Fomenko, Nosovsky: The true history of Russia. The history of the "New Chronology" (Fomenko)

"Christ" historian N. M.Nikolsky .

A. T. Fomenko and G. V. Nosovsky first used the term in 1995 in the title of their book “ New chronology and concept ancient history Russia, England and Rome” (M.: Izd-vo MGU, 1995) to denote a modified version of the world chronology, built on the basis wide application supposedly modern natural-scientific methods. Later, it began to be applied to the works of earlier authors, whom Fomenko and Nosovsky refer to as their predecessors: Newton, Morozov and others.

In English-language literature, the term " New Chronology" (Eng. " New Chronology") is more often applied to the works of the British Egyptologist David Rola (Eng. David M. Rohl), who in his become famous book A Test of Time, published in 1995, used it in relation to his proposed changes to the chronology of Ancient Egypt. He has been using this name in his articles since 1990 .

Early attempts to revise the chronology referred to by the authors of "HX"

The main information about the early attempts to revise the chronology of the NC borrows from the works of N. A. Morozov, who, in turn, learned a lot from the newspaper German article. At the same time, many of the facts reported in this article, for example, about the Salamanca professor de Arcilla and the Pisan doctor Gragani, do not find confirmation.

An attempt to revise the chronology was made by Isaac Newton, who spent several decades on mathematical analysis ancient history. AT summary his ideas were set forth in The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, which appeared in 1725 in French, and in 1728, after his death, in English language.

Based on this idea as an obvious fact that does not need proof, Morozov tried to calculate the date of the event according to the alleged astronomical indications in the text and came to the conclusion that the text was written in 395 AD. e. , that is, 300 years later than its historical dating. For Morozov, however, this was not a sign of the fallacy of his hypothesis, but of the existing chronology. historical events. Morozov, upon leaving prison, outlined his conclusions in the book Revelation in Thunderstorm and Storm (). Critics have pointed out that this dating contradicts the undeniable quotations and references to the "Apocalypse" in earlier Christian texts. Morozov objected to this that, since the dating of the Apocalypse has been proven astronomically, then in this case we are dealing either with forgeries or incorrect dating of contradictory texts that could not have been written earlier than the 5th century BC. At the same time, he firmly believed that his dating was based on accurate astronomical data; critics' indications that these "astronomical data" were arbitrary interpretations of a metaphorical text were ignored by him.

Formation of the "New Chronology" by A. T. Fomenko

M. M. Postnikov and the revival of Morozov's ideas

The work of the Fomenko group

Fomenko actively joined the work of the group formed around Postnikov, which was supposed to confirm Morozov's theory, and soon headed this group.

To the displeasure of Postnikov, Fomenko and Mishchenko were subjected to a serious revision of Morozov's ideas. Fomenko agreed with Morozov that the existing chronology is incorrect, but disagreed with him in assessing which chronology is correct. Postnikov, in turn, considered it impossible to reconstruct history without the help of professional historians.

Relations with party leadership

However, soon Fomenko and his group resumed publishing articles on their theories. After the appearance in Questions of History (No. 12, 1983) of a new devastating article written by Golubtsova in collaboration with physicist Yu. A. Zavenyagin, Fomenko, in turn, complains to the Central Committee, attaching an article refuting the astronomical conclusions of the authors. The result was a discussion with Zavenyagin in one of the offices of the Central Committee, where Fomenko put forward his patriotic intentions as the last argument: “I am Soviet, I am Russian! I want the history of my country to be as ancient as ancient Rome!”

"New chronology" in the era of perestroika

Perestroika freed the supporters of the New Chronology from the problems of censorship. But the topic of ancient history in that era was irrelevant among the broad masses, and Fomenko continued to publish in small circulation. Later, in 1993, at the expense of the author, the Moscow State University publishing house published his first monographs on the "New Chronology": "Methods of statistical analysis of narrative texts and applications to chronology (recognition and dating of dependent texts, statistical ancient chronology, statistics of ancient astronomical observations)” and “Global Chronology. History study ancient world and the Middle Ages." In the appendix to the second Nosovsky, a new dating of the Orthodox Paschalia and the Council of Nicaea is given. In 1993, publishers in the United States and Holland published three books outlining Fomenko's theory, with a total volume of about 1000 pages.

