Anatoly Fomenko
Anatoly Fomenko is a Russian mathematician and historical researcher and the proponent of New Chronology, a revised historiography of the world.
Ideas
Crucifixion Darkness
Fomenko alleges that the "darkness" for "3 hours" at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, according to the mainstream narrative on 04/03, 33 AD, was a solar eclipse, which makes more sense than the mainstream (lack of) explanation for such curious event, which may well have been the combination of clouds, sand storms and other meteorological phenomena, extending the maximum period of a total solar eclipse.
But then, from the alleged location of the crucifixion, a solar eclipse must have been visible.
Fomenko positions "Jerusalem" in Constantinople/Byzantium/Istanbul, so this must have been a hill nearby.
Fomenko states "1170 ± 20 AD". And on page 388 of New Chronology:
"It turns out that the solar eclipse of 1185 A.D. [??] corresponds a lot more to the real dating of the Crucifixion."
Possible candidates (not in Istanbul):
- 1152 AD
