Waking the Dead: Puzzles from Ancient History Decoded

A time traveller I shall be, would you care to come with me? For I invite you on a journey into the distant past. I am the seventh mortal to have arrived at the entrance to Hades, where I paused before Cerberus, who sniffed me out, to see whether I was dead or alive. He allowed me through to a place of perpetual music and merriment -- the entrance to the afterlife, the Hades of Herodotus and Odysseus. This, as my other travels and research into history will show, transform myths into facts. Scholars will be hard put to refute my claims, which I back up with geographical, biblical and archaeological evidence. My research into the legends of the ancients has taken me to museums, to Egypt, to Africa, to Crete and to Santorini, and above all into books. The fruit of all this is a new and challenging insight into where Odysseus really was during those ten lost years. It was the revered Roman historian, Tacitus, who commented that the Jews had originated in Crete, during the clash of Jupiter and Saturn, the very clash of the Titans. This is a completely new theory unknown as yet to any historian, yet the more the author looked into this, the more he came to believe that Tacitus was right. However, for the theory to be viable, it had to be shown that farmer Noah, if leaving Crete, had to be at sea. To his amazement, he found it remarkably simple to do this, for all the evidence for it, as his book will show, exists in Genesis. Noah's world was indeed covered in water -- about this he was telling the truth, or the truth as he saw it. Once I understood this, I then had to find historical evidence to support a 'group' called Adam, Cain, and later Moses. This in turn led me to discover three other mysterious peoples of history, and, finally, identify the God of Noah, who must also be the God of Abraham, Moses, and therefore the spiritual father of Jesus.
