Classical history vs modern astronomy: who shall win? We are accustomed to treating history as an immutable whole, complete with a very convenient (More) We are accustomed to treating history as an immutable whole, complete with a very convenient chronological scale attached. Every event we're interested in can be looked up, which usually satisfies the most frequently encountered kind of amateur historian who wants to know the "right date for everything". Professional historians are well aware that there are lots of gaps and inexplicable twists on this scale, and prefer to remain taciturn about those for the very simple reason that they're professional historians, and paid to make that scale look even. However, apparently this cannot be done.
The Russian mathematician Anatoly Fomenko was the first to have questioned the validity of global chronology in its entirety. However, there were criticisms of the chronological tradition that became consensual nowadays ever since the days of its creation in the 16th 17th century, and the list of the critics includes such names as Jean Hardouin, Edwin Johnson, Sir Isaac Newton. Fomenko was the first to have developed a new empirico-statistical methodology which yielded some sensational results concerning many ancient dynasties and their identification with those of the Middle Ages, with impressive geographical shifts to boot. Apparently, all of the "ancient" eclipses allegedly belonging to the period between 1000 BC and five hundred AD that have with detailed descriptions allowing for astronomical datings get verifiable valid dates from a much later epoch, namely, the interval between 500 and 1700 AD. Despite its numerous gaps and inconsistencies, Roman history is the best-documented field of ancient history, and thus a reference scale of a paramount importance. But how well do we know the actual date of the city's foundation? The question makes more sense than it might seem to originally for several reasons.
Firstly, Rome is supposed to have been founded by the Trojans who had to flee after the fall of Troy. However, there are lots of different opinions as to when that happened exactly, and the datings offered are scattered over the range of five hundred years. 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 400 years between the fall of Troy and the foundation of Rome.
What do modern historians really say about the correct chronology of the Ancient Rome when they do not have to produce textbook-friendly output? The following: "Neither Diodorus nor Livy possess a correct chronology . . . we cannot trust the fasti, which tell us nothing about who was made consul in which year, or the cloth writings that led Licinius Marcus and Tubero to contradictory conclusions. The most trustworthy documentation is the kind that turns out to be much more recent forgeries after in-depth analysis". alaska greenland scotland british washington movies moscow berlin london paris milan florence marco polo film 1100's 1200's 1300's 1400's 1500's 1600's 1700's 1800's 1900's mission documentary video norway sweden oslo stockholm amsterdam glasgo noble nobility viking history chronicle science research museum historical evolution archaeology story of the year taboo stories journey to the past past lives today in history easter the history channel creation vs evolution of man ancient japanese chinese italian american german greek roman criminal jewish catholic lutheran baptist crucifixion spain italy britain prussia denmark math geometry ethics logic day in history world town natural city witchcraft cyprus iran zodiac stars punishment military capital politics immigrant money women men man woman inventions building architecture islam orthodox herodotus shakespeare magazine tablet commandments fashion protection life ancient history rome greece egypt jesus caesar bible gospel judas dan brown da vinci channel today pyramid cleopatra nefertiti pharaoh moses story gnostic conspiracy masonic historical cabal war campaign biblical medieval china india burma jerusalem illuminati timeline conspiracy english french roman battle fight priam hector troy bow sword sea arrow ship weapon helene horse race king tartars logic fact victory russia germany scribe america france england romanov plantagenet tudors windsor da vinci historical biblical edifice evolution
