I don’t know if anyone read the books of Anatoly Fomenko? He is a Russian historian/mathematician who wrote 4 volumes with his insights in how history has been falsified. JVP referred to him quite a lot in his books and it was on my list of books to read. You can find his volumes on pdf for free on the internet, but I think I’m going to buy his books, because there seem to be interesting pictures and maps in them that you cannot find in the pdf.
He also wrote the New Chronology theory allthatsinteresting.com/anatoly-fomenko-new-chronology:
"Since the 1970s, Fomenko (born in 1945) has been building, refining, and publishing his ideas claiming that the history we all know to be true has been largely fabricated, that centuries upon centuries’ worth of history was either faked by devious scribes or wildly misinterpreted by scholars While the finer points of the Fomenko theory are as convoluted and confusing as you might expect, the guiding principle is that recorded history before the 11th-14th centuries is generally unreliable for various reasons. Virtually all extant documents from the period before that time, Fomenko writes, are untrustworthy, due to a number of factors: poor timekeeping devices, inconsistent record-keeping, limited availability of surviving documents, lack of movable type, and so on. Moreover, Fomenko argues, pre-Renaissance history was largely fabricated by a number of writers, most of whom did so at the behest of the Catholic Church and other Christian leaders of the time so that they could present historical “evidence” to back up claims made in the Bible. Along these lines, Fomenko specifically focuses on the writings of 16th-century French Christian scholar Joseph Scaliger. According to Fomenko, Scaliger ranks among the leading historians of the time who helped forge and propagate the “false” record of pre-Rennaisance history that persists to this day. Along these lines, Fomenko specifically focuses on the writings of 16th-century French Christian scholar Joseph Scaliger. According to Fomenko, Scaliger ranks among the leading historians of the time who helped forge and propagate the “false” record of pre-Rennaisance history that persists to this day. For example, Fomenko believes that most Eurasian history between the third and 11th centuries A.D. was concocted by historians of the 13th-17th centuries A.D. who created a false record of those prior centuries by filling that record with variations of events that were happening during the 13th-17th centuries. A similar thing happened with the Bible, Fomenko claims. He writes that the Bible we know today is largely built on 11th-14th-century fabrications and revisions to older texts and that these fabrications and revisions actually reflect events that were happening in the 11th-14th centuries. So, Fomenko theorizes that the Babylonian captivity described in the Bible (in which in the Jews of the Kingdom of Judah were invaded by Babylon and held captive there for 70 years in the sixth century B.C.) is actually a false history inspired by the nearly 70-year Avignon Papacy period in which seven popes resided in Avignon, France as opposed to Rome due to pressure from the French monarchy."
A quote of Fomenko I quite liked: "Saint Augustine was quite prescient when he said: 'be wary of mathematicians, particularly when they speak the truth.'"
