New chronology (Fomenko)

Uncommon card · No. 87200

The new chronology is a pseudohistorical theory which argues that events generally attributed to the ancient civilizations of Rome, Greece and Egypt, among others, actually occurred during the Middle Ages, more than a thousand years later. The theory, which further proposes that world history prior to 1600 AD was centered around a global empire called Great Tartaria, has been widely falsified to suit the interests of a number of different conspirators, including the Vatican, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Russian House of Romanov. The theory was first widely disseminated in the 1990s by Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov and later by mathematician Anatoly Fomenko. Reception from mainstream scholars has been universally negative.
