Lost for over seventy years, a startling collection of proverbs emerges from the sands of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast: the Codex Exotica – a priceless treasure, long believed to have consumed in the fires of the Third Reich’s book burnings.
From the moment the collection was initially published in 1933, controversy has raged about who wrote it, as well as where and when the work began. The only thing scholars can agree on is that the sole remaining copy of the Codex Exotica is the greatest find of Nazi documents ever made. The collection has unrivaled importance in world history and humanist thought. It tells a different story of mankind – one that could challenge our deepest beliefs.
A team of experts explore whether the Codex Exotica is an authentic account, or a modern forgery.
