Features: How many mistakes have already made us believe them? How many lies have already made us accustomed to them? You might as well treat this book as a puzzle game manual. Read along and ask yourself a few "why" questions, then calm down and think about it, and see if some of the deeply rooted beliefs in our minds are truly unquestionable? When it comes to classics and history, rulers throughout the ages have often employed clever editing and propaganda techniques. They are very good at lying with the truth, and those who don't fall for it are always among the few. Also remember: Don't jump to conclusions when reading this book. The richer the information you have, the more you will appreciate the author's good intentions. He is absolutely not just simplifying historical records and classics.
