Unique selling proposition
of the Proshloe project

We present in a popular format fundamental historical studies that seek to understand how the human world works.

We tell no historical anecdotes, neither pursue flashy archaeological discoveries, nor cater to political ideologies, nations, or social classes.

This knowledge can be applied to global planning in both business and politics.

We film without fictional dramatizations, presenting content that is more scientifically accurate and truthful than the BBC and National Geographic yet produced with higher quality than amateur efforts on YouTube.

The global goal is to create an international research institute that will stimulate and sponsor fundamental research projects designed to understand the principles behind the development of humanity.
