Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko (Russian:
Анато́лий Тимофе́евич
Фоме́нко) (born 13 March 1945 in Donetsk) is a Soviet and Russian mathematician, professor at Moscow State University, well-known as a topologist, and a full member
of the Russian Academy of
Sciences. He was born in Donetsk, Ukraine, USSR. He is a supporter of revising
chronological history.[1]
Mathematical
work
Anatoly T. Fomenko is a full member (Academician) of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(1994), the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (1991), the
International Higher Education Academy of Sciences (1993) and
Russian Academy of Technological Sciences (2009), as well as a
doctor of physics and mathematics (1972), a professor (1980), and
head of the Differential Geometry and Applications Department of
the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics in Moscow State University (1992). Fomenko is
the author of the theory of topological invariants of integrable Hamiltonian
system. He is the author of 180 scientific publications, 26
monographs and textbooks on mathematics, a specialist in geometry
and topology, variational
calculus, symplectic
topology, Hamiltonian geometry and
mechanics, and computer geometry. Fomenko is also the author of
a number of books on the development of new empirico-statistical
methods and their application to the analysis of historical
chronicles as well as the chronology of antiquity and the Middle
Ages.
Fomenko is the author of extensive writings in his original
fields of mathematics, and is also known for his original drawings
inspired by topological objects and structures.
Historical revisionism
Fomenko is a supporter of drastically revising chronological
history. He has created his own revision called New Chronology, based on
statistical correlations, dating of zodiacs, and by examining the mathematics and
astronomy involved in chronology. Fomenko claims that he has
discovered that many historical events do not correspond
mathematically with the dates they are supposed to have occurred
on. He asserts from this that all of ancient history (including the
history of Greece, Rome, and Egypt) is just a reflection of events
that occurred in the Middle Ages and that all of Chinese and
Arab history are fabrications of 17th and 18th century Jesuits.
He also claims that Jesus
lived in the 12th century A.D. and was crucified on Joshua's Hill;
that the Trojan war and the Crusades were the same historical event; and
that Genghis Khan
and the Mongols
were actually Russians. As well as disputing written
chronologies, Fomenko also disputes more objective dating
techniques such as dendrochronology and radiocarbon
dating (see here for an examination of the
latter criticism). His books include Empirico-statistical
Analysis of Narrative Material and Its Applications and
History: Fiction or Science?.
Most Russian scientists considered Fomenko's historical works to
be pseudoscientific[2][3].
