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

Ivan Isaacs was once a priest. Devoted to his faith he would have given up anything for it. Then the establishment he believed in turned on him, sending him headlong into Hell. Now, he's back. With the priesthood now corrupt with demons, the undead and black prayers, he has returned with the help of the demon Belial, a voice in the darkness who offered Ivan a chance at vengeance, in exchange for his soul. With his six-shooter, a bowie knife at his side and the white collar of his former life adorning his neck he is a lost pale rider in a barren Wild West where past and future collide.

Intriguing Start to a Bloody Series.......2006-06-11

Though very little light was shed as to the over-all story of Priest, this volume did one thing that had me intrigued, and that was to present the darkness of the storyline that is to come. Using Christianity as a base, Priest follows Ivan Isaacs, a man possessed by a want for revenge and holding within him awful secrets that most religious men wouldn't want to know, including a glimpse into Hell. Now, serving his master Belial, Ivan journeys across the American West in search of a man named Jarbilong, fighting Jarbilong's zombie tools along the way. While on a train in search of this man, Ivan Isaacs's journey is interrupted when a group of bandits robs the train in order to save their wanted leader. Yet these bandits have no idea what waits for them in the darkest part of the train, and only the Priest can fight off the evil creatures that are ready to rise.

I think the best part about this volume was the way in which it begin. Very controversial, especially for a religious minded person; Ivan Isaacs hangs from a cross and faces his own resurrection of sorts, and ends up becoming the powerful, gun-toting, knife-slashing outlaw he now is. The agony of Ivan Isaacs is apparent in every action he makes along the way, and his history, which is explored only briefly, is enough to keep me reading this series. I just liked the character of Ivan and the setting in which he was placed.

Though absolutely not a perfect start, as this volume gets almost nowhere fast, it is definitely an intriguing beginning to what is shaping up to be a very bloody and mature series. While Priest technically isn't manga(it's Korean in origin) I would still recommend this to fans of mature manga like Hellsing, as it shares a lot of similarities with that series.

Plot?.......2006-05-11

Plot is for wooses!
Who needs a plot when you have zombies, demons, blood, guns, zombies, gore, bullets, zombies, psudo-religion and plenty of death?
Oh, did I mention zombies?

Hopefully it will not remain like this in the next book, but after the first I doubt that I'll check it anyway.

Zesty, mindless destruction for blood-thirsty readers!.......2005-03-24

'Priest' Vol.1 is a very unique manga. Its got shoddy animation, which is sometimes difficult to decipher, and the storyline is a bit unoriginal (kill as many people as you can). However, the animation does make the story much more intense and pleasurable to read, and I do love the gunfights you read in the book.
Overall, it's decent. It lacks consistent plot, mainly all you see is the guy shooting people or talking to Satan. But, the scene on the train is truly awesome- read this when you're angry, and you'll undoubtably feel like shooting someone, so only read this when you can control your sanity.
I can't really say it's a classic, but it is definitely one-of-a-kind, despite its shaky plot and storyline. Oh, by the way, its rated OT for a reason- TONS of people die in this manga.

far from typical.......2005-01-24

i don't what that scott munro dude is talking about, but this series is far from typical. i hate manga, but this series delves so deep into the human soul and psyche that i can't put it down. clearly the guy below hasn't even read much of the series or he would know that there is a ton of character development throughout the series. in each volume you learn more about the history of the characters and their relationships, and trust me these back-stories will take your mind for a spin. it's a story of struggle, physical, spiritual and psychological. i don't see how a person can write such a lame negative review after clearly not reading much of it. also, he says it's very plotless and typical, then says the first volume was confusing. if it's only a violent zombie-killing fest, what confused you? and at least get the name of Ivan's lost love, who is key to understanding his motivations, correct. it's gena, not jenna.

A veil of evil..........2004-11-05

When I first glanced through this comic before buying it I was pretty suprised at what I saw, a gothic-western setting, and a very original style of artwork. I had to pick it up. I've never read anything like it, the story is religion oriented, which makes is quite unique.
This series has an ever deepening story, I'm currently on Volume 7. If you liked Volume 1, you're in for one hell of a treat, each volume is better than the last. If you're looking for something with dark imagery with an amazing story. This series is worth looking into.
