Product Description
`History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2` is the second volume of the most explosive and astounding tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by rock solid scientific data. The book is easy and pleasant to read; it is well-illustrated, contains hundreds of charts, graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays. You will be amazed to discover: - That the chronology universally accepted today and taken for granted is simply wrong; - That ALL methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts known today are erroneous or non-exact; - That there is not a single document that could be reliably dated earlier than the XIth century; The Author refers to the Middle Ages as the Antiquity and proves mutual superimposition of the Second and the Third Roman Empire, both of which become identified as the respective kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Furthermore, he asserts that the famous reform of the Occidental Church in the XI century by Pope Gregory Hildebrand was the reflection of the XII century reforms of Byzantine emperor Andronicus who in his turn identifies with Jesus Christ. The Trojan war counted by Homer happened only as late as of the XIII century A.D. and the great poet actually lived in XIV century A.D. No stone in history of Antiquity is left unturned. Literally. This book is the beginning of a major correction to the chronology we live with.

I don't care what other people say of this book. Those affirmig it's fake, they hadn't ever read it. Or have some special reasons to do so. "Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see..." This book won't make you feel comfortable. It'll make you feel free. It'll make you feel you're "not the only one" to feel you'd been lied to for centuries.
Suprise! Suprise!.......2007-03-22
Here is a serie of books which turns "the whole world" upside down. I learned a lot of it and I hope that a new book from A.T. Fomenko will follow very quick. A absolute must for everybody who is interested in history or even a little bit from it.
Prescient St Augustine?.......2006-02-05
We can so far divide the New Chronology into the following three parts:
a) The verifiable theory that proves consensual chronology wrong with the aid of astronomy, statistics and mathematics;
b) The new chronology hypothesis based on a new understanding of known historical facts and the most likely logical explanation of the most obvious inconsistencies inherent in the official version of history;
c) The history conjectures, that is experimental historical reconstructions based on assumptions that the authors believe to make sense in the light of their research and linguistic parallels - void of ironclad factual support to date.
Fomenko's theory complies with the most rigid scientific standards as a whole:
It gives a coherent explanation of what we already know.
- It is consistent: independent lines of inquiry all lead to the same conclusion.
- The predictions it makes are confirmed empirically.
Fomenko goes by the following axioms:
- Chronology is the basis of history;
- Human evolution has always been linear, gradual and irreversible;
- The "cyclic" nature of human civilization is a myth, likewise all the gaps, duplicates, "dark ages" and "renaissances" that we know from consensual history;
- The accumulation of geographical knowledge as reflected in cartography is a gradual and irreversible process;
- The chronological distance between a given manuscript and the events described therein is proportional to the amount of distortions it contains;
- There is no "useless" information in authentic ancient sources.
Why the mainstream historians do not shower mathematician Academician Dr.Prof Fomenko with thanks and laurels?
The Russians:
Because Fomenko asserts that there was no such thing as the Tartar and Mongol invasion followed by three centuries of slavery, providing a formidable body of documental evidence to prove his assertion. The so-called "Tartars and Mongols" were the actual ancestors of the modern Russians, living in a bilingual state with Arabic spoken as freely as Russian. The ancient Russian state was governed by a double structure of civil and military authorities. The hordes were actually professional armies with a tradition of lifelong conscription (the recruitment being the so-called "blood tax"). Their "invasions" were punitive operations against the regions that attempted tax evasion. Fomenko proves that Russian history as we know it today is a blatant forgery concocted by a host of German scientists brought to Russia by the usurper dynasty of the Romanovs, whose ascension to the throne was the result of coup d'état, charged with the mission of making their reign look legitimate. Fomenko proves Ivan the Terrible to be a collation of four rulers, no less. They represented the two rival dynasties - the legitimate rulers and the ambitious upstarts. The winner took it all! Over some 30 years of controversy, Russian historians have made a most remarkable transition - they were initially accusing the young mathematician Fomenko of anticommunist dissident activity and attempts to deface the historical legacy of Soviet Russia; nowadays the middle-aged mathematician is accused of adhering to "pro-communist Russian nationalism" and defacing the proud historical legacy of Great Russia.
