In 1685, an English scholar by the name of Jean Hardouin published an edition of the Roman author Pliny's Natural History. Hardouin, however, had an unusual belief about its origins. He was convinced that all of the ancient records of Greece and Rome were forgeries perpetrated by Benedictine monks, and that all of the Greco-Roman artifacts were similarly faked. By the time of his death in 1729, he had not provided a reason why the Benedictines would fake so much history, nor a shred of evidence to back up his claims. (1) Today an intellectual successor to Hardouin claims that it is not classical antiquity that was forged, but instead the history of the Middle Ages. Russian mathematician Anatoly Fomenko has devised a system he calls the "New Chronology" that he says firmly establishes the fictive nature of the medieval epoch. The University of Moscow professor published a book called Antiquity in the Middle Ages: Greek and Bible History, in which he argues that the written record of human history should be condensed from thousands of years into hundreds of years. For Fomenko, history unfolded not over millennia but centuries. The English edition of the book was published in September 2003, under the title History: Fiction or Science?, with a lurid cover featuring the crucified Christ, but it is not necessary to buy the book to learn about Fomenko's theories. Before the book's translation, he published a 29,000-word summary of his findings online. This opus, written with G. V. Nosovskij, is grandly titled "New Chronology and New Concept of the English History: British Empire as a Direct Successor of the Byzantine-Roman Empire," and it commits as great an assault on the English language as it does on English history. Nevertheless, it is an important and illuminating look at a new wave of alternative history, a history that appeals to Russians because it is designed to restore to post-Soviet Russia some of the power and greatness of its past.
Fomenko begins by telling his readers that English history is flawed and broken. He argues that the source texts used to create our understanding of Britain from the Roman occupation to William the Conqueror are misdated: "In correct version, ancient and medieval English events am to be transferred to the epoch which begins from 9-10th cc [centuries]. Moreover, many of these events prove to be the reflections of certain events from real Byzantine-Roman history of 9-15th cc. Consequently, the Great Britain Empire is a direct successor of medieval Byzantine Empire." (2)
Believe me when I tell you that I am not the kind of person to dwell on strange things that happen to me. I mentioned before about a feeling of dread over the past two nights that actually made me open my eyes and wake up. Just before, between posts actually, I had a feeling of calm and peace as I thought about everyone realizing that we have been tricked all along.
I wondered about the implications of everyone refusing to feed the system and when I thought about that I saw me and my family and multitudes on a beach living freely. Laughing and enjoying life and playing. It gave me even more peace. I then realized that if that were to happen than we wouldn't have electricity.
That led me to wonder about those that were sick in the hospitals and needed the electricity. I received an astonishing answer. It is a leap of faith. Anyone following this thread will realize the implications of what I believe was revealed to me not even a half an hour ago. It is a leap of faith that we believe it will be better and beneficial and those that need help will get it. Strange man. I swear this kind of stuff does not happen to me.
I'm very interested to know if many others have had the 'dread' feeling recently.

here is the egyptian representation of the LAKE OF FIRE (seriously, this is called THE LAKE OF FIRE by the egyptians)
to me, it looks like a door way, emitting some kind of glowing energy field, but the translators of the hieroglyphs assumed from the outset that the ancients had no access to high tech. this is only now being discovered by researching the ancient texts and artifacts. so if rome created all this as a fiction, why'd they bury it so deep that it would take almost 1000 years to figure it out? why create fictional ancient tech? does proto suggest that rome is behind ETs and that therefore, ETs don't exist?
maybe one of you can convince him to take me off ignore so he can answer more questions
