Has history been tampered with? Was there really a Dark Age?

Has history been tampered with? It is common knowledge that the Classical Age was followed by many centuries of utter stagnation and decline with virtually nothing happening but wars and famine and the destruction of the priceless ancient monuments.

Then, during the Renaissance, the Classical authors re-appear from oblivion, Latin and Greek become resurrected as the intelligentsia Esperanto of the Middle Ages, numerous manuscripts re-appear from oblivion to be copied, enter wide circulation, and vanish again, never to be found.

How preposterous would it be to suggest that there were no Dark Ages to separate the antiquity from the Renaissance - that the "Re-naissance" was in fact the naissance of the Western European culture as we know it? It does contradict everything that we may ever have learnt about history. However, new methods offered by empirical statistics and developed by Anatoly Fomenko, the Russian mathematician, and his colleagues, provide plenty of evidence to support the theory that the Dark Ages are a phantom.

We find lots of spicy morsels in the cauldron of history, and some of them are impossible to digest without soothing explanations that all the contradictions we encounter are to be blamed on the ignorance of the scribes or some such phenomena inherent in the murky past - fancy the statue of Marcus Aurelius lost for several centuries and then found "by accident" on one of the Roman streets, or Senators congregating amongst the ruins of the Capitol due to their being "nostalgic about the great imperial past of the Empire", or the pagan temples turning Christian at the wink of an eye, with the name of the saint coinciding with the name of the pagan deities that these very temples were consecrated to in the mysterious "days of yore"?

Dan Brown beats Martin Luther with "Da Vinci code"

Popular fiction dealing with conspiracies of one sort or another is actually quite tame as compared to reality. Dan Brown pens a possible conspiracy of the church against the memory of its originator Jesus. He follows unknowingly in the steps of Martin Luther who started his protestant revolution with accusation of Papal conspiracy in the matter of Constantine's testament, take good note that Martin Luther was right and the testament was false . Well he had as media outlet nothing better than the doors of the Wittenberg's cathedral. Dan Brown has mass media at his disposal. The Roman Catholic Church, for instance, is involved in a much greater hoax than the most daring writer could possibly conceive of - one that deals with the very foundations of history itself. The above statement is neither an exaggeration, nor a metaphor - very few people are aware that the B C A D chronology as we know it was created by a handful of Jesuits in the 16th 17th century - Joseph Scaliger, Dionysius Petavius and their successors. We have grown so accustomed to a timeline that runs through many millennia, from the Egyptian pyramids to the present day, that the mere thought of questioning its veracity seems perfectly preposterous - just like the notion of a rotating earth must have seemed in the epoch of Galileo Galilei, and just as heretical. But nevertheless - the entire conception of ancient and mediaeval history know to us today owes its existence to a XVI century Jesuit hoax. A hoax that has finally been exposed with the aid of astronomy, mathematical statistics and modern computational facilities by one of the world's leading mathematicians - the Russian Academician A. T. Fomenko. His fundamental work on chronology, now available in English, is more fascinating than Dan Brown at his wildest. Yet it is truly a non-fiction work - that goes to say, everything else you have read about history should probably classify as fiction. And, let's face it, much duller fiction than "The Da Vinci Code" barnburner.

I don't understand when it mentions that Egypt was made up in the renaissance period. I haven't read the book. But if Egypt was made up, then who built the pyramids?

Im open minded to this question so if anyone can please reply

[mithec]

egyptians did. from proto-concrete. New Chronology theory does not cancel events, artefacts, Pyramids, Great Walls, etc..etc, but points to their more probable positions on the time axis.

[mithec]

pyramids built in ix-xii ad. check davidovits theory.

[FunkiestFips]

Has any of the lunatics spreading this kind of theories actually bothered to read Scaliger's (who was NOT a Jesuit) "de emendatione temporum"? Probably not.

[mithec]

Dionisius Petavius was a jesuit.

[russcarljohnson]

eh, this sounds like revisionist history to me.

And stop talking about all that end of the world stuff. I'm not saying your right or wrong, but it's way off topic. It's like all the rasism debates that occur on featured videos.

[mithec]

Earth>4.5 bln, humanoids>5 mln yrs. S.Sapiens<150.000 yrs old, civilization= f(state+army+ideology+writing) goes as far back as AD 800, scarce information about 8-10 cy AD events, most historical events took place in 10-15th cy AD. JC: 1153-1186 AD. Old Testament compiled in 12-16 cy AD, AFTER New One, it renders events of that period. Methods of dating of artefacts, including c14 are non-exact and contradictory, there are no written ORIGINALS datable earlier than the XI century.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU MENTIONED WHITE WASHING! AND WHY WAS IT DONE!

ADDRESS THAT ISSUE THEN WE CAN TALK!

[landorcleopatrako]

fantastic!! This website is amazing!!..i have downloaded all the novels for free of cost..wonderful website digibooks4u[DOTT]info

[alibangsmooth]

who is 2 say dis guy aint making up his own history.

[whereismywater]

ever wonder why your ratings are so low???

listen to that shitty music...what tha f@#$

[kaybbayyy2362]

Well i have to disagree w/ you there. Being a Romam Catholic it just doesn't get around my head. But thanks for your thoughts

[allymetoo]

kaybay, that is mainly a rosicrucian theory. They believe, that someone else died on the Cross in place of Jesus, and the original one perpetuated ( their ) christian culture there, somewhere in provincial France.

Sort of a medieval Zeitgeist delusion.

[andy7666]

Well said!

[andy7666]

The insane biblical theories this video points at are wrong but the general idea of the title is correct - the 'Dark Age' in Europe really wasn't that dark at all! There was plenty of culture - astronomy, religion (albeit Pagan), wonderful craftsmanship, exploration, trade with Arabia and the Orient - it wasn't as bad as we are told!

[dreameroftheday]

I suggest Mr Fomenko sticks to mathematics....His claims are ludicrous

[sizzle2]

If they admitted Jesus was God and died on A.D. 33 and rose in A.D. 33 and ascended in A.D. 33 the whole judeo-masonic civilization would have to admit it doesn't make sense. They already know these things but top level freemasons are know who God is but they chose to reject him. They really do think satan is good and God is bad, Cant they just look at a cross and see their futility?
