This book is the third in a new series dedicated to a complete, but at the same time accessible presentation of the ideas and results of the scientific direction “New Chronology”. The first part is devoted to criticism of Scaligerian chronology. The history of the chronological problem is described in detail. It is told who, how and when created the now generally accepted Scaliger-Petavius chronology. It is told about the predecessors of the New Chronology - Isaac Newton, Nikolai Aleksandrovich Morozov and other scientists of the 16th-20th CENTURIES, who EXPRESSED DISCONFIDENCE IN THE Scaliger-Petavius CHRONOLOGY and proposed various ways to correct it. A critical review of DATING METHODS USED BY HISTORIANS is given. In particular, the radiocarbon dating method and its applications in chronology are critically analyzed. The second part describes some of the results of the new chronology - mainly obtained with the help of astronomy. The dating of “ancient” eclipses is discussed - what happens if you date them independently, without regard to the Scaligerian chronology. Also described is the calculated G.V. Nosovsky and A.T. Fomenko to the final dating of the horoscope encrypted in the biblical “Apocalypse” and first discovered by N.A. Morozov. The book does not require special knowledge from the reader and is intended for all those who are interested in the application of natural scientific methods to domestic and world history.
