Women of the History of Mankind

Teaser — “THE HISTORY OF MONEY” Money was never innocent. It was born from blood, built on control, and worshiped as a god. This book tears apart the illusion — exposing the dark machinery that turned human lives into numbers. From ancient gold to digital currencies, every era forged a new form of obedience. But what happens when the illusion cracks? When people realize that value itself was the greatest lie ever sold? Zacky Vicent takes you into the abyss — where greed becomes religion, and silence becomes the price of survival. “The History of Money” is not here to comfort you. It’s here to remind you that freedom was never free — it was bought, sold, and buried under the weight of belief.

Durante todo el período de la Antigua Grecia, una serie de hitos marcaron la historia y generaron puntos de inflexión trascendentales. Desde el nacimiento de la filosofía en Mileto hasta el surgimiento de la democracia en Atenas, la civilización griega dejó una huella indeleble. Muchas figuras han pasado a la historia de la humanidad, como Platón, Pericles, Homero y Safo. Sin embargo, entre todos ellos, hay uno que, a mi juicio, sobresale por encima del resto: una persona que transformó la percepción del mundo conocido y sentó las bases de lo que somos hoy. Me refiero a Alejandro Magno. Su muerte, en el año 323 a. C., marcó un antes y un después; nada volvería a ser igual.

Atlantis! Few words evoke a deeper feeling of wonder, and of an utter sense of irreparable loss than the name of the Lost Continent. And this fascinating mix of feelings has lasted since the times of Plato, the great philosopher who wrote about Atlantis some two and a half millennia ago, when Greece was still the main center of culture in the Western World. But is Atlantis just a myth? A Science Fiction creation? Or is it indeed an actual history, somehow restored to the realm of reality by the magic pen of the prince of philosophers? There is a certain something in the story of Atlantis that captures human imagination and instantly fascinates everyone who reads Plato’s masterful account of the lost prehistoric empire of global extent. Perhaps this something is Plato’s insistence on the fact that he is speaking truthfully, and that the story of Atlantis is an absolute reality.
