What Really Happened In The Past?
It is a broad, but fascinating topic for our round table this time. In this hectic time of change, with major new conspiracies regularly being unearthed, we should be reminded of, and appreciate, those who tried to preserve an accurate telling of past events in the face of cover-ups, white-washes, propaganda and blatant ignorance.
Many things in history did not happen as we are told in state education and main stream sources. What example do you have? Which topic do you find most intriguing?
Thanks to everyone who made a suggestion and voted and to u/Gottmituns for the winning suggestion.
The "New Chronology" by Fomenko is very very good.
Here's the first of 24 eps - in Russian with English subs... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvvpB6FpH98
This is based on a book, which you can find along with all 24 DVDs on concen.org, a great site if you don't know about it already. Subs for most but not all eps are there.
They've used scientific principles to sort a lot of historical errors out. It's really worth watching the whole lot if that's interesting to you.
Some highlights:
The pyramids were build around 1000 years ago.
The pyramids are a primitive form of concrete.
Both these illuminating facts are literally written in hieroglyphics.
Ancient Rome, Jesus, a bunch of that stuff, was also 600-1000 years ago
Apparently Ptolemy made some observations of the moon around 50AD-100AD.
NASA looked at the observations and found they did not match current observations of the moon.
Our moon observations would place Ptolemy around 1000 years ago.
NASA's theory is that the moon shifted orbits, because the AD dates can't possibly be wrong.
I cannot fathom how completely stupid someone has to be to come up with that theory.
Towards the end, the series gets into the idea of Moscow being the ancient Babylon. I don't know; maybe they are using their ideas to push a Russian agenda. But their logic early on is so solid.
