Brief summary
Fomenko claims
1. That the chronology universally taken for granted is simply wrong;
2. That this chronology was essentially invented in the 16th and 17th centuries;
3. That archaeological dating, dendrochronological dating, paleographical dating, carbon dating, and other methods of dating of ancient sources and artifacts known today are erroneous, non-exact or dependent on traditional chronology;
4. That there is not a single document that could be reliably dated earlier than the 11th century;
5. That Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were crafted during the Renaissance by humanists and clergy;
6. That Jesus Christ may have been born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD or even later;
7. That the Old Testament is probably a rendition of Middle Ages events.
