the Chinese calendar, and that it runs until February 16, 2007.

If by chance, you were born between the following dates, then doggone it - they were right about you all along.

Dog years:

Jan 28, 1922 - Feb 15, 1923
Feb 14, 1934 - Feb 3, 1935
Feb 2, 1946 - Jan 21, 1947
Feb 18, 1958 - Feb 7, 1959
Feb 6, 1970 - Jan 26, 1971
Jan 25, 1982 - Feb 12, 1983
Feb 10, 1994 - Jan 30, 1995

If you're older than this you can have someone look it up for you, but if you're younger, you're not a part of this litter of pups.

This interesting book is a great starter course on Chinese horoscopes. It's simple and fun to read, with lots of pictures and charts. It has pages and pages of information for each personality - rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig - including your element (metal, water, wood, fire and earth); your health; career; wealth; likes and dislikes; parent/child relationships; love partners; a comparison with your Western zodiac sign and famous people born in your animal sequence.

I have learned, for example, that Arthur Miller, King Henry V, Orson Welles and Billie Holiday are my Rabbit kin, and that theoretically at least, my son and I are on the same wavelength.

This book is worth reading just for the entertainment value, and would make a great gift for each of your friends, to prevent them from borrowing yours for extended periods.

Disappointed.......2003-08-15

I am an avid follower of chinese horoscopes and found Lori Reid's book to be very disappointing. Not much depth to her work at all! Saying it is concise is being kind. For the serious reader, I'd recommend the Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes by Theodora Lau.

Easy and Understandable, all my friends love it!.......2001-09-06

After purchasing this book and reading all about myself, I had to share this with my friends, who loved it! Its easy to understand, and I loved the tie in to the elements, and the little charts that described who love, friendship, and business matches. Great illustrations throughout. A fantastic book at a great price!!

This book contains all the pertinent information on basic Chinese Astrology. Easy to read and reference, and perfect even for the busy executive. I have given this book as gifts to the most unlikely people - busy, male, no-nonsense executive types who have loved it...
