e obelischi. Dalle civiltà perdute in tempi sconosciuti, arrivando agli imperatori cinesi, attraversando il continente americano e scoprendo le meraviglie dell'Egitto e della Mesopotamia. Gengis Khan, i faraoni, Alessandro Magno, il primo imperatore della Cina, i romani e i greci... tutti possedevano una conoscenza impossibile da concepire per quei tempi. Ma anche gli eventi più strani hanno una spiegazione logica. I potenti costruirono amuleti che contenevano Iridio, un metallo extraterrestre arrivato sul nostro pianeta insieme ai meteoriti. Alcuni frammenti di questo metallo sono in grado di creare buchi quantici, che sono minuscoli buchi neri. E con l’aiuto dell’iridio, i potenti si rivedevano in un futuro diverso, in una dimensione parallela, o in un passato remoto... e venivano giudicati e consigliati, per creare gli imperi più potenti dell'epoca. Un gruppo di giovani è stato incaricato di raccogliere gli amuleti del potere. Anche un uomo malvagio li sta cercando e la sua intenzione è dominare il mondo. Cosa nascondono i guerrieri di terracotta? Cosa trasportò in Irlanda un giovane druida? Dove occultarono la tomba di Gengis Khan? Perché furono distrutte Sodoma e Gomorra? I segreti dell'umanità... saranno svelati...A fantasy story that tries to touch upon various subjects related to our living reality, honesty, honor, and more. "White"…