The transformation of the "New Chronology" into a phenomenon of mass culture

In discussions in the press and on the Internet, supporters and opponents of the "New Chronology" repeatedly accused each other of forgery, exaggeration, distortion of facts, personal revenge and political motives; in addition, professionals accused Fomenko and Nosovsky of dilettantism and incompetence. Later, the intensity of discussions decreased, since the authors of the New Chronology withdrew from direct discussions in the scientific press, turning to the general public in commercial publications. By now total number books by A. T. Fomenko and his group is about 90. Reports and individual articles by critics of the New Chronology are collected in 7 collections of Antifomenko by the Russkaya Panorama publishing house and other collections.

In 2004, Anatoly Fomenko, in collaboration with Gleb Nosovsky, for books from the New Chronology series, was awarded the Antiprize  "Paragraph" in the nomination "Honorary Illiteracy" - for "particularly cynical crimes against Russian literature".

On August 12, 2016, a video of the conference dated September 29, 2013 of one of the founding fathers of the "new chronology" G.

When asked about funding, Nosovsky answered the following: "No one finances our projects and no one has ever financed them. If you historians do not have sufficient funding, then we simply have zero." Well, then I read the "moral" for a long time, that counting money in other people's pockets is not good.

But how honest is this answer? To begin with, let's look at such a controversial source as Wikipedia, the article "Fomenko, Anatoly Timofeevich." Nosovsky claims that their first book on the "New Chronology" was published in 1995, and he said so, for the first time (precisely "for the first time") the book was published at the expense of Fomenko's personal funds. But let's see the wiki: " Fomenko A. T., Kalashnikov V. V., Nosovsky G. V. Geometrical and Statistical Methods of Analysis of Star Configurations. Dating Ptolemy's Almagest.- USA: CRC Press, 1993.- 300 pp". The first book on the "New Chronology" was published in 1993 in the USA. Is it really also at the personal expense of Fomenko? This is a 300 page book. It turns out Nosovsky just lied! But let's look at the English-language Wikipedia article about Fomenko and see there: Fomenko A.T. “Some new empirico–statistical methods of dating and the analysis of the present global chronology,” London: The British Library, Department of printed books. cup. 918/87, 1981. As we can see, the "new chronology" has been known in the West since the 80s. So, it turns out that when Fomenko and Nosovsky paint themselves as such donquixotes from science - a pure lie.

And now let's see where the books of Fomenko and Nosovsky were printed on foreign languages abroad: USA, UK, Netherlands. Isn't there too much attention in the West to the "New Chronology"? Doesn't this seem strange? If they show me the same attention to other Russian historians or scientists, then I will agree. So, on Wikipedia, the historian A.P. Novoseltsev is mentioned in articles of just three languages, while Fomenko is in 35 languages. It looks like someone is actively promoting the "New Chronology". Is it really the same as Fomenko's personal funds? Who paid for the translation of the books by Fomenko and Nosovsky? who paid for their publication? I find it hard to believe that in the West suddenly flared up great love to the theory of "new chronology". There are plenty of analogues out there.

And on account of the fact that no one finances the "New Chronology", Nosovsky is just as blatantly lying. This video is from 2013. And here is an article from "Echo of Moscow" dated July 14, 2014:

"In this regard, the conversation turned to the theory of the "new chronology", which is presented by Gleb Nosovsky on "Echo". Deputy Venediktov Sergei Buntman admitted what this character is talking about commercial basis: “There are patrons who pay for his broadcast. This pleased me: I thought, in what form can it be submitted, are there people? who are interested in the new chronology. Thank God, someone took and paid". “And I, for example, believe that the earth stands on three pillars. But I don’t spread my views,” Venediktov put in the word. “And I - that at four. But there was no patron for me,” Buntman picked up.