The Westerners:
Because Fomenko blows consensual Russian history to smithereens, successfully removing a crucial cornerstone from underneath the otherwise impeccable edifice of World History. Fomenko adds insult to injury, wiping out one by one the Ancient Rome (the foundation of Rome in Italy is dated to the XIV century A. D.), the Ancient Greece and its numerous poleis, which he identifies as the mediaeval crusader settlements on the territory of Greece, and the Ancient Egypt (the pyramids of Giza become dated to the XI-XV century A. D. and identified as the royal cemetery of the Global "Mongolian" Empire, no less). The civilization of the Ancient Egypt is irrefutably dated to the XII-XV century A. D. with the aid of the ancient Egyptian horoscopes cut in stone. He was the first one to decipher and date all such horoscopes, coming up with mediaeval dates in every case. English historians rage at the suggestion that the history of Ancient England was de facto a Byzantine import transplanted to the English soil by the fugitive Byzantine nobility. To reward the English historians who consider themselves the true scribes of World History, the cover of the present book portrays Tintoretto's Jesus Christ crucified on the Big Ben.
The Chinese:
Because Fomenko wipes out the Ancient History of China outright. No such thing. Full point. The compilation of the so-called Ancient Chinese History is reliably datable to the XVII-XVIII century only. It is perfectly recognizable as the Ancient European history, reworked and transcribed in hieroglyphs as yet another historical transplantation, this time performed on the Chinese soil by the loving Jesuit hands. The Chinese are the next in line to go berserk. Chinese history is inevitably bound to get both more ancient and more eventful, proportionally to the growing involvement of China in the world affairs. Chinese historians will keep on finding valid proof of prehistoric Chinese spaceflights until the Politburo orders them to shut up.
The Arabs:
Too bad. Islam with all its key figures is datable to XV-XVI century A. D. Arabic historians may find consolation in the crucial historical role of the Ottoman Empire in the XVI-XVII century. The trouble is that this empire was initially a Christian state, with Hagia Sophia identifiable as Temple of Solomon, according to Fomenko! We can only guess if the acquisition of Alexander the Great (a Macedonian and a Christian) as the founder of the Muslim World Empire will make Fomenko's theories more acceptable to the Arabic mainstream. He certainly does not spare any holy cows at all, claiming The Stone of Qa'Aba in Mecca to contain the lost Arch of the Covenant.
The Divinity:
Despite of reiterated statement that his theory is all about chronology and not Religion, Fomenko stirs up a whole condominium of wasp nests. His collection of anathemas, fatwa, and other condemnations from all parties concerned is already considerable. Little wonder, considering that the history of religions à la Fomenko looks as follows: the pre-Christian period (before the XI century and JC), Bacchic Christianity (XI-XII century, before and after JC), JC Christianity (XII-XVI century) and its subsequent mutations into Orthodox Christianity, the Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism, and so on.
According to Fomenko we know strictly NOTHING about the events that predate the X century A. D.
St Augustin was prescient when he spoke unto us: "be wary of mathematicians, particularly when they speak the truth."
Something of a disappointment.......2005-09-09
After having read the first volume of this expected series of 7 volumes I was triggered by the thesis of these authors that ancient Greek and Roman history did in fact take place in the Middle Ages. So I started studying medieval history of the Middle East - also known as Islamic history - to find out if the opponents of the ancient Greeks and Romans - the Acheamenid Persians, Sassanids, Scythians, Egyptians, etc. - also have their duplicates in medieval history. My search was disappointing: none of the many medieval Islamic dynasties seemed to correspond to the ancient middle eastern rulers.
However, I did find a close correspondence between Herodotus' Persian kings and medieval events:
- the defeat and capture of an Anatolian king - the Lydian Croesus - by the Persian conqueror Cyrus is identical to the defeat and capture of another Anatolian king - sultan Bayezid - by the Asian/Mongol conqueror Tamerlane;
- the Persian conquest of Egypt by the cruel tyrant Cambyses reds almost exactly as the Ottoman conquest of Egypt by Selim the Grim (note the nickname!);
- Darius the Lawgiver of the Persian Empire looks very much alike to Sulayman the Magnificent, the Lawgiver in Islamic history;
- Xerxes, whose main claim to fame is to be defeated by the Greeks at the naval battle of Salamis, looks like Selim II (the Sot) whose main claim to fame is to be defeated by a Spanish-Italian alliance at the naval battle of Lepanto.
I should have expected Fomenko et al. to arrive at similar conclusions, however, they claim that the Persian kings are the alter egos of the Angevin kings of Sicily whose biographies do not contain the exploits of the Persian kings.
The similiarities I indicate lead to the conclusion that Herodotus must have written his Histories at the close of the 16th century. But this is extremely late, given that Herodotus is "the Father of History", so therefore all other "ancient" histories must have been fabricated even later. Yet, the founders of modern chronology - Scaliger and Petavius - laid their foundations also at the close of the 16th century and had the full corpus of ancient histories already at their disposal.
It seems to me that Fomenko has to address these inconsistencies, maybe in the forthcoming 5 volumes?
