20 Most Mysterious Books In History

When books are hidden away for centuries, or shrouded in some sort of secrecy, many people begin to imagine that they must hold all the secrets of the universe. Perhaps they do, but these pesky things just refuse to give up all their secrets without a fight. And some of them, well, they turn out to be a load of old cobblers anyway.

From a book buried underwater for 327 years, to the Pope’s secret underground library, here are 20 Most Mysterious Books in History.

Jesus lived 2000 years ago, not over 3000! A lot of your copy has been crap, but this is unbelievable.

🌹John D Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.

🌹But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.

🌹As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.

🌹He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller
established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria.

🌹But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his
body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.

🌹Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me, that everything belongs to him, and I am only a channel to comply his wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on the way and God was
good to me every day.”

A nice message for all of us!🙏🎉

The problem with a list like "top 20 mysterious books" is that no single book gets the time dedicated to it for it to be really entertaining. He skipped past the voynich manuscript in like 2 min and didn't bother to highlight any of the actual crazy stuff about it. For instance there is not a single mistake made throughout the entire manuscript. Anywhere. That is superhuman and by its self should peak the interest of many. But na! Don't even mention it so we can get to the next book on the list. Disappointed

Sure you got enough ads? I'd say enough to call this a click bait special 👎
