Dear readers! We present to you a new book in the “golden series” of the newspaper’s library “Secrets of the 20th Century”. This issue is dedicated to archaeological finds, blind spots of history and people who significantly influenced the development of mankind. The “Archaeological Sensations” section will introduce you to the underground cities of giants and the temples of the Atlanteans; with us you will walk along the Suita road - the oldest man-made path in the world, visit the “cursed”, forgotten and abandoned cities and the Kolyma “cosmodrome” built by who knows who and when. The final part of the section is devoted to the most recent and unique archaeological discoveries made literally a few months before the release of the book. “Blank Spots of History.” From this section you will learn about amazing discoveries that refute the generally accepted version of human history, and therefore are not recognized by official science. You'll see a 3D map of the earth's surface dating back 50 million years and planes built long before the age of mammoths. You will try to read the letters left by unknown guests of our planet at the bottom of the Aral Sea and the “cipher from the past” - the strange Voynich manuscript. The “Power” section is dedicated to people whose individual decisions changed our world, sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. Legendary kings and merciless inquisitors; dolls buried in place of great people, and bloody orgies of those in power. The last days of the royal family; assassination attempt on Lenin: a protest against the existing government or a cruel re-enactment? Stalin's death was beneficial to everyone, but who decided to kill? Is Obama the last president of America? What happens next?
