The Secret History of the World

De: Mark Booth

Narrado por: John Lee

They say that history is written by the victors. But what if history - or what we have come to know as history - has all along been written by the wrong people? What if everything we've been told is only part of the story? What if it's the wrong part?

In this groundbreaking new work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling intellectual tour of our world's secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise - that everything we've been taught about our world's past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true - Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years.

History is more than a list of things that have happened; it's a measure of consciousness and experience. And in The Secret History of the World, Booth's take on history is relentless, charging through time and space and thought in interdisciplinary fashion. Embracing cognitive science, religion, psychology, historiography, and philosophy, he draws a new timeline, and a huge swath of our cultural heritage that has long been hidden is restored. From Greek and Egyptian mythology to Jewish folklore, from Christian cults to Freemasons, from Charlemagne to Don Quixote, from George Washington to Hitler - Booth shows without a doubt that history as we know it needs a revolutionary rethink, and he has 3,000 years of hidden wisdom to back it up.

Perfect Timing

Interesting, it explains our stupid human beliefs, spirituality while giving you great conversation material at the water cooler.

Captivating from start to finish

After the 3rd chapter I was compelled to purchase the illustrated copy of the book. An incredible array of facts and accounts that holds your interest from start to finish. Highly recommend.

greatest piece of information I've ever received

i like every second of it and recommend it to anyone who is searching for the truth

Wow... You've got my Attention!

I am so facinated and mentally engaged! I enjoyed learning about the people and the philosophies discussed in this book. Makes me want to do some research!

The "REAL" secret!!!

Loved it!! It would seem that "dark energy" is much more than a universe accelerator..Lol. But seriously, it's fascinating to find out the historical relevance mysticism and esoteric thought has had in shaping our present society.

Like the eternal cosmic dance yin & yang engages in within eastern esoteric thought, western science equally has a complementary partner as well whos name just happen to be "the occult". Mark Booth does an excellent job showing the links and dependencies current scientific thought had with ancient occult foundations. From this perspective, it's easier to understand why Newton made his famous statement in a letter to his rival Robert Hooke, "If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."

The narration style is truly engaging and brings the text to life. I highly recommend giving this title a try... you won't regret it!!

A wonderful trip to broaden my knowledge

My mind was expanded and guided through a voyage of wonder, imagination and creativity. My soul experienced and was nurtured with a view of the world that resounded to my deepest cord. Thanks!

Just absolutely amazing in every way!

I can’t remember a more enjoyable read. So many questions answered... and a surprising amount of new information - all of which I feel validated by a resounding resonance. So much gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Booth for helping me connect the dots.

Seems like there is some truth to this

I enjoyed this journey. The narration was smooth and the material seemed for the most part, delivered in a way that was coherent.

Some seemed like conspiracy, but again I don’t have footnotes or the knowledge of these teachings. I do however hope there is more truth than pure fiction, because our current reductionists, scientific world view feels meaningless and pointless and I can never seem to stomach the ideas it professes.

where have you been

this book has been what my soul desired. I connect this philopsand appreciate this book! highly recommend!
