Alternative History. Secret societies, mysterious Orders, UFOs, the history of the Sumerians and Egyptians from the point of view of an unbiased researcher. Despite the rather controversial hypotheses and in some places a blatant mixture of historical facts and literary fiction, the book is written in a lively and interesting language, read in one breath. I recommend for the first acquaintance with the views of the "alternatives" - as an example of a shallow, but very exciting immersion in the sphere of "near-scientific" historical facts and unverified rumors.
