Written by the prominent Russian mathematician and academician Anatoly T. Fomenko, this book is a provocative piece of historical revisionism that fundamentally challenges official world chronology. In this first volume of his monumental series, Anatoly Fomenko—a distinguished professor of mathematics at Moscow State University (MSU) and a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS)—presents a radical theory known as the New Chronology. Utilizing methods of mathematical statistics, celestial calculations, and meticulous deciphering of ancient horoscopes and eclipses, the author argues that the entire written history of humanity prior to the 11th century is actually a constructed myth, and that a massive forgery of historical documents occurred during the Renaissance and Baroque eras to create the illusion of antiquity. The content of this first volume is dedicated to an introductory critique of traditional, so-called "Scaligerian" chronology (established in the 16th and 17th centuries by Joseph Scaliger and Dionysius Petavius). Fomenko presents seemingly incredible theses: he claims that ancient and medieval events are actually duplicates of the exact same historical occurrences, that the biblical Old Testament describes medieval events, and that the New Testament was written significantly earlier than historians claim. The book offers a fascinating blend of a rigorous mathematical apparatus and controversial historical conclusions, supported by more than 400 diagrams, tables, and illustrations. The English translation by Mikhail Yagupov adds significant value to this edition. Due to its unique status on the borderline between science fiction, mathematics, and radical historical theory, this book is a must-read for all researchers of alternative history, historiography, and conspiracy theory phenomena.
