All "ancient" egyptian horoscopes and mummies are mediaeval fakes?




Learn how and why Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were invented and crafted during Renaissance. Discover the Old Testament as a veiled rendition of events of Middle Ages written centuries after the New Testament. Perceive the Crusaders as contemporaries of The Crucifixion punishing the tormentors of the Messiah. What if Jesus Christ was born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD?

Sounds unbelievable? Not after you've read "History: Fiction or Science?" by Anatoly Fomenko, leading mathematician of our time. He follows in steps of Sir Isaac Newton, finds clear evidence of falsification of History by clergy and humanists. Armed with computers, astronomy and statistics he proves the history of humankind to be both dramatically different and drastically shorter than generally presumed.

    SYNOPSIS

    Seville, Spain, 17th century
    Outside the Commendatore's house at night
    Leporello (Don Giovanni's servant) is standing guard outside the Commendatore's house as his master is inside on yet another amorous adventure. Donna Anna approaches, chasing Don Giovanni, who is concealing his face. Donna Anna's father, the Commendatore, appears and confronts Giovanni, demanding a duel for his daughter's honor. Giovanni doesn't wish to fight one as old as the Commendatore, but the fight begins with the Commendatore receiving a mortal wound. Donna Anna has fled to find help. Giovanni and Leporello escape and Donna Anna returns with Ottavio and faints over the body of her dead father . Ottavio invites her to marry him and take an oath of vengeance.




    A street in Seville at dawn
    Giovanni and Leporello see Donna Elvira, in travelling clothes so she is unrecognizable, pursuing a former lover. It turns out that Elvira is a former Giovanni conquest. Giovanni and Elvira recognize each other after Giovanni has made advances towards her. She is furious and he escapes her venom leaving Leporello to discuss Giovanni's many, many women. And although Giovanni is willing to take anyone, he prefers the young novice.

    In the countryside, mid-morning
    A peasant wedding is underway with Zerlina marrying Masetto. Giovanni is immediately attracted to Zerlina and invites the entire wedding party back to his house. Masetto immediately recognizes Giovanni and upbraids Zerlina. Giovanni flatters Zerlina with an offer of marriage. She wavers, still thinking about Masetto, but eventually submits to Giovanni's charms . Anna and Ottavio talk with Giovanni about their plans for vengeance (they are unaware that it was he who killed Anna's father), and he offers his assistance. Elvira interrupts and tells Anna not to trust Giovanni. While Anna and Ottavio are confused, Giovanni tries to quiet Elvira and tells everyone that she is quite mad. Elvira grows more vehement in her denunciation of Giovanni. In Giovanni's farewell to Elvira, Anna believes she recognizes him as the man who tried to seduce her the previous evening. She shares her concerns with Ottavio, who has a hard time believing in Giovanni's villainy. Giovanni congratulates Leporello on getting rid of Elvira and prepares for the afternoons activities which will include at least ten more conquests.

    Giovanni's garden in the afternoon
    Zerlina wins back Masetto, though when she hears Giovanni's voice she becomes flustered. Giovanni gives orders to his servants and upon seeing the hiding Zerlina begins his amorous advances again. Masetto comes out of hiding to lead Zerlina into the house. Elvira, Anna and Ottavio approach the house in masks. Leporello sees them and invites them to the party (not recognizing them due to their masks). They pray for vengeance and enter.

    The ballroom in Giovanni's house
    Giovanni and Leporello are entertaining the guests, while Masetto warns Zerlina to be careful. Everyone begins dancing. Giovanni drags Zerlina out to go to his bedroom, but she screams and Masetto rushes after them. Giovanni blames Leporello and offers to kill him on the spot. The vengeful trio unmask and, with Zerlina, denounce Giovanni. Using Leporello as a human shield, Giovanni and Leporello escape.

    A street in Seville outside Donna Elvira's house
    Leporello threatens to leave Giovanni unless Giovanni is willing to give up women. Giovanni claims he needs women as much as food and air. Giovanni suggests that he and Leporello exchange outfits so Giovanni can pursue Elvira's maid. Elvira appears at her window, still in love with Giovanni. Giovanni returns her affections, but she denounces him although weakening with his continued pleas. She comes down to the disguised Leporello (thinking him Giovanni) who has been told by Giovanni to keep her busy while he serenades the maid. But Masetto and his friends have arrived to kill Giovanni. The disguised Giovanni sympathizes with them and gives them directions on how to recognize Giovanni. Masetto stays with the disguised Giovanni while the remainder of the group goes out to search for him. After the group leaves, Giovanni beats Masetto and disappears. Hearing groans, Zerlina comes in to comfort Masetto.

    A courtyard at Donna Anna's house
    Seeing lights, Leporello and Elvira hide in the yard as Leporello intends to leave Elvira. She begs him not to leave her as he searches for an exit. Anna and Ottavio appear and he renews his marriage pledge. Elvira's search for "Giovanni" and Leporello's search for an exit are interrupted by Zerlina and Masetto. All denounce Giovanni, though Elvira pleads for mercy and Leporello identifies himself as just the servant following his master's orders. Everyone turns on Leporello who makes excuses as he escapes. Ottavio wants to go to the authorities and asks everyone else to watch over Anna while he avenges her.

    A graveyard at night
    Giovanni scales the walls of the graveyard to avoid another "adventure". Leporello joins him and is upset to discover that Giovanni's latest conquest has been a girl whom Leporello fancies. Giovanni's laughter is interrupted by a solemn voice that seems to be coming from the statue of the Commendatore. Giovanni and Leporello read the inscription on the tomb "I await vengeance on the villain who slew me". Giovanni forces Leporello to invite the statue to supper. The statue agrees and Giovanni and Leporello exit to prepare for the meal.

    A darkened room in Donna Anna's house
    Ottavio is pressuring Anna to marry him but she feels it is a most inappropriate time so close to her father's death. So be it, responds Ottavio.

    The dining room in Don Giovanni's house
    Giovanni is eating without waiting for his guest. Musicians are playing a variety of tunes as Leporello gets caught with his mouth full of stolen food. Elvira comes in and begs Giovanni to repent his ways. He laughs and says that wine and women are his two most favorite things and he will never give them up. Elvira, dejected, leaves. Outside, her scream is heard and when Leporello investigates, he returns in terror babbling about a white stone man. A knock is heard and Giovanni answers. It is the statue of the Commendatore. While the statue cannot eat, he invites Giovanni to join him and Giovanni accepts with a handshake. The Commendatore tells him he must repent which Giovanni refuses and is dragged into the flames of hell.

    All rush in to discover a terrified Leporello. Ottavio again asks Anna to marry him, Anna replies that she will in a year, Elvira decides to enter a convent, Zerlina and Masetto will marry and Leporello will find a better job. All agree that Giovanni met an appropriate end "This is the end of the evil-doer: his death is as bad as his life."
