Written in 738, the Necronomicon by Abduh Alhazred is said to be exceedingly dangerous. The book is rumored to cause readers to lose their souls and go insane due to the powerful content that ordinary people cannot control.
Abduh Alhazred was a poet, explorer, and master translator born in Yemen (a country in the Middle East) who lived in Damascus (now part of Syria). He is widely known as the author of the Necronomicon – the book rumored to make readers lose their souls and go mad.
The Necronomicon is one of the most mysterious books of all time. (Illustrative image).
According to records, Alhazred wrote the Necronomicon in 738. With his adventures exploring various lands from the Middle East to Europe and meeting many interesting individuals, he had an enormous wealth of material to draw upon for his writing.
In the Necronomicon, the author Alhazred documented many events and phenomena beyond human imagination. Among these are descriptions of ancient beings possessing magical powers that once ruled the world. Cthulhu is one of the most terrifying monsters of the ancient world and lies in a deep slumber.
Alhazred also recorded in the book ancient forms of magic that he had heard about during his travels. The pages he wrote are said to contain mysterious powers that ordinary people cannot control.
Those who desire to wield magic for personal gain, such as wealth and status, strive to read the Necronomicon. However, the fate that awaits those who have read the Necronomicon is nothing short of tragic. All end up losing their sanity, their souls, and even descend into madness.
The situation became even more mysterious when Alhazred vanished shortly after completing the Necronomicon. Some rumors suggest that he may also have been a “victim” of the deadly book he authored.
Since then, the Necronomicon has wandered through many hands before disappearing completely. No one knows where this book is, who possesses it, or whether it truly drives readers insane as rumored.
Some historians, researchers, and book collectors have spent considerable time, effort, and money searching for the Necronomicon, but to this day, there is still no trace of it. This has made it one of the most mysterious books in human history.
