I was given this link by @jd755 containing other more detailed information regarding John Dee. John Dee, King Arthur, and the Conquest of the Arctic There are some interesting points to make: This article doesn't mention the 'Inventio Fortunata' anywhere. Cnoyen was probably a contemporary of...

The real source of these informations is said to be the now lost book called 'Inventio Fortunata', supposedly written in the 14th century. Inventio Fortunata - Wikipedia A short summary in few points: In the early 1360s, an unnamed Franciscan friar writes the 'Inventio Fortunata' (now lost)...

Here there's a possibly useful tool to look for submerged lands and a different shape of the lands to search. If the climate was harsher in the Homeric times we should expect more land visible in the mediterranean and therefore less sea... Flood Map: Elevation Map, Sea Level Rise Map

Yes the usual five years old fresh on their indoctrination from school. If they survive the next 6 years they will suddenly repent and become boring depressed adults. I just add a link to this blog which tries to go deeper into Vinci's point of view adding more things: new_etymology During the...

This specific author locates Troy in southern Finland, as you can see on the "map" I posted previously. I know that he made a new "corrected" version of his own book recently, so something has changed but I'm not sure what exactly... certainly not Troy's location. All in all I'm not sure that...

Homer actually never calls Scheria an island, instead he repeatedly calls it simply a land. According to author Felice Vinci in his 'The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales', the entire Iliad and Odyssey are set in the Atlantic and Baltic Seas, not to mention the location of the enchantress...

@jd755 asked me to post this link. Restoring Charles Drake's concrete house

Never heard of any 'Siberian Wars'. In the light of Fomenko's reconstruction this is very interesting in any case, since he claims that the Romanovs took over Russia/Tartaria and really managed to impose their rule on the European part (Moscovia) only starting with the reign of Peter the Great...

A premise: I'm not a fan of Google Ngram Viewer as a tool to obtain meaningful insight about the true date of manuscripts etc. In my opinion this method is flawed by the concurrent diffusion of the printing press (not to mention, as a secondary point, the fact that we are talking about Google...

That's for sure. It answered your questions like a confused historian pressed by an angry recentist. I would like to repeat the exact questions you did. What should I do? Do I have to sign up? P.S. Is there another way to try it without giving the phone number?

I think I've got the final 'correct' translation. Hic dominatur et ambulat contra persos Noy princeps tartarorum et imperator super 600 armatorum virorum. Here rules Noah, prince of the Tartars and emperor of more than 600 armed men, and makes war against the Persians. Persians is written as...

@notsogreat what's the source of these photos? I mean not the instagram profile. Do you know?

By the look of it, it seems that archeologists didn't know what to do with those 'stones' and they left them in the same places while reconstructing the stairs all around. I couldn't find an image from above to see if the holes are still there.

For what I know, the 1800s were the period in which historiography started searching obsessivly for ancient ruins and trying to bring back the past contaminated by medieval spuriousness, so to say. Therefore they blindly demolished everything they considered not ancient Greek and actively...

Yes it is. Obviously the 'experts' can come up with a thousand explanations. One could be that the Franks re-used material from another ancient construction in ruin to build the tower. There's always a way to go around problems!

Some more images @KorbenDallas, Fomenko noted how the masonry of the Frankish tower is the same masonry upon which the 'ancient' Greek temple was built. I'm not an expert of masonry so I cannot judge but if it's true then the conclusion is inevitable.

It would be nice to quote the original scholar who initiated it all and conducted the original study: Andreas Tschurilow (Nicht der letzte Tag von Pompeji), author of Features of the Domenico Fontana’s Water Conduit (the Canal of Count Sarno) and the Date of Pompeii Destruction.

I've always been particularly interested in 'ancient' military strategy and according to what I've read about cavalry from that perspective is that a whole of military tactics would have been just impossible without stirrups. So if you consider one of the supposedly major cavalry units of the...

During the Renaissance the 'Graeco-Roman style' was predominantly associated with the Eastern Roman Empire. Here below two examples from the 'Legend of the True Cross' by Piero della Francesca. However what strikes me the most is that in most of these 'ancient' Roman mosaics the...
