We feel like parents in a fairy tale turned to stone by a curse and condemned to stand like statues with our hearts thudding in our chests as our son plays wild games, all alone in the palace.

He loves school, climbing trees and Disney songs. But he's also profoundly autistic.

The legend of the foundation of Rome by Romulus in 753BC accords very well with the earliest defensive walls on the Palatine Hill, made of clay and timber and showing evidence of animal sacrifices. To trace the continual efforts to fortify Rome is to trace the rise and fall of the Roman Empire - through the taking of the city by the Gauls in 390/387, the wars with the Italian states, the threat of Hannibal, the establishment of the Republic, attacks by the northern tribes and eventual division and collapse.

According to Vedic philosophy, there are four eras in every world cycle. They represent a gradual decline from enlightenment (Satya Yuga) to chaos and ignorance (Kali Yuga) before it starts again. Each of these eras lasts roughly 2160 years. You're probably familiar with the four ages of Hindu philosophy: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. The golden age is when pure knowledge is widespread, and people live in harmony. The dark age is when everything goes wrong—the World falls into chaos, and humanity descends into ignorance. But what happens next?

Igigi unrest leading to the Zu Incident was just a harbinger of other troubles to come—troubles inherent in long-term interplanetary missions—female companionship was one of the significant problems. There was also trouble among the Earth-based Anunnaki, especially those assigned to mining duties. While the gods, like men, bore the toil and work, there was great toil, and the result was heavy; there was much distress. Despite the absence of men on Earth, the gods toiled as though they were men. Enki and Ninmah achieved that feat, but it was not a story with a happy ending.

As Tom, her young son, starts acting strangely—seeing and hearing things that aren't supposed to be there—Kat’s sense of reality begins to warp. Luke, now free from Sandra, urges her to move on, but doubts linger, especially after their former boss’s house is mysteriously sold on the day of Adam’s funeral. And when a woman, eerily reminiscent of Imogen moves in, Kat is drawn to her—but something feels off.

The Anunnaki in the Epic of Gilgamesh compared to the Nephilim Flood Narrative? Scholars have long debated whether the Anunnaki in the Epic of Gilgamesh is the same beings as the Nephilim of Genesis 6. There is a direct connection between these two groups of entities which sheds light on this critical question. One of the biggest problems with interpreting certain parts of ancient texts, such as the Book of Genesis, and other writings, can be traced back to an almost fanatical obsession.

The earliest history of Babylon is little known. Among the many cities flourishing in southern Iraq, the town first appears in texts in the third millennium BC. Until the last century of the third millennium, few references existed to Babylon; however, offerings made to the temple of Enlil in Nippur during this period (when Babylon was part of an empire ruled by Ur) suggest a city already of some size and wealth. From relative obscurity in the middle of the 18th century BC, Babylon emerged as the political center of southern Mesopotamia.

Leonard Woolley, an archaeologist from Britain, returned to Iraq in 1922, almost 4,000 years after the ancient nuclear catastrophe, to uncover ancient Mesopotamia. An imposing ziggurat standing out in the desert plain drew him to the nearby site of Tell el-Muqayyar, where he began excavating. As old walls, artifacts, and inscriptions were unearthed, he realized he was digging up ancient Ur of the Chaldees. Woolley's discovery of a cemetery dated thousands of years ago, including unique "royal" tombs discovered by digging at its edges, is the find of the century.
