I am not sure if posting it here is ok, if it doesn't belong please delete. It’s kind of alternative history; yet, the writer claims it to be the true history with the real timeline. I have recently skimmed the book over, which can be easily found and downloaded from the net (history: fiction or science) Some of the claims like placing Jesus Christ birth in the eleventh century or maintaining that human civilization didn’t exist before that time is far fetched and so I wanted to put it aside - the book gives the impression of modern heretic writing, however another claim, that of inconsistent timeline makes a lot of sense in places. Newton also was unhappy with the chronology compiled in the seventeen century by Scalliger. Fomenco says point blank that the chronology is invented and that the period known as the Dark Ages was fabricated to accommodate it.
According to this, Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire emerge from either fantastic stories or are a result of true events that happened much much later but were forged to appear ancient. During the renaissance forgers often did just that and many such corrupt renderings were exposed. Old Testament apparently was written after the New Testament had already been in place. My knowledge of both is non existent so I can’t say much whether it might be the case. He claims also that no ruins of ancient Greece have ever been discovered and what is there today are modern replicas. This is likely true, but the Roman structures having been built, according to the book, toward the end of the Middle Ages, this sounds like pure fantasy.
There are hundreds of inconsistencies pointed out. Astrological fabrications, paintings depicting ancients who are clad in late medieval garb I don’t know if someone here is familiar with this stuff, if so how valid these claims might be. History is not set in stone or in this case mostly on paper. We take for granted what is written by scholars while much of it is the interpretation of writings of unverified sources.