Note that we are talking about a series of interviews with Nosovsky in 2012-2014, just when Nosovsky impudently lied that no one was financing the "new chronology" project. And here, it turns out, a certain secret sponsor was found who financed a series of programs about Tartaria from Nosovsky. And who is this sponsor and why is Nosovsky hiding his name? And notice with what undisguised irony the leaders of Ekho Moskvy speak about Nosovsky, his theory and his sponsors. It seems that they know this sponsor. And who feeds "Ekho Moskvy" is well known to us.

Thus, I do not believe Mr. Nosovsky and his words about the lack of funding.

Fomenko Anatoly Timofeevich - Head of the Department, Professor of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Co-author with Gleb Nosovsky of the New Chronology. The New Chronology of Fomenko-Nosovsky is the largest discovery of the twentieth century.

Country: Russia
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 53 minutes
Year of issue: 2008
Members: Anatoly Fomenko

Description: Scientific books and museum exhibitions, historical novels and films convince us that almost everything is known about the history of mankind, and historians will definitely find a ready answer to almost any question of an inquisitive mind. However, if we look into our past more closely, we will find many oddities and inconsistencies there. Why, say, painters of the Middle Ages, usually attentive to historical details, portrayed biblical and ancient characters as their contemporaries? How ancient warriors could chop down their enemies bronze swords if there was no bronze in those days? And where did iron weapons come from in ancient Egypt? And on what basis did Ivan the Terrible call himself a direct descendant of the Roman Emperor Augustus? It would seem that these and many other mysteries should have forced historians to look more closely into our past. But this has not yet happened, and therefore the question involuntarily arises: do we really know our history?

Description: From ancient times to the present day, the entire history of mankind is clearly dated. In numerous historical and archaeological reference books, you can find the answer to almost any question. Museums around the world store unique exhibits - witnesses of bygone eras. Among them, there is hardly at least one on the plate of which it will be written: "origin unknown" or "age unknown." All these items are meticulously grouped and laid out in a strict chronological order. But why did scientists come to the conclusion that, for example, this jug belongs to the fifth century BC, and this one - to the eighth century AD? It is generally accepted that methods for determining the age of ancient objects are well tested, and most importantly, very reliable. But is it really so? Is not it world history based on rigorous scientific evidence?

The film is dedicated to the unique author's methods of dating historical events, developed by the Russian scientist, academician Russian Academy Sciences Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko. Using these methods, scientists have found that the written history of mankind is much shorter than the one we study in schools and universities. A check on well-known events of the 17th-20th centuries revealed the high accuracy of the new methods and the justification for their use for the reconstruction of the past.

Among the many monuments left by ancient civilizations, the pyramids are by far the most famous. ancient egypt. It is believed that it has long been known who, when and why they built them. But there is still no answer to the question: how was it built? How did ancient architects process and move huge stone blocks? There are many hypotheses, but any of them contains weaknesses. Numerous attempts by researchers to test the theory in practice ended in failure. But back in the second half of the 20th century, chemical engineers conducted examinations of the ancient Egyptian building stone. The mystery of the ancient pyramids has been solved! But this discovery did not become a sensation. scientific world responded with complete silence. Egyptologists did not seem to notice the discovery. And they still don't want to notice it.

Veliky Novgorod occupied special place among the ancient Russian cities. For the right to be called the capital of Russia, he competed first with Kyiv, and then with Moscow. It was the richest boyar republic. The trade turnover of this city had no equal in Russia. It was through Veliky Novgorod that famous way"from the Varangians to the Greeks", linking Scandinavia with Byzantium. But archaeological excavations and analysis of ancient chronicles give grounds to assert that modern Novgorod on the Volkhov River has never been a major state and commercial center. And some fragments of ancient texts contradict Russian history in general and the history of Veliky Novgorod in particular. So is the city on the Volkhov really the famous Lord Veliky Novgorod?

