Topic: Scaligerian Chronicle

Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler are cited as historical figures who expressed skepticism or outright aggression toward the Scaligerian Chronicle. Newton's posthumous work argued that Greek antiquities were hundreds of years younger than claimed and shifted Egyptian dates forward by 2,000 years. The lack of original historical documents, many of which reportedly disappeared in fires, forces a reliance on copies produced by the very individuals accused of fabricating the timeline.
