The Dark Ages are history, man. Google video about a book.

Zany? Conspiratorial? Boring? Jesus and King Arthur roaming the earth at approximately the same time? All according to Russian mathematician Anatoly Fomenko. And who am I to question a mathematician about history? Who are any of us, really? I'll buy that for a dollar.

  • Sorry. Tried to edit it down, ended up posting twice. Will I learn from my own history?
  • A previous post about the phantom time theory
  • Interesting, very interesting.
  • Way to go, MonkeyLion! I'm shocked, shocked I say, that you would do this on the FRONT PAGE!
  • What do you mean, BlueHorse? Do what in the Front Page? Post twice? Is that blanket video a message to me? Color me confused.
  • You posted twice. Right on the front page! Can't be denied, even if the TracKraken destroys the evidence. As your punishment, I have posted a monkey. It's a monkey, a cute widdle monkey with a shocked look on his face. Video, what video? You be postin' da video.
  • Ahhh, I love the smell of confusion in the morning...
  • The first time I clicked on the picture it took me to a YouTube video. But not afterward. Odd.
  • Hmmmmm, here we go with that alternate universe thing again.
  • Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
  • I just love this stuff. I can only assume that the person who carefully crafted all those archaeological and manuscript remains of all those civilisations is the same guy who buried all the fake dinosaur bones. Remember: they call it carbon dating, we call it life.
  • History double posts itself... :p
  • Somebody baste the monkeylion before you put it back in the oven.
  • I think that comment about a video was made to mess with my mind. Is ML trying to rewrite history or what? *puts on tinfoil hat, watches history channel for da truf'
  • Zany and conspiratorial doesn't always mean boring. (YouTube)
  • Thanks for the love, Skrik & Blanky.
  • Darling, basting IS love. That way you don't get too singed. *rolls eyes, pads off to fix Monkeylion a drink*
  • Radical Critic Edwin Johnson wrote an important work, Antiqua Mater, in 1887, which included a little questioning of Paul's historicity, and then wrote in 1894 (7 years later) "The Pauline Epistles: Re-studied and Explained", which started by questioning the historicity of all of Paul's epistles, and continued on to question the reality and existence of all of European history prior to the invention of the printing press. Veeeeerhy Intarestink. But Schtupid! Actually not so stupid, in a media-structures-reality kinda way. Are there any salient points to the argument? Other than the "There's no proof Jesus existed" kinda things?