Today, almost everyone knows about the Mongol-Tatar yoke in Russia. From the school bench we are told about the enslavement of the Russian people by the steppe nomads, who had neither culture nor writing. It is believed that this invasion led to huge human losses among the Russian people, to the destruction and plunder of their material and spiritual values. FROM early childhood we are taught that as a result of the foreign yoke, the economic and cultural development of Russia, in comparison with Europe, was supposedly set back three centuries ago. We are persistently explained that Russia has been mired in the darkness of poverty, ignorance, cruelty and violence for almost three centuries, falling into economic and political dependence on its enslavers - the Mongol Khans and the Rulers of the Golden Horde. This is written in official books on the history of Russia. But was it really so? come down to us historical facts and the evidence says otherwise.

The Battle of Kulikovo is one of the greatest events in Russian history. It is believed that the battle on the Kulikovo field in 1380 was the first step towards the liberation of Russian lands from the Mongol-Tatar yoke. But was it really so? The results of many years of research by Russian scientists tell a completely different story. That there were no conquerors in Russia at that time. That there was no three-hundred-year yoke of the Golden Horde. That on the Kulikovo field the troops of Dmitry Donskoy did not fight with the steppe nomads. They had a completely different opponent. And the place itself, which is considered today the Kulikovo field, bears its name undeservedly. Archaeological finds and ancient Russian chronicles speak eloquently about this. So where did famous historical events actually take place? Where is it, this Kulikovo field?

Today, almost anyone, regardless of religion, knows the gospel story of Jesus Christ. The time of His earthly life is not only the era of the birth of a new religion. This is a new starting point for the chronology of mankind. In most countries of the world, it is customary to keep the chronology from the Nativity of Christ. No one doubts that two thousand years have passed since this most important event for mankind. But why are people so sure of this? The authors of the film do not touch upon issues of faith and church dogmas. The task of this film is different: to understand the issues of a historical and chronological nature. It is quite possible that the generally accepted date of the Nativity of Christ is erroneous and on the calendar today should not be written 2009, but a completely different date.

The absence of a direct heir was the cause of the many years of Troubles in Russia. But there is another version of those distant events, which belongs to the authors of the "New Chronology" Anatoly Fomenko and Gleb Nosovsky.

HYPOTHESIS OF NOSOVSKY AND FOMENKO

HYPOTHESIS OF NOSOVSKY AND FOMENKO

Gleb Nosovsky and Anatoly Fomenko put forward the hypothesis that the historical Veliky Novgorod is actually Yaroslavl, i.e. between modern Yaroslavl and chronicle Novgorod one can put an equal sign: Yaroslavl = Novgorod. Even from a geographical point of view, the jump is unthinkable - 500 kilometers! What can we say about history. The foundations of its traditional version are cracking at the seams more and more every year, sowing panic among historians resting on their laurels. However, I got excited about the panic. Historians prefer to ignore alternative hypotheses. Well, it's their right to reject new ideas or just remain silent. But at the same time, they also ignore the JUSTIFIED criticism of the mistakes of their traditional version, which, from my point of view, once again confirms: the traditional version is REALLY WRONG in many ways!

One of these fake errors is the situation with chronicle Novgorod. Fomenko and Nosovsky gave a number of proofs that Yaroslavl is Novgorod. This evidence can be divided into two groups: evidence that modern Novgorod-on-Volkhov could not be Great, as traditional history claims, and linking chronicle Novgorod with Yaroslavl.

Finding the truth in this issue is of fundamental importance for the entire ancient Russian history, it was from Novgorod that it began. Therefore, consideration of this issue should be given special attention. I have collected a lot of textural material in favor of the hypothesis of Nosovsky and Fomenko. But before we begin to present these proofs, let us briefly consider the material cited in support of their hypothesis by these authors.

