About this listen
From the esoteric account of the evolution of the species to the occult roots of science, from the secrets of the Flood to the esoteric motives behind American foreign policy, here is a narrative history that shows the basic facts of human existence on this planet can be viewed from a very different angle. Everything in this history is upside down, inside out and the other way around.
At the heart of The Secret History of the World is the belief that we can reach an altered state of consciousness in which we can see things about the way the world works that are hidden from us in our everyday, commonsensical consciousness. This history shows that by using secret techniques, people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and George Washington have worked themselves into this altered state - and been able to access supernatural levels of intelligence. There have been many books on the subject, but, extraordinarily, no-one has really listened to what the secret societies themselves say.
The author has been helped in his researches by his friendship with a man who is an initiate of more than one secret society, and in one case an initiate of the highest level.

Best pile of rubbish on Audible
This is one of the funniest exaggerations and ridiculous audiobook in the world. Hilarious and stupid at the same time.

Soporific Twaddle.
Very hard to follow, confusing and contradictory. This was my impression. I may change my opinion following a second reading... But that is unlikely to happen.

Interesting
The Secret History of the World is interesting from the point of view of Mythology, but disappointing otherwise.

Awful
The dreary reader, really made this awful book quite unacceptable. Over the 20 or so hours of droning on about this so called secret history, I noticed some few snippets that appeared moderately interesting. This book could easily be rewritten and abridged - by a real author - to about 40-50 pages of useful information. Subjects were dealt with in aparent detail, but on consideration the detail was ephemeral and there was little to connect one data dump with the next data dump. Quite the worst thing I have ever read or heard. Pedantic self important.......

very dissappointing
absolute waste of my credit to listen to incoherant mumbo jumbo dressed up as fact.
my advice is dont make the same mistake as I did. If you want a good audio book than by pass this one.

God awful
The narrator comes across as being condescending. I found myself getting infuriatingly impatient with the speed the text progressed. Like we are being talked to as children. I was a neophyte in AMORC so it was interesting to see how bizarre this could get. I must be a slave to the modern scientific method.

Is this some kind of joke?
I couldn't finish this book and I would advise you not to start it.
If you have ever wondered what a deeply senile Harry Potter would write, having been commissioned to document his views on world history and science, then this is the book for you. It is packed tight with mumbo-jumbo and pseudoscience, with about 4 or 5 unfounded, ill-informed attacks on science every minute whilst praising any ridiculous, deluded belief of our ancestors as ancient "wisdom". Mr Black manages to misquote and distort Schr?dinger?s Cat, Quantum Physics, Robotics and a host of other scientific theories in this shambolic, flighty and ignorant book. If "Mr Black" (pseudonym adopted either through sheer embarrassment or to create the illusion of yet another conspiracy) could have got away with stating as fact that there is a conspiracy to cover up the existence and true identity of the tooth-fairy then it would be in here for you to read and become enlightened about.
It bewilders me how this book was ever published, not because of any subversive, insightful material about secret societies that the powers-that-be do not want revealed, but because it is unvarnished, untalented, poorly-researched tat. If there are secret societies out there, which I am quite sure there are, then this is just the sort of book that they would be over the moon to see published as it utterly undermines any credibility to their existence and portrays anyone who believes in them as lunatics.
I find it hard to believe that this man attended Oxford University and spent 20 years researching this book. He should have stayed in bed. Oh, and the narrator cannot pronounce the word "Because", which was the high-point of the book.

Not Worth It
This audiobook wasn't what i expected it would be and wish i hadn't spent the credit on it. If I hadn't have used the credit on it i would not have bothered listening to it.
For me personally what the audiobook talks about is nonsense and unscientific, but if you believe in a world where gods are real and have affected humans in the past then this is the perfect book for you
