Description
The Issue with Dark Ages by Anatoly Fomenko and Gleb Nosovskiy A provocative challenge to conventional wisdom, this book argues that the medieval period was not as dark as traditionally believed. Fomenko and Nosovskiy contend that the history of Europe was deliberately constructed in the 16th-19th centuries to justify European powers' claims to territories once ruled by the Byzantine Empire. By manipulating chronology and inventing a fictional ancient world, European aristocrats, clergy, scientists, and humanists created a narrative that served their interests. This fabrication allowed them to present themselves as the inheritors of a more ancient and enlightened civilization, while downplaying the achievements of the Byzantine Empire. This book presents a compelling case for reevaluating our understanding of history, challenging the dominant narratives that have shaped our perception of the past.
