Istina o povijesti: Kako novi dokazi mijenjaju priču o prošlosti
A collection of historical revisions based on the latest scientific discoveries. In this work, the editors of Reader's Digest debunk numerous myths and misconceptions that have been passed down as fact for years.
The book is lavishly illustrated with over 150 images, including 125 photographs, maps, tables and graphs, allowing readers to see history from a new perspective. Some of the discoveries include:
- Cleopatra was not a beauty as she is today thought to be, but rather short, stout and not very beautiful.
- Lucrezia Borgia probably did not kill anyone, but rather her reputation was poisoned by the enemies of her powerful father, the Pope.
- The Hindenburg disaster was not caused by a hydrogen leak, but by the airship's outer coating containing flammable substances.
- Napoleon did not die of stomach cancer, as is commonly believed, but there are theories suggesting the possibility of poisoning. The Sniffer
This book provides readers with the opportunity to separate fact from fiction and gain a deeper understanding of history through the prism of the latest research.
