The Illustrated Secret History of the World: Illustrated companion to The Secret History, visualizing centuries of esoteric belief.

Amazing book full of knowledge not for those with a closed mind. Brings a lot of relevance and understanding to a lot of things that may have before been confusing or misunderstood. I would recommend to anybody with an open mind or those seeker more knowledge and truth. You will be disappointed about the lies you were taught and the lies that shaped your child hood and life.

Mark Booth provides some rather thought-provoking information about the origin of the solar system, the human race and many other ideas and beliefs that are at times weird, strange and even "yeah right" tidbits at the reader that make you think. I hadn't expected to discover that even the stranger concepts and ideas may just be more than just words on a page in a book or cylinder seal, scroll or whatever material ancient societies had to use to document their knowledge given/taught to them by gods/otherworldly being's or whatever you choose to call these entities encountered in ancient times by many cultures this earth has been home to. Having the Illustrated Secret History of the World completes my collection of the same name and is highly recommended to anyone interested in alternative history and secret societies from the past all the way to modern times. Excellent reading with this work from Mark Booth.

My boyfriend is into esoteric readings and is always reading this book. He said it is a good read and he is glad he has it.

Promise you can’t go wrong with this version.

Great read! A little difficult to comprehend some parts, but that's probably just me.

This is actually a better illustrated version of "The History of the World" by Jonathan Black. As in, it's the exact same book, but with way better images. Even the spelling errors and grammatical errors are the same, yet this is a different author? Don't ask me to explain it, it's a mystery to me as well. As to the content of the book, it does require a stretch of the imagination. I pride myself as kind of an outside thinker, but even I had to really take a breath and trudge through some of the book. It brings a lot of disparate ideas and theologies together and IS interesting. I'm about halfway through and am enjoying the book, the images are great and the stories are interesting. I'd recommend.

Very thoughtful and provocative. Quite eye-opening how so many things tie together thru history.

An insightful experience of my life to read this book.

Beautifully illustrated and interesting information

It's a deep read, but ever so entertaining. If you digest this book you will either go completely mad or learn some deeper truths about the way the world has been and is heading. Personally, I think the people that are in the esoteric groups mentioned are mostly just wackadoodle narcissists and insecure men... However, if you seperate the wheat from the chaff, there is true genius there. This book seperates a lot of the wheat from the chaff and leaves the enlightened reader searching for more and reading between the lines. Hold on tight to your subjective reality... It will be threatened. ; )

Very good

a beautiful production of this classic depositary of the knowledge they don't teach you at school or university. A masterpiece of esoteric interpretation.
