A new edition of ‘The Secret History of Europe’


History Daily has published the latest revised version of my bestselling work on France! With over forty new accounts and 150 new illustrations from more leading European historians and cartographers to add to the existing exclusive line-up of sixty historic photographs, ‘The Secret History of Europe’ is now at the centre of an exciting new chapter in my writings. My new life begins today as a historical consultant for the British government...


Introduction


In my book The Secret History of Europe (published in 2015), I took up the challenge set out by me when I penned and submitted the original manuscript in 2012 to make this accessible to a wider audience for the first time in print. As well as being extensively discussed in the press, it had sold more than eight million copies by then. Less than two years after its launch, with reviews lauding the historical reasoning, the writing and the wealth of information on… Read More

The Ancient Greeks and their Maps

The Ancient Greek maps we see today were made around 6,000 years ago, long before the invention of a single global map.


The Ancient Greece was so prosperous that the surviving classical world contained every continent known to us today. There were at least twenty of these globes in existence, although I’d estimate more because my extensive research shows only a few of them survived.


Ancient Greek maps were the earliest maps known to be produced. These maps could contain vast written space or depict cross-sections of an entire city. Ancient Greece was the wealthiest civilisation until 500 B.C. In 400 B.C. Sulla, Rome conquered Greece with five armies, including one that was led by Julius Caesar.

Is there a European country?

No. You must search for an example of an ancient European country.

Response from Prof. David Cannell to this comment reply to my comment: Your critique is accurate...the title sounds funny today because that was very unusual what I did. Well done to you!

In addition, I should have said the title of my paper was “Lecture-length source code and simulations based simplification tools for multithread codes” as opposed to the more general title “Replic...

Uscis Encountered An Unknown Error Retrieving Your Data

September 25, 2016: Upset you think? If you are like me and run an IOT deployment using the IoTKit backend, it can be a bit challenging to manage your deployed devices. By navigating through a process of looking at each piece of information (the device ID, configuration JSON, configuration file) one at a time, you should be able to get back to the IoTKit code quickly. Following these steps should help you to figure out what has happened is all. Run the following script in a clean Linux environment on your IOT device: sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d Once up, this will prompt your user interface to connect to a network adapter, and where the data is stored. These scripts assume that you have downloaded & installed the latest Iotkit with drivers from this page: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/iotkit/index.html.​ To select a network adapter type, we use the command: sudo iotkit --display-network-adapters --connection-type=wlan0 We select the local loopback n...

Doomsday Discs Wmd

The name is entirely wrong, I suspect. The list is almost exactly the same as below; in the future, you will be receiving a signal on each side of the "centerline", but instead of a red "D" you will get a dot. Each side will receive the exact same message, such as "you have reached our destination." 13x8 FAST BOND FISH LIGHT STRANGLING SHELL 15 DAYS PRIME GAS HULK ROCKET SLOPE HAM 15 NIGHTS ESSALOT TURTLES POWDER KIT But that is why the whole thing is wrong. There is no "DOT" in his name. The signal never says anything like "you have arrived.", only 'You have reached our destination.' And the message has also been changed to make it misleading. If someone reaches the centerline on one side, and sees the signal next to it on the other side, then they can reach the "D" and read the message. There are more examples of the signals, that would actually transmit actual information, not just nonsense. If I send you the compl...
