Description: SCP-799 appears to be an ordinary ████████ World History textbook. It was discovered █/██/██ during a hiking trip in the Appalachian Mountains by a group of hikers who were later arrested for attempting to kill a forest ranger for unknown reasons. When it came into possession of police, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Its date of publication is listed as █████ and several staff members remember having a similar textbook while attending secondary school. What makes this artifact of interest to the Foundation is what's inside it.

The second part of SCP-799 chronicles the events of the reader's life, up until the time they read SCP-799. Even if two different people are reading it at the same time, the contents vary from person to person and seems to hold true no matter how many people are reading it at one time.
The most outstanding feature of SCP-799 is its ability to alter history. If one marks out a part of text in the book and writes something else, history will alter to reflect it, leaving only the marked out portion of text and the memories of those who were writing in, and/or touching the book when the change occurred. This also occurs when you add to or mark out a portion of the "personal history" part of the book. Due to the strategic value of such a powerful artifact, It has been locked away for possible use as a last resort against XK threats as the repercussions to the time line are unknown.
