Falsification Of History In Azerbaijan
Falsification of history in Azerbaijan is an evaluative definition, which, according to a number of authors, should characterize the historical research carried out in Azerbaijan with state support. The purpose of these studies, according to critics, is to exalt the Caucasian Albanians as the alleged ancestors of Azerbaijanis and to provide a historical basis for territorial disputes with Armenia. At the same time, the task is, firstly, to root Azerbaijanis in the territory of Azerbaijan, and secondly, to cleanse the latter of the Armenian heritage.Другим способом преуменьшить присутствие армян в древнем и средневековом Закавказье и умалить их роль является переиздание античных и средневековых источников с купюрами, с заменой термина «Армянское государство» на «Албанское государ ...

Nachman Ben-Yehuda
Nachman Ben-Yehuda ( he, נחמן בן יהודה; born 8 March 1948) is a professor emeritus and former dean of the department of sociology and anthropology at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. Masada myth One of his notable subjects of research is the fall of the Masada fortress, the last refuge of a Jewish group, the Sicarii, to the Romans in 73 CE. The Sicarii committed mass suicide rather than surrender to slavery. He views the story of Masada, as presented in the early decades of the State of Israel, as a modern legend. According to his book ''Sacrificing Truth'', the rendition of Josephus was embellished before and after the establishment of the State of Israel. Based on transcripts of the 1963-65 archaeological dig, he claims that the team, led by Yigael Yadin, a former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, fraudulently misrepresented findings and artifacts to fit within a pre-scripted narrative. Ben-Yehuda compared the story as reported in the sole histo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