Another critique of their book is that the correspondencies between different rulers are often based on a superficial comparison of the biographies; upon a more thorough comparison many details appear that do not correspond at all.
Finally, the authors rely heavily on the works of Gregorovius (1821-1891!!) - his medieval histories of Rome and Athens - as the source of medieval history; these works are - at least in the West - hoplessly outdated and have been superceded by more up-to-date works (for instance, Julius Norwich's trilogy on Byzantine history is not even cited).
Romulus courts Helen, Paris founds Rome, Moses goes to Troy.........2005-07-30
If you agree with Fomenko that Roman chronology is basically the foundation of the entire edifice of global chronology; you would also certainly agree that despite its numerous gaps and inconsistencies, Roman history is the best-documented field of ancient history, and thus a reference scale. But how well is the actual date of the Eternal City's foundation known?
Firstly, Rome is supposed to have been founded by the Trojans who had to flee after the fall of Troy. Some claim Rome to have been founded by Aeneas and Ulysses shortly after Troy had fallen; others are of the opinion that there was an entire dynasty that ruled for 500 years between the fall of Troy and the foundation of Rome.
Well, that's just an innocent 500 years long misunderstanding compared with what heretic Fomenko says, asserts, proves in his second volume: Second Roman Empire, Third Roman Empire, Biblical Kingdom of Israel, Biblical Kingdom of Judah, Holy Roman Empire are stories about basically same events, written from different points of view at different times. The underlying events have actually taken place during xii-xv cy. These histories have been written and perfected by multitude of highly talented humanist and clerical writers of xiii-xvi cy disguised as "ancients" with glorious names like Homer, Pluto, Thucydides etc..Chronology 2.0 beta..
Historians are kindly invited to report the bugs.

Book Description
Introducing new debates and new theorists, this collection provides a broad cross-section of contemporary Shakespearean studies, including psychoanalysis, sexual and gender politics, race and new historicism.
Book Description
Like the companion volume for men, Alternative Shakespeare Auditions for Women brings together fifty speeches from plays frequently ignored such as Coriolanus, Pericles, and Love's Labours Lost. It also features good, but over-looked speeches from more popular plays such as Diana from All's Well That Ends Well, Perdita from The Winter's Tale and Hero from Much Ado About Nothing.
Each speech is accompanied by a character description, brief explanation of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases and references--all written from the viewpoint of the auditioning actor. It is the perfect resource for your best audition ever.
Customer Reviews:
A great guide to offbeat Shakespeare--- NO BALCONY SCENES!.......2001-04-16
This book is attractive, sturdy and is formatted well. That being said, the content is equally stellar. The author knows a lot about each piece, and provides the background you need to make the character come alive at an audition, or just in your mind for reading. There are footnotes to the language that are useful, and the speeches themselves are constructed nicely and are good choices for any level of Shakespeare performer. MY only complaint, which isn't that important, is that the characters are not studied with as much depth as you would like if you were reading this book for literary pleasure. But it does give this book as an actors guide a sense of poetic freedom and freedom of creativity. Also good is the next volume "MORE Alternative Shakespeare Auditions for Women." Don't expect Juliet scenes or Beatrice monologues--- the "alternative" characters and speeches of Shakespeare get their 15 minutes! Recommended for anyone who has every wanted to be a Shakespeare "snob" at auditions and freshen up your Bard inventory. :O)
Very usefull!.......2000-06-29
I found this book indispencable as an actress. Many auditions call for alternative shakespearian monologues and this book has many good monologues combined with essential study notes.
Book Description
Auditioners often complain of seeing the same speeches over and over again. In Alternative Shakespeare Auditions for Men, Simon Dunmore has drawn on his experience as a director to select and edit a collection of fascinating, fresh, and unusual speeches from Shakespeare's plays.
Dunmore brings together fifty speeches for men from plays frequently ignored such as Titus Andronicus, Pericles, and Love's Labours Lost. It also includes good, but over-looked speeches from the more popular plays such as Octavius Caesar from Antony and Cleopatra, Leontes from The Winter's Tale and Buckingham from Richard III. With character descriptions, brief explanations of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases and references, it is the perfect source for a unique audition.
