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.

c. 3000 BC: Egyptians recognize the apparent retrograde motion of Mars calling it Sekded-ef em khetkhet, one "who travels backward". Ancient Egyptians knew the planet by various names including Har décher (meaning the "Red One") and also Harmakhis.

This rust covered planet is the fourth from the sun and the last of the four terrestrial worlds in the solar system. Mars has 2 moons that are little more than large rocks trapped by the planet's gravity. A Martian day is very similar in length to one Earth day and has both daily and seasonal cycles just as on Earth. Also similar to Earth are the Martian polar caps which are formed mostly by frozen carbon dioxide, not water ice like that on Earth. These caps grow or diminish according to the season, almost disappearing at the time of a Martian summer.

The surface of Mars appears to have networks of canals, but are actually highly cratered and eroded areas which surface dust occasionally blows. Hurricane like winds blow this powdery surface dust around giving the impression of surface changes.

Mars contains the largest known volcanos in the solar system. The largest one known, Olympus Mons, measures 435 miles (700 km) in diameter at its base - only slightly smaller than the state of Texas - and rises to a height of 15 miles (25 km) which is nearly three times taller than Mount Everest on Earth. Scientists have found no direct evidence for recent or ongoing eruptions, but believe that some of the volcanos may still be at least intermittently active.

Mars was the god of war in Roman mythology. The ancient Romans gave Mars special importance because they considered him the father of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. Originally Mars was a god of farmland and fertility. The month of March, the beginning of the Roman growing season, was named for him. Mars became the god of war after the Romans came into contact with Greek culture. They gave him many characteristics of the Greek god of war, Aries. In time, the Romans associated Mars with war. Before going into battle, Roman troops offered sacrifices to him. After winning a battle, they gave Mars a share of their spoils. The word martial, which means warlike, is based on the god's name. Mars is a zodiac planet playing important role in european and chinese astrologies.
