"The Secret History of the World" (2007) by Jonathan Black (pseudonym of Mark Booth) is an alternative history of mankind based on the esoteric teachings and beliefs of secret societies such as the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and Knights Templar. The book became an international bestseller and is often cited as one of the sources of inspiration for Dan Brown's novels. Black argues that the universe began as thought, not matter. History is viewed through the evolution of consciousness, suggesting that spiritual forces and beings have directly shaped physical reality. The author explores how historical figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and George Washington used secret techniques to access higher levels of intelligence through altered states of consciousness. The book suggests that the secrets of philosophy are hidden in plain sight — in architecture, art, literature, and even in the names of the days of the week or in children's stories. The narration stretches from the creation of the universe and ancient mythologies (Egyptian, Greek, Jewish) to the modern era, predicting the coming of the Antichrist and the end of time. Jonathan Black is the 'nom de plume' of Mark Booth, a British publisher who studied philosophy and theology at Oxford. Booth spent decades editing books on alternative history and spirituality, working with authors such as Graham Hancock.
