Anatoly Timefeevich Fomenko was born in Stalino (now known as Donetsk) in Ukraine 13/03/1945, and is a mathematician and a doctor of physics and mathematics (1972). He became professor at the Moscow State University in1980 and head of the Differential Geometry and Applications Department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics in Moscow State University in 1992.
Fomenko is well-known as a topologist, a computer geometrist, and a supporter of drastically revising historical chronology. He has created his own revision called New Chronology, based on statistical correlations, dating of zodiacs, and by examining the mathematics and astronomy involved in chronology. Fomenko claims that he has discovered that many historical events do not correspond mathematically with the dates they are supposed to have occurred on. He asserts from this that all of ancient history (including the history of Greece, Rome, and Egypt) is just a reflection of events that occurred in the Middle Ages and that all of Chinese and Arab history are fabrications of 17th and 18th century Jesuits. He also claims that Jesus Christ lived in the 12th century A.D. and was crucified in 1083 on a place called Joshua's Hill, located in the Beykoz district of Constantinople (Istanbul), Turkey.
As well as disputing written chronologies, Fomenko also disputes more objective dating techniques such as dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Most Russian scientists consider Fomenko's historical works to be pseudoscientific.
