Sinossi
Excerpt from Oeuvres Completes de Voltaire, Vol. 28: Melanges Historiques
Nous ne trouvons d'autre raifon (le tous ces contes que dans la faibleiïe de l'efprit humain dans le goût du merveilleux dans le penchant à l'imitation dans l'envie de furpalfer fes voilins. Un roi égyptien fe fait enfevelir dans une petite pyramide de douze à quinze pieds un autre veut _être placé dans une pyramide de cent; un troifième va jufqu'à cinq ou fix cents. Un de tes rois eft allé dans les pays orien taux par mer; un des miens ei't allé dans le foleil, a éclairé le monde pendant un jour. Tu bâtis un temple à un boeuf; je vais en bâtir un pour un crocodile. Il y a eu' dans ton pays des géans qui étaient les enfans des génies des fées nous en aurons qui efcaladeront le ciel qui fe battront à coups de montagnes.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This meticulous historical account examines the evolution of human civilization through the rise and fall of empires, the emergence of religions, and the development of beliefs. The author challenges long-held assumptions, unravels historical inaccuracies, and exposes fabricated truths. Exploring ancient China and its contributions to the Western world, the book delves into the significance of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, and questions the validity of claims that China was the origin of civilization for the West. It further investigates the relationship between the Chinese and Egyptian cultures, and refutes the widely held belief that the ancient Chinese practiced cannibalism. The author unveils the complexities of the relationship between Christianity and Islam throughout history, and sheds light on the role of Christianity in shaping Western civilization. The authenticity of religious texts and the validity of miracles are critically examined, separating historical accounts from legends and folklore. The book also explores the evolution of royal power in the West, from Charlemagne to the rise of nation-states, highlighting the transition from religious authority to secular governance. The author challenges the notion of divine right and exposes the political machinations that shaped the modern world. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking and nuanced understanding of the forces that have shaped human history, challenging conventional narratives and uncovering hidden truths that have profound implications for our understanding of the present.
