European antiquity is not old at all

Modern science in general and historical science in particular is almost entirely occupied with serving the interests of social parasites. The falsifiers of history have been given a very simple task: to create an ancient and great past for all historically young peoples. But the only truly ancient people - the Slavs, artificially divided into several nationalities - are ordered to sculpt the image of a wild people more recently. This is done with one goal - to instill an inferiority complex in the Russian person, to suppress his will to resist his own genocide and to recreate his Civilization. The history of Russia since the time of Lomonosov is fabricated against the background of supposedly ancient and civilized Europe. In reality, everything was the other way around … One of the European myths is debunked by Nikolai Fomenko in his monograph "400 Years of Deception", a fragment of which we present below.

When did the construction of the Cologne Cathedral begin?

Today we are told that the famous Cologne Cathedral in the German city of Cologne was allegedly built over several hundred years.

rice. 1 (construction of the Cologne Cathedral in the Middle Ages. On the left you can see an unfinished tower with an overhanging wooden crane.

It is believed that construction began in the Middle Ages, allegedly in the 4th century AD. Then the cathedral was allegedly rebuilt many times, and nothing has survived from these "early cathedrals" today. The construction of a Gothic cathedral on this site was allegedly started in 1248. They even call the exact date: August 15, 1248. It is further assumed that construction was “largely” completed in the 16th century, around 1560. Then this huge medieval cathedral was allegedly only partially restored and slightly renovated, but in general its appearance changed little, Fig. 2 (modern view of Cologne Cathedral. City of Cologne, Germany.

How substantiated is this point of view? When was the cathedral that we see today built? Do we really see a medieval building, the main part of which was created in the XIII-XVI centuries?

In fig. 3 reproduces a diagram from a technical brochure, clearly showing which parts of the cathedral consist of medieval masonry, and which were built in the last two centuries. The full title of the brochure is as follows:, the brochure is intended for specialists interested in the details of the conservation and restoration of stone structures. Printed in Cologne and can be obtained from inside the Cologne Cathedral.

What can be seen from this map of the cathedral? The oldest masonry, namely the masonry of 1248-1560, is shown in the diagram by horizontal shading. All other masonry, depicted in seven other ways - oblique hatching, dotted, etc. - belong already to the era later than 1826!

Chronology of the masonry of the Cologne Cathedral. Taken from a technical brochure. We received this brochure from the Cologne Cathedral itself. It is striking that the oldest medieval masonry from 1248-1560, that is, the horizontal shading in the drawing, is only a small part of the modern building. Indeed, this is only half of the foundation of the cathedral. And even then, this preserved medieval foundation consists of two parts, quite far apart from each other, Fig. 3. All the rest of the masonry, that is, the overwhelming part of the volume of a modern building, appeared here only at the beginning of the 19th century! In particular, there is absolutely no masonry from the 1560-1825 era on the diagram. Does this mean that in the era from 1560 to 1825, that is, about two hundred and fifty years, work was not carried out at all? Or did they not lead to a noticeable change in the structure of the walls of the cathedral?

Thus, German historians and archaeologists tell us in no uncertain terms that the cathedral that we see today was actually completely built in the 19th century! But in this case, on what basis does the Scaligerian story assure us that there is a medieval temple in front of our eyes? Perhaps someone will say: well, even if the cathedral was almost completely created in the 19th century. But it almost certainly reproduces the medieval original that has stood at this place since the 13th century.

And what are the grounds for such a hypothesis? - we say. Are there any authentic medieval drawings depicting Cologne Cathedral earlier than the 17th century? It seems that there are simply no such original drawings dating back to the 17th century. In any case, the same brochure by Arnold Wolff contains only an engraving of 1834-1836 depicting the Cologne Cathedral. It is curious that it shows a cathedral very similar to the modern one. In the album on p. 21 shows, as, apparently, the oldest, only an engraving of 1809 depicting a cathedral. In our opinion, this only means that the construction of the cathedral in its present form began only in the 19th century. Which, in fact, is confirmed by the above scheme of masonry. Construction began around 1820 and was generally completed around 1835. That is about 15 years. An engraving from 1834-1836 recorded the last stage in the creation of the temple. Then, in the 19th and 20th centuries, it was actually restored and rebuilt several times, but its appearance changed slightly.

There were probably some traces of an ancient structure on the site of the modern Cologne Cathedral. After all, some mysterious masonry in some parts of the foundation is marked on the drawing, dating back to the era of allegedly 1248-1560. However, from the same scheme, it clearly follows that this ancient medieval masonry was used, among other things, as a building material during the subsequent construction of the cathedral in the 19th century. Take another look at fig. 3. The left tower of the cathedral in its lower part is lined with stones of the XIX century, between which stones of the XIII-XVI centuries are laid here and there! And the upper half of this tower, like the second tower, by the way, was entirely created only in the 19th century. Thus, the ancient medieval building, which was on the site of the modern Cologne Cathedral, was dismantled in the 19th century, and its material was used for the construction of a virtually new building.

So, we would like to ask historians and archaeologists the following questions:

1) Are there any authentic medieval drawings depicting the Cologne Cathedral, or the building that was in its place before the 17th century?

2) Is it true that the modern Cologne Cathedral "looks like" a medieval temple that stood here earlier than the 19th or 18th century? Our hypothesis: if any temple stood here, then it did not look like what we see today. For example, it was significantly smaller.

Why are there no noticeable traces of masonry from 1560-1825 in the walls of the modern Cologne Cathedral? Doesn't this mean that construction really began only in the 19th century? On the site of some small building dating back to the 13th-16th centuries. By the way, how reliably is the masonry dating supposedly dated to the XIII-XVI centuries? Or maybe these stones were laid here much later, say, in the 17th-18th centuries? By the way, let's ask one more interesting question: how exactly do modern archaeologists date a fragment of masonry? How do they know that this stone was placed in the wall of the cathedral in such and such a year, and not in some other?

In conclusion, let's make a general comment about the strange duration of construction of many famous buildings of the European Middle Ages. According to the Scaligerian story, they were built for a very, very long time. For many hundreds of years. For example, the Strasbourg Munster.

At one time it was the tallest building in Europe. We are told that they began to build it allegedly in 1015, and finished only in 1275. It turns out that it took 260 years to build. Erwin von Steinbach's tower, under Münster, was allegedly built in 162 years. The historian Kohlrausch reasonably notes "… therefore, the entire building (Münster -.) Was built 424 years." Almost half a millennium!

Kohlrausch could not pass by the allegedly very long construction of the Cologne Cathedral. Apparently, realizing that such a strangely long duration needs an explanation, he writes the following: “The Cologne Cathedral, founded in 1248 … the construction lasted 250 years. such slowness, - Kohlrausch theorizes, - is explained by the fact that thousands of images have been excised on his stones. As we begin to understand, the point is not in the images, but in the incorrect Scaligerian chronology, which artificially extended the construction time for many centuries.
