This work is fiction based on a blend of the factual history of mythology mixed with what is not written but known physical evidence. Much of the material is from what we call the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. There is obvious evidence of an advanced civilization with the carvings and the sculptures in stone, as well as the mythology in the stars, which are still in the sky today. Either the stars in the heavens arranged to match the stories on earth or the stories on earth were inspired by the stars in the heavens.
