New Chronology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "New Chronology" can refer to a number of attempts to rewrite the conventional chronology (the science of locating events in time):

• The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, a book by Isaac Newton
• Revised Chronology, part of the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky, which sought to explain various events in myth and legend scientifically; detailed in his book Ages in Chaos
• The Glasgow Chronology, a different chronology of Egypt proposed by David Rohl
• The writings of Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov
• New Chronology (Fomenko), a proposition by Anatoly Fomenko that world history started roughly around AD 1000, and nearly all "ancient" history is actually the history of the same culture

All these theories are related to each other in the sense that they all start from Newton's work. However, they arrive at very different conclusions. Rohl's theory is the continuation of work of Newton and Velikovsky; Fomenko's is derived from Newton's and Morozov's.
