Description

Ancient Aliens, the Greek gods and Ancient Man meet in an epic confrontation that spells the end of a world, six thousand years ago.

"The strangers came, and they were not like us. Something else, but wearing the skins of men, the eyes of men, their hands..."
Ishur Ninku, writing in Sumer, Mesopotamia, C4000 BCE

On a planet at the far side of the sun, Anthea, cast out of an isolated colony of refugees from the old world, shelters from a firestorm of meteorites falling into the sea. A fearsome creature struggles out of the surf, but she goes to help and gazes into the face of an angel. This is Phoebus, the vanguard of an angry race who were abandoned by her own elders millennia ago. The gods are returning to cleanse her world prior to colonisation.

Their arrival also triggers a countdown on an alien artefact, given to Anthea as a child, and a chain of events that can only lead to deadly conflict. The amulet holds the key to salvation, or her own death, but will her elders and the Gods listen to reason before their civilisation is obliterated?

This story is based on the theory that humans evolved somewhere else in the universe, and colonised our own planet in pre-history. The intervention of these 'Gods' is detailed in all ancient cultures. In this instance we explore the foundation of the Greek myths and the ancient Greek alphabet, but also explain the strange structures and battles that have left marks on our land even to this day.
