The Truth About History
Fascinating new research is overturning long-accepted historical "facts" and transforming the story of the past.
Did you know that the Hindenburg airship exploded because its outer skin was coated with a substance later used to fuel space rockets, not because it was filled with hydrogen? Or that the story of ancient China is being transformed by the sensational discovery of 4000-year-old blond, tartan-clad mummies, who lived there long before Chinese culture began? Even 'myths' may turn out to be true: scientists believe they have now found evidence for Noah's Flood in settlements deep beneath the Black Sea.

Stories like these give a radically different view of many of the great people and events of the past. This is a history book you'll find harder to put down than any novel.

It's the truth.