Customer Reviews:
A great resource for any aspiring classical actor.......1998-05-23
I thought that this book was excellent resource for a number of different reasons. First, Mr. Dunmore, a director himself, provides a list of monologues which are far too frequently used (I found this list invaluable). It not only has some of the monologues you would expect to see on a list of this type (Hamlet, Hal/Henry V, Iago etc.), but also some other characters you wouldn't think would be used that frequently: Clarence, Aaron, Launcelot Gobbo and others. Also, I think that Dunmore provides a nice introduction for actors who are new to Shakespeare with a resource guide in the beginning of the book discussing some of the inricacies of speaking Shakespeare. Lastly, I thought all of the monologues (which I thought might have been edited a little more precisely; I didn't like some of the punctuation) were well laid out and gave a nice (but brief) insight into the characters and some of them give suggested age ranges (though I would have loved to have seen this throughout the book). A terrific resource, nonetheless, for any aspiring classical actor who doesn't want to be the hundredth actor to do Puck at an audition.

Quite a ride!.......2007-10-02
For those who are into Shakespeare, and who would maybe like to see him as even more of a world-shaker [small pun there, absolutely intended], pick this book up and see how he saves England from Spain [or nearly like, anyway]! Turtledove, as has been said by many people many times, is a master of the alternate reality tale--if not THE master... with a capital "M"! This was another great story and puts the reader in the period, with period speech and dialects. I haven't felt more in-the-place since I read Chaucer in the original Middle English in college! Just like then, and just like reading a Shakespeare play, once you get into the flow of the language, it becomes easy to understand [my opinion, at least]. Maybe some will still find it off-putting, but I think it is a great aspect of the story and the whole premise: that you are in a world that is familiar yet different from what we knew in our own timeline. This is great fiction, in any case.
An absolute delight.......2006-05-26
I've only read a few of Turtledove's other novels; he seems to have so many series going on that I have a hard time keeping them all straight and so don't bother with any of them. I ended up with _Ruled Britannia_ by mistake (via a book club) and had it sitting around for some months before I picked it up the other day.
What a hoot! This was a very, very hard novel to pull off, and Turtledove did in very, very well. I found it funny, engrossing, fascinating, and, at times, moving. I chuckled at the various 'cribs from Shakespeare' that Turtledove scattered throughout the novel. And while others here--and Turtledove himself, in the afterword--note the unlikely nature of the Spanish Armada conquering England, world history has turned on other events equally unlikely--such as the US victory in the Battle of Midway.
Rating this novel '4 stars' is not a criticism, just a recognition that it's a fun (and brilliant) romp, but not one I'm likely to read repeatedly (as compared, say, to _Riddle-Master_ by Patricia McKillip).
As always, your mileage may vary. ..bruce..
I LOVE Turtledove's One-Shots.......2006-04-18
I've been a Harry Turtledove fan ever since I read Guns of the South, which was my introduction to the vast genre of science fiction known as alternate history. As a history student married to a history student, I LOVE playing the "What If" game with various historical scenarios.
Most of Turtledove's recent work, however, has not been very inspiring. Once, I would rush to the bookstore to pick up the latest installment of whatever series I was in the middle of. Now I'm content to getting the newest books from the library. Flat characterization, little plot advancement, and dull repetition have tarnished what would otherwise be very good books.
I wish they could all be like Ruled Britannia. This stand-alone novel shows that Turtledove can still write engaging dialog with memorable characters-even if the characters are largely historical figures. Maybe the idea of a successful Spanish invasion of Britain is far-fetched for some (I personally think that the invasion would have been a bit more "multinational" as more Catholic powers piled onto England), but the reactions of British citizens to the invasion is, I feel, quite accurate. I particularly like the portrayal of religion in the daily lives of Britons-for many, it didn't matter whether Protestants or Catholics were in power, or what ceremonies they had to follow or avoid; they were going to worship God, however they were allowed to.
I was particularly pleased to see one of my favorite Spanish playwrites, Lope de Vega, portrayed in the book. Lope was born only two years before Shakespeare, so they certainly were contemporaries. The depiction of de Vega's womanizing is very accurate, historically speaking, as are other aspects of his life-it was really only the failure of the Spanish effort against England that allowed him to leave the army and begin his writing career in earnest (Lope's ship was among the few who returned from the bitter defeat of the Armada at the hands of the British fleet).
The plot is particularly interesting, especially when contrasted with modern times. Imagine an era in which political propaganda is released NOT in 15 second soundbites, but in the text of plays. The depiction of the contemporary drama scene in the book is quite accurate, showing exactly how much research Turtledove does to ensure his books are as authentic as possible.
There is something for everyone in this book-literature snobs will even enjoy trying to figure out which of Shakespeare's actual plays the "alternate" titles represent. The book is a refreshing reminder of why I started reading Turtledove to begin with. I can only hope that the good doctor will continue to release these "single shot" alternate histories in addition (or perhaps in place of) the extended sagas that he has been writing recently.
