The secret behind nine unknown men of Emperor Ashoka
The "Nine Unknown Men" is a legendary secret society that is said to have been founded by the Indian Emperor Ashoka around 273 BC after the Kalinga War. According to the legend, Ashoka was deeply affected by the violence and bloodshed of the war and decided to create a society to preserve and protect knowledge that could be dangerous in the wrong hands.
The society, as per the legend, consisted of nine highly learned men who were each entrusted with a specific book of knowledge. These books allegedly contained knowledge on various subjects, including science, technology, psychology, and even methods of warfare. The purpose of the society was to safeguard and use this knowledge for the greater good while preventing it from falling into the wrong hands.

The Nine Unknown Men were supposed to guard their respective books and pass on the knowledge to worthy successors. Each book was said to contain knowledge that could significantly impact society, and the Nine Unknown Men were responsible for ensuring that this knowledge was used responsibly and ethically.
It's important to note that the story of the Nine Unknown Men is a legend, and there is no concrete historical evidence to support the existence of such a secret society. The legend has been popularized in fiction, particularly in conspiracy theories and adventure novels. Many authors have incorporated the concept of the Nine Unknown Men into their works, further blurring the lines between fact and fiction.
While the story is intriguing and captures the imagination, it is essential to approach it as a piece of folklore rather than a historical fact until credible evidence emerges to support its authenticity.
