Has history been tampered with? The Thucydides eclipse triad is a very substantial argument proving that the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides couldn't have been written earlier than the 11th century a.d.

It is most improbable that the triad is a fantasy of the author, since
in that case a fitting astronomical solution would most probably have been nonexistent.

It is also hard to consider the eclipses an apocryphal part of the "ancient" text, since they fit the consecutive and detailed narration incredibly well.

Identifying Zion as Sinai and Horeb is common in both theology and Bible studies.

Hieronymus in particular noted that: "it appears that the same mountain
is called by two different names, Sinai and Horeb".

The believers believe everything the Bible tells them without questioning, whereas the vehement atheists renounce everything the book has to say as nonsense, absurdity and malignant spells used for enslaving the people and keeping it obedient and ignorant.

The rational person shall however try to think of what the ancient author could really be referring to?

Volcanoes?

But there aren't any active volcanoes anywhere in the Middle East -- nor Northern Africa, nor most of continental Europe, for that matter.

However, there is an exception -- Italy and the famous Vesuvius. It is at a considerable distance from Palestine, granted. But let us sit down for a second, draw our breath and make the heretical presumption that the real events that became reflected in the book we know as the Bible really took place elsewhere, despite of what the illustrations in the modern bibles are telling us.

  • triad of eclypses described by thucydides dates medieval. there only two astronomical solutions to it:1133 total solar,1140 total solar,1151ad lunar or 1039 total solar,1046 partial solar,1057ad lunar. Period.

  • come on men! Lets be sensible! thoukididis was a historical person based in many writen books! This can't be true! And what are the evidence that they provide?

  • first google>books>fomenko then pontificate of you pls

  • it is clean science: go to google>to `more`> to `book search`>type keyword `fomenko`, read TOC or the whole book free of charge.

  • Prior to 16th cy chronology was a part of maths. Clergy misappropriated in 16th cy and manipulated it into oblivion. note that 150 secular scholarship are based on 200 y of preceding clerical one. google this book - it`s free..

  • Just another conspiracy theorist... it is tiresome really. Didn't the video state that this person was a mathematician? Well, doesn't that just say it all. I'd go to a historian for my history lessons and to the mathematician for mathematics.

  • Fomenko is a recreationist psuedo-scientist, like Sir Arthur Evans was with the "Minoans."

    The dating methods of the geological stratum, dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating, of all evidence, corelated with written evidence destroys his arguments.

    End of story.

  • these videos are a bit repetitive.

  • wat about the many sculptures and artworks that have been proved to out date the middle ages.

  • what is he talkin about...

    isnt the world already complecated as it is? dont understand what the heck he is talkin about.

  • Every book with any kind of jewshit like Jesus is hard for me to trust it.And Thucydides is the most famous because he never wrote any "fantasy" but searching in everyplace of Greece for ppl that know anything and keeping the true things of all that ppls thats why he dont wrote the whole war...because he had to travel by feet or slow ships to every place and searching 100% every single thing to be perfect!

  • Who cares, 48acar19? It's still fun.
