Fomenko: How it was in Reality
Professor Anatoly Fomenko, a mathematician from Moscow State University, has developed and promoted a set of theories known as the "New Chronology".
Key claims within the New Chronology include:
He proposes that events attributed to ancient civilizations like
- Rome
- Greece,
- Egypt
actually, occurred much later, during the Middle Ages.
He also suggests that the historical Jesus was actually born in Crimea in 1152 AD and crucified in Constantinople in 1185 AD.
He posits that a "Russian Horde," a large Slav-Turk empire, played a dominant role in Eurasian history before the 17th century.
He claims that the majority of world history prior to AD 1600 was deliberately falsified for political reasons by a conspiracy of institutions like the Vatican and the Holy Roman Empire.
Fomenko's "New Chronology" is universally rejected by mainstream:
- scientists
- historians
- scholars
It is considered:
- pseudohistorical
- pseudoarchaeological
- pseudoscientific
His theories are inconsistent with established dating techniques like radiocarbon dating and dendrochronology.
Critics point to various issues with his methodology, including selective use of data to support his claims.
While Fomenko's theories have gained some popularity, particularly in Russia, they are not supported by the broader academic community.
His work has been widely criticized and refuted by historians and scientists.

Why are Fomenko's claims not accepted by scholars?
Lack of Credibility:
It relies heavily on statistical and linguistic analyses that are deemed flawed and not based on proper methodology.

Disregard for Evidence:
Fomenko dismisses established historical sources and evidence that contradict his claims and is accused of cherry-picking data to support his theory.

Historical and Archaeological Evidence:
Historical and archaeological evidence strongly supports the conventional understanding of Christianity's origins in the 1st century, after the death of Jesus in Roman Judea.

Paul's letters, written around 50–60 CE, reference Jesus' crucifixion and other events, predating the Middle Ages.

The Gospels, written later in the 1st century, recount Jesus' life and ministry.
Non-Christian sources like the writings of Josephus (Jewish historian) and Tacitus (Roman historian) in the 1st and 2nd centuries also mention Jesus and early Christians, corroborating aspects of the conventional narrative.
Archaeological finds such as the Caiaphas ossuary and evidence of Roman crucifixions also provide corroboration.
