Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

A burlesque smorgasbord of international high jinks—the “biography” of a hapless, twelve-fingered, would-be assassin who lurches from Sarajevo to Paris to Hollywood to Chicago to Rio, leaving high-stakes chaos in his wake.
Our hero, Dimitri Borja Korozec, is born in the late 1800s to a Brazilian contortionist mother and a fanatically nationalist Serbian linotypist father.

Dimitri enrolls in a training school for assassins, where he excels—except for his troubling propensity for fouling things up at the last moment. Part Carlos the Jackal, part Woody Allen’s Zelig, part Inspector Clouseau, and part Forrest Gump, Dimitri is a schlemiel of an assassin and anarchist who can’t seem to kill anyone. He does, however, cause enough mayhem to help start World War I, spread Spanish influenza to the American continent, and unintentionally trigger various other significant events of the twentieth century by slipping and falling, misreading signs, and misunderstanding instructions.
Along the way Dimitri runs into—and, sometimes, nearly over—a diverse cast of bit players: Mata Hari, Al Capone, Carmen Miranda, Marie Curie, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Irving Thalberg, George Raft, and even Aleister Crowley make their appearances.

Jô Soares weaves the lives of his characters in and out of modern history, creating odd synchronicities, uncanny coincidences, and the impression that this “biography” might almost be true. True or not, it’s a laugh-out-loud romp that provides an intriguing new perspective on the history and major figures of our time, blurring the line between fact and fiction—a line which, had he encountered it on his way to an assassination, Dimitri would most certainly have tripped over.

Twelve fingers, all good.......2005-04-04

Jose Eugenio Soares hit the jackpot with "Twelve Fingers," the most off-the-wall historical novel in recent memory. The novel follows the bumbling anarchist around the world, as he accidently spreads mayhem and bumps into many historic figures, and causes quite a few disasters.

Dmitri Borja Korozec was born to a Brazilian contortionist and a Bosnian anarchist, and was perfectly normal except for the extra index finger on each hand. He is hailed as a sort of anarchic messiah to the Black Hand society... except that he's such a klutz that he fails every time. During an important assassination, his two trigger fingers get stuck in the gun, and he fails to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand.

Dmitri leaves (with the gun still stuck), determined to continue the cause, and nearly gets seduced by the legendary Mata Hari. He goes through multiple countries and continents, getting involved with sultry women, trying to kill oppressers and always failing in spectacular ways. To top it off, he is being pursued both by a determined French policeman and a homicidal Indian dwarf.

In outline, "Twelve Fingers" sounds like a perfectly ordinary historical novel -- wars, historical figures, world travel, et cetera. But the humor is in the details. Soares winks at anything that can't wink back, such as having the French cop being the grandson of Victor Hugo's Inspector Javert, or the repeated near-fatal escapes of Motilah the Thug dwarf, who keeps falling off trains.

Soares doesn't let the book descend to basic comedy, however -- no icky jokes, no dumbing down. He includes cameo appearances by Mata Hari, Madame Curie, Picasso, and countless others, with blurry photographs accompanying the text. At the same time, he can deadpan lines that talk about the Italian Kama Sutra's chapter on men with two forefingers (nickname: Il Manusturbatore), and one of the most funniest love scenes I have ever read, complete with corny dialogue and too much alcohol.

Dmitri is a basic Forrest Gump character -- he drifts through life, although the middle of the book could use a bit of a lift. His bumbling can only keep things going so long, but the ending takes a sharp upturn when Dmitri tries to track down his long-lost relative, with shocking (yet somehow unsurprising) results. Supporting characters never get much in the way of personality, but then again, it is a book about the inept anarchist.

If Dmitri weren't such a goofball, it would be easy to imagine him bumbling through World War I-era Europe, leaving a train of mayhem behind him. As it is, Jose Soares' second novel is a rare comic treat.

The best Biography of an Anarchist.......2003-09-23

This book refer to a young boy that was born on Banja Luka, Bósnia, he is different from other children because, he has twelve fingers in his hands, he believes this attribute is a god sign. When he was teen, he went to anarchist school where he learned about making bombs, and to operate guns.
When he was a young man, became odder murderer and accidentally participates of biggest crimes and tragic events of the history between Ferdinando Marcos's murder, the arrest of spy Mata Hari, murder of socialist deputy Jean Jaurés in Paris, in 1914. Picasso draw Dimitri in a napkin, in Brasserie Lipp, in 1917 and Fernando Pessoa participates of an esoteric session in the anarchist's company. He "Helps" the actor George Raft in the filming of Ben-Hur (1925), and Al Capone in the gangsters's world of Chicago. Has participated of the attack, unsuccessful, to the president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in Miami.
The book is a travel on the world modern history, the author with his singular culture make the reader enjoy a lot while reading. The book is a great classic of Brazilian literature; and the author is considered one of the smarter man in Brazil.

This book is great!.......2003-02-19

I read both of Soare's books and it was surprised to see that 'A Samba For Sherlock' actually got higher remarks. I love this book and while I agree with some of the comments that the story is not much original (Forrest Gump) it's nevertheless a very good plot and some interesting historical facts. Read it, you'll like it!

Not as good as Sherlock.......2002-08-18

The first 100 pages of this picaresque are hilarious, then it begins to run out of steam. The running joke, that the protagonist is too incompatent to carry off any assasination, is not funny enough to carry an entire book. After Dimitri bungled his second assasination attempt I became bored sensing that there were no more surprises in store, and there weren't. Some of the historical references are interesting and others are flat. People who have never seen Zelig or Forrest Gump might find this story original, but it isn't. There is a theory among Brazilian television comedians like Jo Soares that there are only a limited number of jokes in the world and that they can be repeated over and over again with slight variations and people will still laugh. 12 Fingers suggests otherwise.

Amusing.......2002-02-07

The second novel by Brazillian Jo Soares, author of the international bestseller A Samba for Sherlock, Twelve Fingers is an infectious, highly clever, an thoroughly amusing look at one (fictional) man's stumble of a life through some of history's better known events. Dmitri Borja Korozec is our Zelig-like, bumbling, oft-disoriented guide, born in the Balkans at the end of the 19th century to a Brazillian contortionist mother and fanatically nationalist Serbian father, who also happens to be a linotypist. Perhaps too much having been read into Dmitri's being born with 12 fingers (one additional index finger on each hand), he is consequently groomed to be a top-flight anarchist/assassin. Soon we follow the hapless Dimitri from Sarajevo to Paris to Hollywood, unintentionally triggering (or more often, just failing to trigger) a number of the 20th century's more significant events, including the start of WWI, bringing Spanish influenza to America, and bribing the wrong jury to thus ensure Al Capone's conviction. Along the way he manages to rub shoulders, if not bump into, a varied host of real historical figures, from Mata Hari to Marie Curie and Picasso to George Raft. Soares places archival photos throughout, with very amusing captions explaining our (anti-) hero's absence or obscuration in each picture.
