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.

3 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

    2 out of 5 stars Great concept; poor execution.......2007-01-05

    This is a great concept: illustrate principles of physics using art and nature. Unfortunately, the execution is poor. The book's layout is dull, and the whole thing comes across as boring rather than fascinating. I had hoped to share it with someone who doesn't like science, but couldn't, because it would have turned him off even more. A great disappointment.

    5 out of 5 stars The Beauty of Physics.......2006-03-31

    "Categories on the Beauty of Physics" is a science book for the literary and art minded person. The book is an all around delight. The pages are heavy, glossy paper and all the original art and the reproductions are in full color.

    The book is composed of 39 "chapters." Each chapter is a term used in physics from acceleration to force to mass to work. The chapter begins with a passage from a book that illustrates the term under discussion. The passages come from science books and literature as well as philosophy and psychology. To give you an idea, Ben Franklin is used for electricity; "Don Quixote" for entropy; "Hamlet" for uncertainty. The passage is then followed by a dictionary definition of the term.

    Next is an original piece of collage art followed by a physicist's single page explanation of the concept, a list of related terms in the book, and the equation (if there is one). Next comes a section called "Think About It" that supplements the physicist's explanation and includes related themes. After this is "Read About It." This is my favorite section because it lists two or three books and sometimes films, that further illustrate the concept. All recommended materials were verified by the editors to be readily found in libraries and bookstores. To be sure, quite a number of science books are suggested, but none of them are textbooks or for a specialized audience. But not all of the books are science books. For example, in the chapter on energy, the books recommended are "Nuclear Madness: What You Can Do" by Helen Caldicott and "Physics for Poets" by Robert March.

    The "Read About It" section is followed by "Talk About It." Here can be found questions to ponder and discuss such as a few found in "Entropy" which ask "Is decay always undesirable? Can entropy be seen as the progression from whole to particulate? Are rare objects precious because they cannot be remade or regenerated?"

    Once your brain is whirling from the questions, there is a photo of a work of art that further illustrates the term. For instance, Mary Cassatt's "The Bath" is used for the "Orbit" chapter.

    The chapter concludes with a short "review" of the book from which the chapter's opening passage was taken. At the back of the book, the editors kindly provide a bibliography that includes all of these books as well as all of the books from the "Read About It" sections. And let me just say, my TBR list has several new additions.

    What I liked about this book is that it not only makes the concepts easy to understand, but it also provides a wider context for them. I've not come across any other book that can bring a concept like "particle" to life in science (atoms, electrons, dark matter), art ("A Sunday in La Grande Jatte" by Seurat) and literature ("Swann's Way" by Proust). It really shows the interconnections between art and science and just how much they depend upon each other. "Catergories on the Beauty of Physics" is definitely worth your time.

    5 out of 5 stars Explaining the Music of the Spheres........2006-03-30

    Several years ago a friend tried to explain to me the beauty he found in Mozart. Being somewhat deaf and with little understanding or appreciation of music, his comments fell on deaf ears (so to speak). I, in turn, attempted to explain to him the beauty I see in Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the music of the spheres, so to speak. He couldn't appreciate what I saw any more than I could appreciate what he heard.

    This book attempts to bring together the prominent theories in physics with art, with literature, with life. You won't come away from this book ready to conduct research into the big questions in partical physics or the characteristics of a neutron star. But maybe, just maybe you can see the beauty that resides in the work of scientists over the centuries. Maybe you can see the connections you didn't see before. And maybe you will go on to looking for sub-atomic particles.

    Oh by the way, this is physics at a conceptual standpoint, you don't need to know the tensor calculus that Einstein used to develop his theories.

    5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Springboard for Discussion.......2006-03-01

    Having taught art and science, I have come to appreciate the difficulties inherent in relating theories to students. It is a real bonus to find a book which so thoroughly unwinds concepts that have the propensity to confound. "Categories" is highly complex in its message, yet beautifully simple in its presentation. It is a perfect springboard for discussion among friends, or in the classroom. There are some brilliantly easy explanations for physics concepts, and I rejoice in the clarity and color of the simple, yet complex, collage illustrations. I found myself wanting to show them to anyone who was within reach, and I would love to see them as posters in art and science classrooms. This is a source book that will remain on my desk for a long time.

    5 out of 5 stars Important, Original, Accessible, Lovely Book.......2006-02-15

    This marvelous book offers to the reader a seductive marriage of ideas, at once original and so "right" that suddenly it seems the only way to view art and science. As a science teacher I want all my colleagues and students to get to know Categories on the Beauty of Physics. Particularly impressive: once the artwork gets and holds the eye and the mind, then the science writing seems so accessible that the whole intellectual sensation is one of joyous comfort with the broad ideas and deep concepts of physics. Also important: the reader can put the book down often, or open it to any page, or read it for long periods at a time, and get the same rush of recognition of rightness. Additionally, John Morse's artwork is gorgeous in its own right and edifying to the concepts.

    Do you guys know that this book sells in Europe for about 70 bucks? That's HALF its price in the US and about the right price it should have. Then why does it sell for twice as much in the US? Because of the "cooperation" between publishing companies and colleg professors who force thier college students to spend unbelievable sums to get textbooks. I understand (but don't justify) the greedy publishing companies behavious, but why do college professors allow these crooks to go on with this business?

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent to get the primer.......2006-07-05

    Excellent if you are new to physics and need a straight forward text. The exercises will get to the point and are easy to follow. The shipments were fast and the condition of the book was good.

    5 out of 5 stars Honors problem anyone?.......2006-05-06

    This book is straight to the point. I mean this book would give you the most important concepts in Physics. The good thing about this book is that the exercises and problems are REALLY challenging. It would require you an absolute understanding of the concepts and great mathematical skills. If you don't have the solutions manual. From what I know the exercises and problems given in a Physics Olympiad is based from this book. Some of the question. So if you want to sharpen your skills in Physics I suggest this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Still alive and well.......2006-03-28

    More than thirty years ago, when I was an engineering student, my physics "Bible" was Halliday & Resnick, Physics for Students of Science and Engineering, 1st Edition. This is a book that has aged gracefully. While the basic physics concepts were retained, the examples have been updated in each revision to keep up with the technology advances. Now in its seventh edition since Walker started to collaborate with the previous authors, it is still one of the most enjoyable readings in elementary physics. I recommend it without reservation.

          5 out of 5 stars Small but full of the right info........2007-09-20

          I purchased the book, because it was required for a class (among other books) that I am attending in the graduate school (a refreshment course for people that has been away from college for a while). The definitions are short and to the point; clear and precise. So far I have found two typos, but I guess that means that the refreshment is working. In sumary, It is a great book, highly recommended.
