My former two posts might make clear that something might be wrong with the interpretation of our historical record. Already in the 17th century skeptics as Isaac Newton & Jean Hardouin criticized the generally accepted chronology of ancient & medieval history compiled by Joseph Scaliger & Dionysus Petavius. Nikolai Morozov used mathematics & astronomy to show that history has been tampered with, which influenced Anatoly Fomenko to compile a New Chronology. Also Immanuel Velikovsky, Florin Diacu & Garry Kasparov, in his Mathematics of the Past, share their opinions on a tampered world history ...
The works of all these authors contain the general notion of a collapsing world-empire at the end of what we consider to be the Middle Ages. This aligns quite well with the research of World-Systems Analysis: The world-economy we’re living in today can only be the result of a collapsed world-empire.
- The important difference between those two types of world-system is that a world-economy has scattered political power among different entities, about 200 nations nowadays, while a world-empire is just 1 political entity, eventually helped by subsidiary provinces ...
- The important similarity between those two types of world-system is that both of them are 1 economic entity. In a world-empire just 1 set of laws applies to everyone, but in a world-economy you can choose between about 200 different ones nowadays. I guess you can guess why a stakeholder of an MNC favors this situation ...
Also the tracking of economic cycles seems to point out that our history might have been tampered with. A nice indication of the existence of a medieval world-empire that encompassed the whole of Eurasia, North Africa & even the Latin American highlands might be found in the position of Vladimir, a Russian city whose name means “ruler of the world”: You can find many of the Eurasian capitals in concentric circles around it ...
