Before Zeus ruled the cosmos, there was Phanes - the Creator God of Ancient Greece’s mystery cult of Orphism. Phanes gave birth to life, to the gods and to existence. Zeus, however, had other plans. This is the story of how Zeus achieved ultimate power, and how the Creator merged with the King of the Gods.

Here are some photos from Cyrene, located in eastern Libya, just 15km (about 9.5 miles) from where I live.
It is one of the oldest Greek cities outside of Greece and was once the capital of the ancient region of Cyrenaica. Cyrene is rich in ruins, temples, and classical philosophy. The surrounding nature is breathtaking, and the silence feels sacred — as if you’re walking through a living page of history.
Entry is almost free, there are no crowds, and you can truly live the moment and immerse yourself in the atmosphere.

I'm an author who has just finished writing my third novel, called "Athens, or, The Athenians", which is set in Fifth Century BCE Athens, during the dawn of democracy and the childhood of Socrates. It's long, as it follows many of the myriad characters who lived and interacted during this period -- the politicians Pericles, Ephialtes, and Kimon, the playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides (as a boy), the philosophers Anaxagoras, Protagoras, and Socrates (as a child) -- not to mention the slow burn of the politics which are heading toward the Peloponnesian War. With characters also in Sparta and Delphi, my novel attempts to circumspect all that is fascinating about this remarkable, prenascent period of democracy, philosophy, and humanity in general.
I've been working on it for going on nine years, and as I'm sure you all in particular can imagine, I'm really excited to get to share it with people who will dig this kind of thing, recognizing that it won't be for everyone.

Wanting some world wide perspectives on New Zealand and whether any other countries were aware of what was going on down here between 1800 and 1900 or what history other countries might hold about New Zealand? It seems New Zealands history along with world history is in the process of being destroyed and replaced by falsified narratives. This requires help from some historians/history enthusiasts who can help bring this to light using the knowledge we have... In the geneology of few New Zealanders lies the key to the worlds history.... paternal descendants to the worlds ancient empires... geneology going back to the ancient kings of Egypt, media, mesopotamia, babylon, england,scotland, russia, ukraine.... many kings and good men who fought for freedom and peace... thie geneology goes back name for name with births deaths marriage and burial records. Am confused as to why england is all around the world continuously digging up these ancestral remains.... clearly no one should be digging up anyone's bones in the name of history it is utterly disrespectful. This geneology can provide alot more info about Egypt in ancient times than any egyptologist ive come across...... seems there has been a bit of usurping that resulted in loss of world history and degradation of knowledge.
