Reply #9: First I heard of it

It sounds kinda bunky, as summarized on the first Amazon review - "Fomenko's theory says, basically, that everything we are told about history pre-1600 is BS. Ancient history is, according to Fomenko, based on evidence quote-unquote "discovered" since the 15th century and arranged into a spurious standard timeline in the 18th century. (In some cases, the evidence was discovered much more recently: some Eastern religious texts were only uncovered in the 20th century.) Fomenko collates this evidence to argue that all those ancient chronicles are different versions of events which really happened roughly between 1000 AD and 1400 AD."

I would think that the timeline of Popes alone would dispute his thesis same thing with Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire which went basically from Charlemagne's time (800 AD) to 1803, but I could not tell you how those timelines were put together, or when.
