A fellow by the name of Fomenko is trying to revise history, discrediting all history prior to the Xth Century. As I read it, he's trying to cast Russia as the be all, end all of civilization, and the whole history of Rome and Greece as a Western fiction.
I am the first to admit that I may be misunderstanding this guy but his theories are provocative, to say the least. Am I following his position accurately? Is Fomenko for real? Is he worth the time it takes to talk about him?
I invite comment from our comrades in academia.
