Hallo throne,

"...
One of the largest projects of this type was the "discoveries" of ophthalmologist Ernst Muldashev of his City of the Gods (this is what the three-volume book he published is called) which he fabricated from beginning to end. The subtitle of the book is as follows: 'Sensational Discoveries of a Tibetan Scientific Expedition'. I cite this subtitle especially since it contains a complete selection of the key words of scientific charlatanism. It is especially troubling that the 'hyping' of this opus has been taken up by such periodicals as 'Argumenty i Fakty', which was once considered a serious publication.
So, AiF published 70,000 copies (this is an enormous press run for these times) of a book about a virtual expedition. But in the 540-page publication there is not one expedition photograph!!! How can one be in such places and not bring back a single photograph! Only drawings and sketches. Rather, there is one photograph, Muldashev himself in an expedition cloth cap. Obviously, as proof of his field surveys. If the works of [Madame] Yelena Blavatskaya are interesting and useful for their ethnographic excursions, then Muldashev's book is a collection of 6,666 stupidities.
Muldashev was never in those regions which he writes about. I personally called him from the office of Sergey Shumakov, who was at that time the chief producer of ORT entertainment programs, and proposed organizing an expedition at my company's expense plus an honorarium of $500,000 if Ernst Rifgatovich would point out the mysterious cave with the aliens. This was when Muldashev was actively searching for sponsors for his expedition. The author of the future bestseller declined.

Autor:
Sergey Melnikoff, a man whose whole life has been spent dealing with the organization of expeditions to the most inaccessible corners of the planet, the author and producer of the serials "Chas priklyucheniy [An Hour of Adventures]", "Okhotniki za sokrovishchami [Treasure Hunters]", and "Dlya dikikh zhivotnikh mesta v mire net [There are no Places in the World for Wild Animals]"

Es ist offensichtlich, daß Ernst Muldashev sich von den Erzählungen des britischen Schriftstellers Cyril Henry Hoskin "inspirieren" ließ, der unter dem Pseudonym Lobsang Rampa ähnlichen Mist veröffentlicht hat, bevor seine Identität durch Heinrich Harrer, der einen Privatdetektiv mit Ermittlungen beauftragte, enttarnt wurde.

Außerdem scheint Muldashev Material aus Baird T. Spalding's Buchreihe "Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East" verarbeitet zu haben.
Auch Baird T. Spalding erbrachte niemals einen Nachweis, daß seine Expeditionen stattgefunden hätten.
