About the book: 2016 / This edition is published in a new edition made by A. T. Fomenko in 2013. It differs markedly from previous ones and is a new study on mathematical chronology and the reconstruction of ancient and medieval history using statistical methods. What are the seven famous wonders of the world? When did the First Ecumenical Council of the Christian Church take place? When did the era “from the Nativity of Christ” begin? The era of the life of Jesus Christ, it turns out, can be determined from the data preserved in the history of the calculation of Paschals. It turns out that the famous “ancient” Labyrinth, described, in particular, by the “ancient” Herodotus, is underground Moscow .The prophecy of Daniel tells about events in Rus' in the second half of the 16th century. This study concerns only the historical, but not theological content of the Bible. It does not affect the fundamentals of the doctrine set forth in the Bible and does not question the religious dogmas of those religions for which the Bible is a sacred book. The book is read with unflagging interest, it will attract the attention of everyone who is concerned about the problems of ancient and medieval history.
