New Chronology (Fomenko)

The New Chronology of Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko is an attempt to rewrite world chronology, based on his conclusion that world chronology as we know it today is fundamentally flawed. The ideas of the New Chronology are a direct continuation of earlier theories of Nikolai Morozov. The theory is commonly associated with the name of Fomenko, although it is, in fact, a collaboration of Fomenko with several other Russian mathematicians, most important being Gleb Vladimirovich Nosovsky.

The "New Chronology" is radically shorter than the conventional chronology, because all of ancient Greek/Roman/Egyptian history is "folded" onto the Middle Ages, and antiquity and the Dark Ages are eliminated. According to Fomenko, the history of humankind goes only as far as AD 800, we have almost no information about events between AD 800-1000, and most historical events we know took place in AD 1000-1500. Unsurprisingly, these views are entirely rejected by mainstream scholarship.
