When I was writing this book, all the time I was looking for the answer to the question that you may ask me. Why is it necessary – to know History? Will we get more satisfying, tasty food, or special pleasure this way? Increase personal safety?
I like it.
I will try to clarify the meaning of the word «like».
If we learn history so well that we can see the past inside our heads, then we will push the boundaries of our precious personality. We will become… immortal, figuratively and perhaps literally. Take a step towards great resuscitation. After all, the world is eternal. Partake of it. And for this you need to read this book many times. You can slide up and down in Time until the past becomes present.
Let’s go from trilobites and horsetails of the Mesozoic era to Antiquity and the Middle Ages. We will plunge into the world of sophisticated dances, clash of swords and sighs of steam engines. We will ride through the empire of Genghis Khan, learn the poems of the Incas, plunge into the world of the great social experiment of Red Russia. Let’s take a look at World War II step by step. Let’s go through major and minor conflicts after this war. This way you can tell the truth to those who are trying to deceive us.
The story is this; while flipping through the pages, you can see it well. But if you move the book aside, the picture quickly fades. Close your eyes – what is there? Darkness floating in circles. Try creating text with pictures in your head. Does not work? Human memory is structured differently than a computer; it is analog. This has advantages and serious disadvantages.
Let’s single out the scheme of History, focusing on which it is possible to resurrect its entire organism.
Let’s learn to resurrect

Big explosion
The Big Bang is a generally accepted theory of the origin of the universe.
The Big Bang as seen by the artist
Of course, this is the realm of scientific legends and fantasies. First, everything that is now in the world (including this light itself, and even it seems that time itself) is in the so-called proto-Egg. This is an area of space, the size of an atom, with a density of 10 to 90 kg / cm³. For reasons unknown to science, both a large and at the same time a very small Egg explodes. One plasma passes into another, and back at an unimaginable speed, while emitting the so-called relic short-wave radiation. After 380,000 years, everything calms down. The first stable hydrogen atoms appear.
Another 400 million years of boring gray void, and gaseous nebulae appear. Thanks to the all-pervading force of gravitational attraction that does not know distances, cold gas is concentrated in hot stars and, numbering billions of stars in the galaxy.
How much or the foreseeable part of the Universe looks like this… The stellar supercluster has a diameter of 520 million light years, has 100 thousand galaxies and is called Laniakeya (translated from Hawaiian – «Vast skies»). Many such clusters form a semblance of a Network. Red dot – «We are somewhere here»
Formation of the Solar System
Our Galaxy (with a capital letter), otherwise – the Milky Way (Latin – via lactea) is formed 13 billion years ago and has 400 billion stars. The Solar System is 4.5 billion years old. Our Star Abode has eight recognized classical planets, as well as at least five so-called dwarf planets, including Pluto, now expelled from the A group.
Geological eons
Katarchei, Archean
Our planet Earth is formed from a protoplanetary disk in a fairly complete form about 3.5 billion years ago. The first primitive life forms, nuclear-free cells, prokaryotes, appear in its waters after the termination of devastating asteroid bombardments (eon Katarchei, duration 600 million years), as well as the formation, as a result of a chilling glancing blow on Gaia, an object the size of Mars, the future companion of lovers Moons…
A blank for the planet Earth…
To explain the appearance of such a large satellite in an ideal circular orbit around the Earth, scientists have to resort to rather complex schemes.
However, for a long one and a half billion years of the stage of development, called Archaea, life forms hardly develop. The top of the current day after day, year after year, hundreds after hundreds of millions of years of the demiurgic process is prokaryotes, bacteria without a nucleus and eukaryotes at all, the basis of plants and animals, which have this nucleus. Multicellular algae, barely visible to the naked eye, appear.
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine – The Four Bricks of Life
All these organisms have a single, universal common ancestor. The genetic set of living things on Earth is exactly the same. DNA is assembled from four biological molecules – adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.
Proterozoic
Proterozoic (Greek «earlier life») – the longest geological period, 2 billion years, starts 2.5 billion years ago. For one reason or another, oxygen accumulates in the atmosphere. This gas leads to the extinction of almost all anaerobic creatures. The ozone layer is forming. The next trouble is the great Huron glaciation (2.4 – 2.1 billion years ago). Methane combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which is more transparent to reflected light. As a result, the Earth turns into a huge «snowball». It is as cold at the equator as it is in modern Antarctica. Life is preserved in polynyas and reservoirs with melt water.
Great Huron Glaciation. The earth is a snowball
Volcanoes increase levels of carbon dioxide and methane. A new perturbation is being prepared. For some thousand years, significant territories are freed from ice and the planet’s climate returns to the norm known to us.
Sea sponge. This is how it all began…
The second option, explaining the presence of signs of glaciers in the equatorial regions, is a fairly rapid rotation of the Earth’s poles, followed by their return to their place. According to some bold calculations of scientists, the replacement of the North by the South and vice versa takes almost a single day.
One way or another, sea sponges appear, that is, aquatic multicellular animals leading an attached lifestyle, as well as fungi, essence, eukaryotic communities that combine the characteristics of plants and animals. As a result of their vital activity, soil appears.
Gondwana and Laurasia
The single continent of Rodinia is split into two parts. Pieces of sushi diverge to the poles. The northern half is called Laurasia, the southern half is Gondwana.
The sun increases luminosity by 12%. The era of the Precambrian or Cryptozoic, «Hidden Life» (sometimes this is how the aeons of Archean and Proterozoic are called together)
