  Did you know that Western civilization has influenced the lives of almost everyone alive today? 
  What do you know about Western civilization? It might sound like a funny question to ask, but a lot of people don’t realize how much the West has impacted the world. The values of Western civilization have influenced laws, people’s sense of individuality, and even our morals. 
  This audiobook will trace Western civilization back to its roots. In this epic quest, we head all the way back to Greece when Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato pondered the very meaning of life. Explore the depths of knowledge that were probed by Greek schools of thought, such as the Stoics and the Cynics. 
  Was it better to stoically grin and bear the troubles of life as the Stoics advised, or was it better to simply shrug one’s shoulders and declare everything to be pointless, stupid, and absurd? 
  And in the middle of these philosophers’ quest, a missionary from Judea named Paul of Tarsus stepped in to spread the “good news” of the Gospels. Christianity and other schools of thought converged, and the Roman Empire helped to facilitate the spread of these ideas far and wide. Soon, the foundations for Western civilization had been firmly established. 
  These ideas would later undergo renaissances, reformations, and scientific revolutions, but the basic foundation has remained in place. Here, in this audiobook, we explore all of the fascinating aspects of the great framework upon which our modern Western civilization rests. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn the following:Greek philosophical and scientific discoveriesThe convergence of Greco-Roman and Christian beliefsHow Western civilization transformed during the Middle AgesAnd much more!

  Today, Tutankhamen is the most famous of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. After his death at the age of nineteen, "King Tut" was forgotten from history, until the discovery of his tomb in 1922 propelled him to worldwide fame. But the circumstances of his death remain shrouded in mystery . . . 
   
   
   
  X-rays of Tutankhamen's skull suggest a violent death. Was it accident or murder? Several members of his family died around the same time—was is coincidence? Why did Tutankhamen's widow send desperate messages to the Hittite king, requesting marriage to one of his sons? And who murdered the Hittite price on his journey to Egypt? Who ordered the removal of Tutankhamen's name from all monuments and temples, and thus from Egyptian history? 
   
   
   
  This fascinating, painstakingly researched book is the first to explore in depth the questionable circumstances of Tutankhamen's demise—and to present a shocking scenario of betrayal, ambition, and murder. In The Murder of Tutankhamen, renowned Egyptologist Bob Brier reveals an exciting journey into ancient history—and a 3,000 year-old mystery that still compels us today.

  Given the growing success of this book, first published in 2009 and then updated in 2014, this third edition has been fully revised and updated by the author, incorporating the latest expressions of social chaos, instrumentalized by the powers that be for the past eight years.
  How to become the masters of the world in the age of the Internet? The good-old method of the pyromaniac fireman still works. Renamed “shock strategy” or social engineering, it consists of plunging populations into crisis and anguish to better centralize order and power in the hands of an oligarchy usurping the identity of the savior. In the twentieth century, politics has moved from the art of persuasion to technical issues of hacking minds and optimizing group management. To that end, several disciplines and approaches are applied—cybernetics, marketing, management—to trap the masses into organized chaos, while they try to respond to the panic provoked by a transhumanist computer dictatorship based on biometrics, the all-digital, the vaccine pass, and eventually the suppression of cash and privacy.

  The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
   
   
   
  Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
   
   
   
  Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.