A lesser Turtledove in scope, but a more enjoyable read because of it.......2005-10-02
Although Harry Turtledove is noted as being a "master of alternate history," many of his books cannot be called alternate history in any realistic sense of the term. His Guns of the South imagines the Cofederacy being supplied with AK-47's by time-travelling racists. Uh-huh. And his two Worldwar series assume aliens (real, honest-to-goodness outer space baddies) invade Earth in the middle of WWII. Ooooo-kaaaayyyy..... But here we have a plausible alternate reality world - imagine England 10 years after the Spanish Armada. Assume the Spanish navy won and managed to land the Duke of Parma's troops in Britain. Turtledove starts with this premise and paints a convincing picture - forced conversion to Catholicism and death to Protestant heretics, an English Inquisition to hunt said heretics down, and occupation by Spanish and Irish troops, the latter brought in to bolster the Catholic ranks to hold London.
In this world works one William Shakepeare. He has still written a number of his works we are familiar with - Hamlet, Love's Labour's Lost - in the presence of the Spanish occupation. Then an underground agent approaches Will with a plan: write a play so incindiary that the crowds watching the play will rise up agaist their oppressors.
From this setup, the story arc of the entire book should be obvious to anyone, if not the ultimate outcome - does Will's play and the insurgents' plot succeed? I don't mean to denigrate the book at all - just because the plot is obvious doesn't mean that the story isn't enjoyable. And it is enjoyable. London in 1600 was full of colourful characters that Turtledove borrows from real life, not least of which is Shakespeare himself and his contemporary playwrite, the homosexual (at a time when it was a capital offense) Christopher Marlowe. London and its sister communities (Westminster, Southwark, etc.) are beautifully rendered, invoking the bustle and squalor that was everyday life in Elizabethan times.
This book has nowhere near the scope or depth of his serial books. That's inevitable in a one-off, but the number of major characters in Ruled Britannia is low even so. Similarly the action is linear and completely centred on Shakespeare. But it is well-written and engaging. If Turtledove's verse is not original, but borrowed from a variety of sources (including Marlowe), we must remember that Shakespeare himself did the same thing, and the book is richer for it. The characters speak in what reads as 17th-century English, but it's easily followed, and the authenticy such language lends to the story is invaluable.
The master's best recent novel!!.......2004-12-30
_Ruled Britannia_ (hey, Amazon, correct your spelling!) is Turtledove's best stand-alone book in the last few years. In fact, it's an absolute delight, not least because of the gorgeous amount of Shakespearean language (much of it directly adapted from the Bard's own works, indeed - trying to guess which plays or poems a certain line came from is a big part of the fun) and because of the depth and affection with which Turtledove depicts his alt-hist Shakespeare and his Spanish opposite number Lope de Vega (a famous real-life playwright who, in the novel, is a junior officer in the Spanish occupation force who much prefers to spend his time hanging with Master Will and his cronies, or else in pursuing and bedding English beauties). Turtledove might have been accused in some instances recently of padding his work, or phoning it in, but not this time around. Along with _Guns of the South_, I can hardly think of a better introduction to the good Professor's work.

Better living is not through drugs!.......2000-04-27
The book "Relieving Pain with Acupressure" is a short and sweet book -- to the point, telling you what you need to know to relieve pain, without overwhelming you with too much information. It tells you how to perform acupressure and provides diagrams to follow. The book covers over 50 common pain/ailment complaints. They are alphabetized and one per page, so most things are very easy to find. I was very pleased to find that some attention is also given to children's disorders. The author also includes aromatherapy information for each ailment and optimal time frames that healing can occur. Overall, I like this book except for the fact that there are only skeletal diagrams and no pictures of the points on a real person. I found it hard to translate some of the acupressure points from the skeleton to my body. That is why I think this book is best as a companion book to other acupressure books, not a sole source of information. The other acupressure book I have is "Acupressure's Potent Points", by Michael Reed Gach. That book makes the points much easier to find, since it has photos of real people demonstrating the points. It, however, covers neither the aromatherapy nor the children's disorders. Both books contain information on ailments that are not in the other. That is why I like them both.
Book Description
This book brings together another fifty speeches for men from plays frequently ignored such as Cymbeline, King John and Henry VIII. It also includes good but overlooked roles from the more popular plays such as Kent in King Lear, Tranio in Taming of the Shrew and Ferdinand in The Tempest. Each speech is accompanied by a helpful character description, brief explanation of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases, and references--all written from the viewpoint of the auditioning actor. Also included is a comprehensive guide to selecting, preparing and performing audition speeches, and background material on Shakespeare and the times he lived in.
