Johnson’s critical stance is in good correspondence with the views voiced by Sir Isaac Newton, Wilhelm Kammeier, Jean Hardouin, Robert Baldauf and Christoph Marx; many of his assertions were confirmed independently by a number of modern scientists who call for a radical revision of historical chronology as we know it, among them the German scientists Hermann Detering, Eugen Gabowitsch and Uwe Topper, as well as the Russian mathematicians Anatoly Fomenko and Gleb Nosovsky.
