This book deals, indirectly, with human ideology through the research of the 6th century B.C., which created the stereotypes of our culture.
From its pages parade: Lao Tzu, Confucius, Buddha, Mahavira, Zoroaster, the most significant prophets of Judea, the Ionian philosophers including Thales, Anaximander, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides.
It is the era of the first attempt at globalization by Cyrus, which turned into despotism under Darius, the birth of Athenian Democracy, which will divert the system, creating from the chaos the Greco-Persian wars.
It is the time of questioning the Vedas – even though the Upanishads are written – of the acquaintance of Yahweh with Ahura Mazda, which brings about a more extensive Zionism, while the Bible is being compiled, the beginning of the fall of the gods of Olympus from the search for Nature, Truth, and the Way.
It is the global heretical century, from which our world is driven with pseudo-transformations, drenched with another perspective, intertwined with our abstention.
