역사 : 픽션인가 과학인가? - 아나톨리 포멘코

 우연히 동영상을 보다가 발견한 책으로 저자는 아나톨리 포멘코(Anatoly Fomenko)라는 러시아의 수학자.
 
 지금의 인류의 역사는 일정 부분 거짓이라는 이야기를 주장하는데, 이는 우리가 알고 있는 로마, 그리스, 이집트의 역사들의 일들은 모두 중세에 일어났던 일이라고 주장한다.

 새로운 연대기(New Chronology)의 중심 컨셉은 니콜라이 모로조프의 아이디어를 잇는 것.

3권까지의 책소개에서 보면 포멘코 주장하는 내용들은 다음과 같다.

In volumes 1, 2 and 3 of History: Fiction or Science?, Fomenko and his colleagues claim:

1. That different accounts of the same historical events are often 'assigned' different dates and locations by historians and translators, creating multiple "phantom copies" of these events; these "phantom copies" are often misdated by centuries or even millennia and end up incorporated into conventional chronology;
2. That this chronology was largely manufactured by Joseph Justus Scaliger in Opus Novum de emendatione temporum (1583) and Thesaurum temporum (1606), and represents a vast array of dates produced without any justification whatsoever, containing the repeating sequences of dates with shifts equal to multiples of the major cabbalistic numbers 333 and 360;
3. That this chronology was completed by jesuit Dionysius Petavius in De Doctrina Temporum, 1627 (v.1) and 1632 (v.2);
4. That archaeological dating, dendrochronological dating, paleographical dating, numismatic dating, carbon dating, and other methods of dating of ancient sources and artifacts known today are erroneous, non-exact or dependent on traditional chronology;
5. That there is not a single document in existence that can be reliably dated earlier than the 11th century;
6. That histories of Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were crafted during the Renaissance by humanists and clergy mostly on the basis of documents of their own making;
7. That the Old Testament is a rendition of events of the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries AD in Europe and Byzantium, containing 'prophecies' about 'future' events related in the New Testament, which is a rendition of events of 1153 to 1186 AD;
8. That the history of religions runs 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, and Islam;
9. That currently accepted chronology has many inconsistences, but these are generally overlooked and ignored, giving the perception that there are no problems;
10. That the Almagest of Claudius Ptolemy, traditionally dated to around 150 AD and considered to be the corner stone of classical history, was compiled in sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from astronomical data of the ninth to sixteenth centuries.
11. That 34 complete Egyptian horoscopes found in Denderah, Esna, and other temples have unique valid astronomical solutions with dates ranging from 1000 AD and up to as late as 1700 AD;
12. That the Book of Revelation we know of contains a horoscope that is dated to 25 September - 10 October 1486 compiled by cabbalist Johannes Reuchlin.
13. That the horoscopes contained in Sumerian/Babylonian tablets have solutions every 30-50 yrs on the time axis and are therefore useless for purposes of dating;
14. That the Chinese tables of eclipses are useless for dating as they contain too many eclipses that did not take place;
15. That powder and guns, paper and print, and all major inventions made in the tenth to sixteenth centuries are of European origin;
16. That Ancient Roman and Greek statues, showing perfect command of the human anatomy are fakes crafted in the Renaissance when, according to Fomenko, such command was for the first time attained;

 간단히 11세기 이전에는 역사란 것은 없었다고 한다. 그리고 고대 문명을 증명하는 책들은 대부분 16세기에 출판되었는데 이 출판한 사람이 당시에 문서위조로 쟁쟁했던 사람이라고.

 그러나 이 책과 주장은 당시 러시아 과학자들 사이에서 의사과학이라고 인지되었고, 11세기의 역사를 이야기 하는 동안에 약간의 국수주의적인 성격을 담고 있어서 완전한 내용으로 인정받지 못했음. 여전히 지금도 의사과학으로 취급받기도 함.
