Secret History #6: The Psychology of Evil

What is mind control, and how does it work?

In his Wednesday, September 10, 2025 lecture to Beijing high school students, Professor Jiang explains how mind control techniques originated in ancient Egypt. Priests developed these techniques to control the Pharaoh, and they became embedded into Egyptian mythology.

Today, these ancient mind control techniques are still used.
