TARTARIA - Volume 1

Who really built the old world?

Look at the old courthouse downtown, the one with the dome, the columns, and the marble floors worn smooth by a century of footsteps. The official story says a frontier town of a few thousand people raised it with horse carts and hand tools. A growing community looking at the same photographs keeps asking a different question: why do so many of these buildings look like they belong to an empire nobody was taught existed?

TARTARIA: The Complete Encyclopedia of the Old World, Volume 1 is the beginning of the definitive reference on that question. 150+ standalone chapters in this volume alone, the first of three volumes in the largest archive ever assembled on the theory.

Inside Volume 1:

• The empire on the 18th century maps, and why it vanished from the later ones
• Old atlases that once labeled a vast territory across the top of the world
• The mud flood and the buried first floors of cities everywhere
• The missing eleven days and the calendar that does not add up
• Star forts on every coast
• Colossal doorways and cathedrals wired like power stations
• The free energy the Old World supposedly ran on, from the Baghdad Battery through Tesla's missing papers to the Wardenclyffe demolition
• The megalithic construction claims at Baalbek and Coral Castle
• The world's fairs and their vanished plaster palaces
• And the catastrophes said to have erased it all

Chuck Miller spent 37 years behind the cameras, consoles, and edit bays of American television. That career built two habits that never switch off: an eye for how images are made, and a reverence for the archive. This is what happens when a working archivist of the moving image turns his attention to the strangest reading of American history ever assembled online.

The archive continues in Volume 2 with the orphan trains, the asylums, the giants, the underground cities, and the voices on every side of the argument today, then concludes in Volume 3, digging deeper into every corner of the theory. Together, the three volumes hold all of it. Start here.
