Historians from Polybius to Giambattista Vico and Karl Marx have entertained the notion that history moves in definite cycles. Polybius referred to political cycles, Vico believed in a three cycle-pattern based on divine intervention, and Marx believed in an economic viewpoint for history. Fomenko's new chronology claim that this is due to historical records which describe same events being misdated in different time periods.
