Editorial standards

Editorial and corrections policy

The Codex Secreto blog is written by Flavio Salles. It is educational and editorial content, not professional advice, and it is meant to help readers examine claims about history, religion, solar science and unexplained phenomena.

How we choose sources

We prefer primary documents: surviving texts, government reports, statutes, archived records and published datasets. We link to them in a sources section at the end of each article. When a claim rests on a secondary source, we say so and avoid presenting it as established.

Evidence and interpretation

Articles separate what a record shows from what people infer from it. Where specialists disagree, or where the public record is incomplete, the article says that plainly instead of choosing a side for effect.

Dates and updates

Each article shows its publication date and, when substantially revised, an updated date. Pages on fast-changing topics, such as the current solar cycle, are reviewed on a regular schedule.

Corrections

If you find an error, write to us through the contact page and include the page address and the source you checked. Confirmed errors are corrected in the article, and material changes are noted with an updated date.

Independence

The blog links to the Codex Secreto books, which are sold on Amazon. Those links are marked as book pages, and they do not change how evidence is described in the articles.
