This book is about the strange conspiracy theory of a considerable portion of Asia and Russia (named Tataria) that disappeared through mud floods. Essentially, this is revisionist history by pseudo-intellectuals who created a new account with Russia at its center. One sentence from this ebook sums things up, "The system came to be called Fomenko parallelism and seemed a tidy way of sweeping all world history into a Russia-dominated system, even the development of America." (Chapter 1)

To Fomenko, Genghis Khan was a Russian and the first significant leader of the great empire. Russian occultist Nikolai Levashov added to Fomenko's work. He postulated that Tartary was peopled with Slavs -- with extraterrestrial origins. His writings were so popular among the Russian population that until he died in 2012, there was a significant movement to make him president of the Russian republic (Putin must have loved that).

The Tartarian Conspiracy asks, "What if there was a huge conspiracy that purposely erased the history of Tartaria with the Mud Floods?" Then, they postulate that there was an entire reset of human history, and a significant civilization was wiped out and covered up with a substitute history. Amazing.

The rest of the book was even more fantastical, with conspiracy theories about Tataria. However, what I've written gives the flavor of the wild suppositions and conjectures. This is the ebook to read if you want to go wild with conspiracy theories.
