indianasmith 33 Report post Posted August 24, 2015 A friend of mine told me about this clown over the weekend, so I looked him up today. Just reading his claims makes my brain hurt . . . basically he says everything we think we know about the ancient world is a lie, concocted by European writers in the 1500's. Among other things, the Roman Empire never existed and the current city of Rome was built in the 1200's, Jesus was actually Russian and was crucified on a hill overlooking Constantinople, and the Trojan War and the Crusades are actually garbled accounts of the same event . . . HOW DO YOU FIT THAT MUCH STUPID INTO ONE HEAD???? Anyway, here is a link to his alternative take on history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Fomenko) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic 42 Report post Posted August 25, 2015 Don't think I'll bother. This sort of thing belongs on the History Channel, along with all the Aliens and those strange US citizens in Alaska/buying cars/opening lock-ups etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indianasmith 33 Report post Posted August 25, 2015 You mean the "used-to-be-history" Channel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic 42 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 That's the one. I think they call it 'H2' now. Means they can't have complaints about the lack of History on the History channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
