[some excerpts]
In The Lost Millennium: History's Timetables Under Siege, just published by Knopf Canada, Diacu closely examines Fomenko's wide-ranging work, which is based on statistics, celestial mechanics and the position of the stars and planets recorded at the time of key historical events. Because the paths of planets occur in different planes, millions of variations are possible in their relative positions. In effect, every night is unique.
Among other sources, Fomenko and his team of researchers consulted Egyptian horoscopes carved in stone, which showed configurations of the night sky that appeared much later than the dates attributed to them.
According to Fomenko, the Middle Ages did not last 1,000 years, during which human progress ground to a halt, but more like two centuries.
"The calendar we have today was introduced by Julius Caesar (modified by Pope Gregory XIII in the 16th century). When Caesar lived is another question. According to Fomenko, he lived about 1,000 years ago. Tradition says it was 2,000."
This history of the war between the city states of Athens and Sparta, whose start Scaliger dated to 431 BC and Fomenko 1039, is a key document in the chronology debate, because it describes three verifiable eclipses during the conflict.
