Description
The Issue with Russian Tartary by Gleb Nosovskiy, Mike Yagupov, and Anatoly Fomenko The history of Europe was shaped by a deliberate effort to create a fictional Ancient World, which was used to justify European claims to territories and to distinguish themselves from their Eurasian counterparts. This fabrication, which emerged in the 16th to 17th centuries, involved representing events from the 11th to 16th centuries as having occurred thousands of years earlier, according to the sources they were based on. The European aristocracy, clergy, scientists, and humanists all played a role in creating and disseminating this myth, which served as a means of asserting their power and influence. The myth of Ancient World was used to justify the European claims to countries ruled by the aristocracy, and to distinguish themselves from the Eurasian orthodoxy. The clergy and scientists used this myth as a way to separate themselves from the Christian orthodoxy, and to pursue their own research and discoveries. This fabrication had a profound impact on the course of European history, and it continues to be relevant today. The authors of The Issue with Russian Tartary examine the origins and development of this myth, and explore its significance in understanding the history of Europe.
