The Empire Chronicles - What if Everything We Know is Wrong

What if everything we know is wrong?

What if everything we know about our past is a fabrication; nothing more than an elaborate myth, carefully designed to forever keep the human race from its rightful legacy? What if human history extends much farther back in time, and we are only now coming out of a Dark Age that has lasted for millennia? The scientists tell us:

that itinerant nomads drifted aimlessly for over one hundred thousand years then suddenly, almost overnight, settled down and built great cities;
that these nomads, without a written numbering system, conceived the complex mathematics needed to build the pyramids;
that simple farmers developed calendars whose accuracy equals or surpasses our own;
that shepherds mastered astronomy and recorded detailed observations covering hundreds of years, including stars that are visible today only by telescope;
and that complex written languages appeared literally overnight.

The truth is that scientists have no idea why modern culture suddenly appeared, or even when. Archaeologists claim that they know the answers, but then they also claimed Troy was just a myth, until an amateur German archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, found it.

In this exciting new novel, Mark Barnette begins with what we have been told, adds what the ancient legends say, and brings to life a totally different reality. It all begins with one deceptively simple question: What if everything we know is wrong?
