Astronomical methods applied to chronology. Ptolemy`s Almagest. Tycho Brahe. Copernicus. The Egyptian zodiacs.
Dr. Prof Anatoly Fomenko and team dissect Almagest of ancient Ptolemy compiled allegedly in 150 a.d. and considered to be the cornerstone of classical history. Their report states: Almagest was compiled in XVI-XVII from astronomical data of IX-XVI. As the King of astronomers Ptolemy is proven to be a medieval phantom, therefore standing acquitted of the crime he was accused of by the late American astrophysicist Robert Newton.
Allegedly ancient Egyptian horoscopes painted in Pharaoh’s tombs of the Valley of Kings or cut in stone in Dendera and Esna for centuries considered impenetrable are decoded at last! All dates contained therein turn out definitely medieval and pertain to the XI the earliest.
Well, how old is ‘ancient’ Egypt actually? Discover highly interesting angles, chunky facts and updates to the biographies of the famous medieval astronomers Tycho Brahe and Copernicus. Reading this book resembles a test flight to the distant past returning with a conclusion: the past is eventually both drastically closer and dramatically different from one taught in school.
