And Fomenko looks like an eminent historian compared to the folks who say St. Petersburg was a sunken city built millennia ago by the Atlantens, rather than by Peter the Great.

And I really don’t get the motivation behind that kind of nonsense. I understand there’s historical curiosities or anomalies like the Antikythera Mechanism or Göbekli Tepe and people can come up with some, shall we say, eccentric ways of trying to explain them - but to come up with that kind of wacked-out pseudo-history is really beyond bizarre.
