Very fiction cleverly designed as factual. Hmmmmm. Sounds familiar.
There was another best seller witten in the early fourth century that fits
that
description.
The all-time best seller, in its various offerings.
Lots of fiction out there that large numbers of people take as fact. The
old adage, "the victors write the history" tells the tale. I have long been
impressed by the human acceptance of truth verification by numbers. My
tribe/group/membership is larger than yours, therefore my truth is the
truth and your truth is not true. Humans will have become semi-civilized
when it is largely accepted that there are many truths.
