Some people often complain about "historians with their stories", but we should also pay tribute to mathematicians with "their formulas". Especially when you're an academic, a topology genius, and suddenly it gets "boring". I looked at the graph of the moon's movement, noticed a strange twist ("jump" in the line) in the 10th century area, and the only correct conclusion occurred to me: the twist is not lying, all world history is lying! To Anatoly Fomenko and his "chronology" with all due respect - the greatest attraction of mental gymnastics, when a stern technician opened the doors to all "humanitarianism". The logic is simply killer, and this is why I loved it: if you take lists of rulers from different eras, say, the ancient kings of Israel and the medieval emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and plot the length of their reigns, the lines will overlap suspiciously (as will the global warming effect of the pyranes). The magic of numbers worked. Why believe the chronicles, are there statistics? Mathematics is an exact science and does not make mistakes. This means that the medieval monks Scaliger and Patavius ​​simply sat down, "wrote" and artificially "extended history" by several thousand years, creating "phantom doubles". But in reality, everything was much more compact, more enjoyable and took place within the framework of one huge medieval empire, the "Russian Horde", stretching from the English Channel to America. For people who experienced the collapse of the Soviet Union, such a psychotherapeutic scale was a great success - the graphs and tables looked like "irrefutable incriminating evidence". The real action began when mathematicians decided that for total victory they also needed to rewrite linguistics. Why study dead languages ​​and delve into birch bark letters if you can invent "phonetic etymology"? His rules: vowels have no meaning (in ancient times they were not written at all, so we change them as we please), and consonants, if even slightly similar, are declared twins. Armed with a new method, Fomenko and his friends staged a total obscure pogrom on the world map.
