Whispers of the Ancients: The Genetic Secrets of the Balkans: Myths, DNA, and the Untold Story of the Balkans

This book embarks on a journey through time, tracing the deep genetic lineage of the Balkans from its earliest inhabitants to those who walk these lands today. Through cutting-edge DNA analysis, archaeological revelations, and the whispers of ancient texts, long-lost truths begin to emerge. The first settlers of this land left their mark not only in the ruins beneath our feet but in the genetic code carried through generations.
Their origins, migrations, and the transformations of entire peoples are written into the bloodlines of the present. Beneath the myths and legends passed down through centuries lies something far older—fragments of history encoded within us, waiting to be uncovered. The past is not lost. It lives, hidden in the shadows of time, waiting for those who dare to look.

The Roman Revolution: 1 (The Fall of the Roman Empire)

Original price was: £11.99.Current price is: £10.43.
‘An enlightening and lively interpretation of an important but neglected historical period.’ Kirkus Reviews

It was a time of revolution. The Roman Revolution describes the little known “crisis of the third century”, and how it led to a revolutionary new Roman Empire. Long before the more famous collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century, in the years between AD 235-275, barbarian invasions, civil war and plague devastated ancient Rome. Out of this ordeal came new leaders, new government, new armies and a new vision of what it was to be Roman. Best remembered today is the rapid rise of Christianity in this period, as Rome’s pagan gods were rejected, and the emperor Constantine converted to this new religion. Less well remembered is the plethora of other changes that conspired to provide an environment well suited to a religious revolution.

Drawing on the latest research, Nick Holmes looks for new answers to old questions. He charts the rise of the Roman Republic and the classical Roman Empire, examining the roles played by sheer good luck and the benign climate. For example, he emphasises the unexpected death of Alexander the Great and the subsequent weakness of the Greek successor states as the ideal political environment for Rome’s expansion. But Rome’s good fortune did not last. The rise of Sasanian Persia, the growing strength of the German barbarians, and the brutal effects of the Antonine plague caused the near collapse of the Roman Empire in the third century. Focusing on the reigns of the critically important but under-researched emperors in the third century, such as Aurelian, Diocletian and Constantine, he vividly brings to life how Rome just escaped catastrophe in the third century, and embarked on a journey that would take it into a brave new world – one which provided the foundations for modern Europe and America.

This book is the first of a multi-volume series that will chart the full course of the Fall of the Roman Empire from the third century AD to the seventh. The second book, The Fall of Rome, continues the story of Rome’s decline up to the sack of Rome by Alaric the Goth in AD 410. The third book, Rome and Attila, covers the period from AD 410 to the western empire’s final demise in AD 476. Further books will look at the Roman reconquest of Italy and North Africa under the Emperor Justinian in the sixth century, followed by the rise of Islam and the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire in the seventh century.

Serbia’s Hidden Past: From the First Europeans to Modern Times: A Journey into the Lost History of Serbia and the Balkans

£19.99
Serbia, a land rich in history, holds some of the most significant yet often overlooked archaeological sites in Europe. From the enigmatic stone settlements of Lepenski Vir to the advanced urban planning of Vinča, the region has been home to some of the earliest and most advanced civilisations on the continent. However, despite their importance, many of these ancient sites have been neglected, submerged, or overshadowed by modern developments. This book seeks to uncover the true history of Serbia by exploring its archaeological past and linking it to modern DNA analysis, revealing the genetic continuity of its people and the potential secrets hidden beneath its soil.
For centuries, mainstream history has often overlooked or misrepresented the significance of Serbian archaeological sites. The deliberate flooding of Lepenski Vir, the lack of proper excavation at Vinča, and the industrial developments at Viminacium raise questions about why these places have not received the attention they deserve. Were these events simply coincidental, or do they point to a broader effort to suppress historical truths? This book will examine these patterns, exploring the possibility that Serbia’s ancient past holds discoveries that challenge conventional historical narratives. By following a chronological timeline, we will trace the development of human civilisation in Serbia from the first known European settlers to modern times. The journey begins with the earliest human presence in the region, as evidenced by Neanderthal and early Homo sapiens remains found in caves such as Pešturina and Velika Balanica. These discoveries suggest that early humans inhabited the region far earlier than traditionally acknowledged, with genetic links to both Western European and Asian populations.
