Forbidden History: An Unbelievable Collection of Weird, Shocking, and Unusual True Stories, People, and Events They Didn't Teach You in School: Part I. With Fun Facts & Trivia for Adults
History is a story told in a well-lit room. But what about the stories that were left in the dark?
The official narrative is a highlight reel of presidents, treaties, and battles won. It’s a map where the strange, the unsettling, and the truly unbelievable have been smoothed away. This book is the key to the locked archives, a guided tour through the bizarre, forgotten, and forbidden corners of history.
Forbidden History excavates the tales that are too weird, too shocking, and too mysterious for a standard textbook. These are the documented, real-life events that defy easy explanation and challenge our understanding of the world.
Inside, you will journey to the edges of the map and chilling truth behind the Dyatlov Pass incident, where nine experienced hikers fled their tent into a blizzard, terrified of something that left no tracks.How the Australian army, armed with machine guns, declared war on a flock of 20,000 emus - and lost decisively.The eerie, 72-second "Wow! Signal" from deep space - a perfect alien broadcast that was heard once in 1977 and then vanished forever.The horrifying story of the Dancing Plague of 1518, which compelled hundreds of citizens to literally dance themselves to death in the streets of Strasbourg.The official, declassified Pentagon files on UAPs - the physics-defying craft witnessed by elite U.S. Navy pilots that can accelerate and maneuver in ways our science cannot explain.The surgeons who, during a routine biopsy, pulled a living, three-inch python parasite from a human’s brain - the first case of its kind in history.…and dozens more unbelievable-but-true stories of bizarre phenomena, medical marvels, tactical blunders, and unexplained events.
More Than Just a Book of Facts, This is a Curated
Unlike a random list of trivia, this collection is carefully organized into thematic chapters that explore the strange ways nature, reality, and the human mind can warp. Each story is brought to life with engaging narrative and evocative, custom illustrations. Plus, test your knowledge with "Wild Guess" trivia questions and discover fascinating "Did You Know?" factoids scattered throughout the book.
Perfect for history buffs, trivia lovers, fans of mystery podcasts, and anyone who believes the truth is often much stranger than fiction. It is the ideal gift for the curious mind in your life.
