Book Overview

A New York Times bestseller, Mark Booth's The Secret History of the World is "an entire library's worth of scholarship in] a single volume" (San Francisco Gate).

"Authentically mind-boggling." --Kirkus Reviews

They say that history is written by the victors. But what if history--or what we have come to know as history--has been written by the wrong people? What if everything we've been told...

What a waste of time to read

This book is a joke, it's not an academic look at the history of secrets society but a silly attempt connect every conspiracy, religious philosophy, and historical event to Atlantis (who Plato himself called an allegory). The author for example compares Dionysus, Rama, and Noah as some kind of forgotten story of pre-historic Alexander the Great but he makes no attempt to explain anything or show how these mythology could be linked but make everything connected to Atlantis. Given the fact the Atlantis narrative in Plato's Timaeus and Critias is A short and B incomplete how does guy get the claim the Noah, Dionysus, and Vishnu are all from Atlantis or represent an archetype. The rest of the book is poorly explained and has no new ideas nor any unqiue historical conclusions. Stay away from this book and save your money.
