This publication is published in a new edition made by A.T. Fomenko. It is noticeably different from the previous ones. For the first time, a complete decoding of the famous Egyptian zodiacs, which record the dates of the ancient history of Egypt, has been obtained. Many researchers of the 19th and 20th centuries tried to decipher and date the zodiacs. However, the decryptions they proposed were partial and did not allow us to unambiguously restore the dates of the zodiacs. Now, with the creation of a new method and with the help of computer analysis, for the first time it has been possible to definitively establish a number of precise astronomical milestones in Egyptian history. It turned out that the Egyptian zodiacs were created no earlier than the 11th century.

The vast majority of the book will not require the reader to have special knowledge in mathematics beyond the first two courses of a higher technical educational institution.

Introduces interest for mathematicians, physicists, mechanics, astronomers and statisticians. The book will undoubtedly be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the ancient world, the Middle Ages and the history of science.
