History Book http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1280896/history-book Posts in the discussion thread "History Book" - I am not sure if this was done yet, I would be surprised if it was. Basically, it's a history book that can re-writre history.

Occam's razor, y'know.

It was a large scroll that chronicled the entire history of the world. No one had actually reached the end of the scroll (although it looked like it was going to run out soon)

And, of course, no mistakes were seen throughout it, from ancient times to events a century ago—except at two spots. A year back in Roman times was heavily modified, describing some Mediterranean supervolcano with lots of poorly connected references to how this never happened, and lots of scribbles saying that nothing happened that year, all in Latin. The other was apparently done by SCP-507, where he crossed out a reference to Robert E. Lee killing Abraham Lincoln, and made the assassin John Wilkes Booth instead.

It didn't go over well and I killed it before I ever posted it. However, I suspect part of the problem was that I buried the lede too well and what was supposed to be an anomalous editable version of the world looked like an anomalous chronicle of world history. I took the perils of an editable history and made them more obvious when I wrote my actual first submission, the tale It's Just A Dream.

If history alters itself to accommodate the book, how would anyone know that the book has any effect? They'd remember history as it occurred, including the manipulation that the book is responsible for, right?

Also, this sounds a lot like the Book of Ages from that one episode of the animated series Jackie Chan Adventures.

http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1280896#post-2338494 History Book http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1280896/history-book#post-2338494 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:56:48 +0000 Nutellakinesis 1926221 This history book has a few strange qualities. First is its table of contents. It has eras, listed as chapters, and years listed as sectioms such as " chapter 94 33 B.C.E" (obviously I haven't decided how the years will be decided, this is just an example.) When one decides to go the chapter, the next few pages will be blank, then the page listed in the contents will appear (with the listed page number). Its true ability is shown when one writes in the book with a writing utensile. If the book said the war of 1812 was fought in 1812 the user could take or add things away. It could be be written like this: The war of 1812 was fought in 1812 1814. Then, history would alter based on what was changed. And if a page is ripped out, that year becomes non-existent, and years alter accordingly. Everything from that page never existed. If the edited text can be erased, such as if it was written with a pencil, history will revert to normal.
