I read The Forbidden Codes of the Universe a few months ago, and I’m still trying to process everything I learned. It’s not just a book – it’s like someone handed me a map of reality I had never seen before. Everything we’ve been taught about history, ancient civilizations, and so-called “random” events... starts to make a completely different kind of sense. What shook me the most was the part about technologies that don’t fit into science or spirituality – something in between, something that directly affects consciousness and reality itself. These aren’t conventional weapons. They don’t leave a mark, but they can influence free will, identity, even how we perceive the world. No bullets, no trace – but the consequences are massive. This book isn’t for everyone. If you’re not ready to look behind the curtain of everyday life, it’s better not to open it. But if you are... prepare to never see reality the same way again

I don't know about the catapults, I think Alexander building that bridge across the water was his most impressive achievement, I remember my dad first telling me about it when I was a little kid.
