Unfortunately I became very bored during this. The boat ride nearly killed me. Then the fantastic jump in the plot from (SPOILER) fjords to new world was just a little too much fantasy.

How would the movie industry recover from such a revelation?

you've been reading lately.
If anything modern research is pushing human activity back even further; as humans may have reached North America 40,000 years ago.
Considering the current 7 billion population of Earth I'd say we are apparently heading into another Dark Age.
"Ancient Roman and Greek statues, showing perfect command of the human anatomy, are fakes crafted in the Renaissance, when such command was for the first time attained."
You know what, I've been suspicious of it myself. Sculptures depicting Roman Emperors in the later imperial period were actually a lot more crude than the sculptures depicting public figures from late Republican period!!!
"There was no such thing as the Tartar and Mongol invasion followed by over two centuries of yoke and slavery, because the so-called "Tartars and Mongols" were the actual ancestors of the modern Russians, living in a bilingual state with Turkic spoken as freely as Russian. So, Russia and Turkey were once parts of the same empire. This ancient Russian state was governed by a double structure of civil and military authorities and the hordes were actually professional armies with a tradition of lifelong conscription (the recruitment being the so-called "blood tax"). The Mongol "invasions" were punitive operations against the regions of the empire that attempted tax evasion. Tamerlane was probably a Russian warlord."
This also confirms my suspicion. Slavic peoples, especially women have distinctive 'oriental' look (and I mean this as a complement), now, according to traditional history, Mongols didn't live among Slavic peoples, they didn't have a garrison stationed there, so how could so many Slavic peoples can have that 'oriental' look?
Regarding the mongoloid facial features, the tradition notion is that the invading hordes spent a lot of time raping local women. They did not have garrisons, but the visits were regular and frequent. Not just women have it, of course... just look at Lenin. Clear case of mongoloid feature coupled with advanced syphilis.
Fomenko's theories might be hard to swallow, but I have not seen any plausible explanation as far as why suddenly such a gap in culture and history. It is easy just to call that time Dark Ages, but lack of explanation is bound to breed theories.
"Regarding the mongoloid facial features, the tradition notion is that the invading hordes spent a lot of time raping local women."
I don't agree with it. Mongol armies were throughly professional, they would not have been allowed to loot and rape as they please for the reason it would have made them militarily ineffective.
Certainly Mongol armies during Chinese, Tibetian, and Korean campaign were not allowed to loot and rape. They did commit massacres as organized parties.
"They did not have garrisons, but the visits were regular and frequent."
It was regular, but I don't think it was frequent, raising an army for campaign was never cheap, besides it would have made their defense of their main compound less secure.
"Not just women have it, of course... just look at Lenin. Clear case of mongoloid feature coupled with advanced syphilis."
I don't try to notice it from men, why would I? Lenin doesn't stand a chance compared to some of the Russian ladies I've seen.
"Fomenko's theories might be hard to swallow, but I have not seen any plausible explanation as far as why suddenly such a gap in culture and history. It is easy just to call that time Dark Ages, but lack of explanation is bound to breed theories."
Please take a good look at the wall reliefs depicting Roman emperor Diocletian and the sculputres depciting Pompey for example.
Diocletian was supposed to be several centuries later than Pompey, yet Pompey's sculputre looks a lot more modern and 'renaissence'.
***I don't agree with it.
Well, then you are welcome to develop your own theory. What I presented is a widely accepted notion. Seems like we have a well defined case here - here's the chocolate cake on the table that is half-eaten, a three-year-old with his face covered in chocolate, and you telling me he would never do that. :) Use your Occam razor.
And yes, some Russian women are pretty... but the majority are not too attractive.
.......because Formenko already did it for me

That clearly explains what I said.
"And yes, some Russian women are pretty... but the majority are not too attractive."
Still, 'better' than Lenin, or would you rather......?
