| Abstract |
| The already represented antiquity for many languages are most probably and dramatically at odds with reality. The conventional chronology of history which has been mainly prepared by Joseph Scaliger, the Philologist, bears abundant contradictions inside. The New Chronology which is a newly born theory and has come into existence mainly due to preliminary attempts of Anatoly Fomenko, the Russian mathematician, tries to challenge the classic chronology of the Middle eastern and European history and inevitably the history itself, through criticizing the conventional chronology. The present paper, using a descriptive method and through a qualitative approach, studies the contingent effects of the New Chronology on Linguistics, and specially Historical Linguistics for the first time in Iran. It tries to study texts which has been written within the realm of the mentioned theory and to discover where the theory has probably crossed lines with Linguistics. Since historicizing and lengthening of history can lead to national fake pride through psychological war and eventually abuse of them, it is important to know how reliable the world-prevailing academic main stream theories are. |