So, first of all, it should be noted that large-scale excavations, which have been ongoing in Novgorod for more than fifty years, have not led to any significant discoveries. The birch-bark letters found there did not give anything significant to history, since at their core they represent only everyday records. The psalter, found in the same place in 2000, is hardly as ancient as V. L. Yanin, the chief archaeologist of Novgorod, immediately told the whole world about it. By the time these lines were written, Nosovsky and Fomenko had not yet made their judgment about this find, but I think it will not differ from my opinion.

Nosovsky and Fomenko quite rightly note that "Novgorod has never really been a major trading center ... It is difficult to find another city located so unsuccessfully in terms of trade." Historians cannot say through which seaport the Novgorod trade went. The only geographically optimal port could be St. Petersburg, but the latter was founded only three centuries ago.

Where did the Great Road pass, connecting Novgorod with North-Eastern Russia? “Until now, there are impassable, swampy places.” Half a thousand kilometers from Novgorod, both towards Moscow and towards Kyiv, "there are no old historical centers."

In Novgorod itself, archaeologists still cannot find the so-called Yaroslav's Court - the place where the famous Novgorod Veche met. True, Academician Yanin proposed a certain territory, but, as he himself said, "not a single paved or trampled area was found on it." How does Yanin explain such strangeness? But simply: they say, the Novgorod veche consisted of only three hundred (!) People.

The theme of Yaroslav's court was mentioned in passing in the book "The Russia that Was Not-2" by Burovsky, who sharply attacked the hypotheses of Nosovsky and Fomenko, accusing them of ignorance. Here is one of his remarks: “A dispute between a professor and a student is still possible, mainly for educational purposes.

And here there is such an abyss of ignorance that it is not easy to compare with a seventh grader. And how do you order at least something to explain to a person who does not own the most elementary material ?! You will tell him: "It was found on the Yaroslav's courtyard ...". And he bulges his eyes: “So there is no Yaroslav’s court?!”.

What is the "ignorance" of Nosovsky and Fomenko? Not believing in the word of our luminaries historical science, they simply asked their opponents to provide convincing evidence that it was this territory in Novgorod that was the very famous Yaroslav's courtyard. If there is no such evidence, then this place is unlikely to have been a Novgorod court. Is it logical? It turns out that it is not: it is the "abyss of ignorance"!

Nosovsky and Fomenko give several examples of the geographical inconsistency of the present Novgorod with the routes of the princes according to the annals. By the way, I expanded this list, but more on that below.

And finally, according to the authors of the hypothesis under discussion, back in the 16th century “the town on the Volkhov did not even have its own name, but was called impersonally a neighborhood. With the last statement of the respected Nosovsky and Fomenko, I cannot agree. The fact that the inhabitants called their city so ironically and contemptuously only testifies to its shabbiness. Yes, Novgorod-on-Volkhov was a small and provincial town. But this did not prevent him from having his own history, and more on that a little later.

In support of their hypothesis about Yaroslavl as the true Veliky Novgorod, Nosovsky and Fomenko present a whole series of serious evidence. Yes, Yaroslavl long time was the largest shopping center, located at the intersection of the North Dvina and Volga waterways. Even after the transfer of the center of trade with Europe from Arkhangelsk to St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl still continued to play a significant role in domestic trade. But Novgorod-on-Volkhov, even having received access to Europe through St. Petersburg, could not dispose of this gift of fate.

Here is a brief summary of the main arguments presented by Nosovsky and Fomenko. As you can see, there are not so many of them. Now let's look at a deeper level of evidence that Yaroslavl is the famous annalistic Veliky Novgorod.

Fomenko 1. Introduction In December 1999 at the Faculty of History of Moscow State University

Hypothesis A.T. Fomenko If you carefully read books on the history of different peoples, you can find a lot of absurdities and "inconsistencies" with the dating of various events in world history. As a rule, historians do not notice them; they got used to the texts, "got used to it". But at
