Proving Ford right about history
Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko, a Russian mathematician, has written a 7-volume work in the spirit of Henry Ford’s “History is bunk.” He’s got a New Chronology that pushes the oldest historical events up to no earlier than the 8th century, and argues that some events are just the same one, with the names and dates changed. For example, the Trojan War and the Crusades. One historical event, different descriptions.
The guy obviously takes himself seriously, but luckily his American publishers didn’t take him too seriously to avoid putting FICTION in the biggest print on the cover of the book.
