Creating History

In the aftermath of the ancient nuclear catastrophe, the modern-day archaeologist reflects on the possible role they have played in entangling the past and present. The physicist introduces the concept that their inquiry, observation, and curiosity may have caused the entanglement of these ancient civilizations and their timelines, making the archaeologist wonder if their quest for answers helped set off the atomic chain of events in the ancient world.

The Cost of Ambition

Lucifer, the fallen angel, reveals his role as the prime deceiver. He planted the seed of curiosity in Adam and watched as mankind’s hunger for knowledge and power led them to the brink of annihilation. Lucifer now manipulates events to ensure the destruction that will follow Mesopotamia and Egypt’s first strike, savoring the chaos and hoping to compel God’s attention once more.

This chapter details Egypt and Mesopotamia’s secret preparations, their construction of subterranean catapults and other primitive methods of delivering atomic weapons, and their drive to dominate. Further, it describes how Israel, the Greek Speaking World and Ancient India are compelled to enter the nuclear fray because of alliance treaties and other reasons.

First Strike
Despite the summit, Mesopotamia and Egypt contemplate a preemptive nuclear strike against other ancient powers. But in their mutual mistrust, plot against each other. The scholars, now fully entangled in these ancient events, begin to fear the full-scale destruction to come. The peace which exists after the Nuclear Summit amongst Israel, India, Ancient Greece, Egypt and Mesopotamia is superficial, fragile and tension-filled.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Shiva, the destroyer of worlds, issues a cosmic warning to all the civilizations entangled in the atomic arms race. His demonstration of destructive power serves as a dire omen for what could come if mankind continues down this path. The Summit of the entangled, ancient civilizations results in a call for restraint, but will the human leaders heed their warning?

Weapons of (Brah)-Mass Destruction

In ancient India, scholars contemplate the Brahmastra, a divine weapon described in their Vedic texts. Unlike other civilizations, India is guided by the warnings of its gods, particularly Shiva, and chooses not to pursue this power, understanding the risks. The scholars observe India’s restraint, but the stage is set for a larger global confrontation.

The Ancient Cradle of Atomic Fertility

Mesopotamian priests discover vestages of atomic energy within their ziggurats, a power that the gods once wielded. Mesopotamia’s leaders join forces with Egypt, beginning the first arms race of the ancient world. The scholars, through their mysterious connection with the past, witness these civilizations moving closer to the brink of destruction, realizing that these events have transcended time.

Sound Mind and Nuclear Revelations
In ancient Greece, philosophers like Socrates and Plato grapple with the intellectual and moral questions surrounding the atom—the building block of all matter. They face off against generals who seek to use this knowledge for conquest. Greece finds itself caught between the pursuit of pure knowledge and the temptation to harness atomic power for war, reflecting the internal conflict between philosophical inquiry and military ambition.

Chosen But Wise

King David of Israel, driven by conquest, seeks to use the Ark of the Covenant not only as a religious symbol but as a weapon of mass destruction. Solomon, who learns through his interactions with demons and the decimated ancient cities Sodom and Gomorrah about the true nature of the Ark, urges caution, fearing the divine power it holds. However, David’s warrior instinct makes him contemplate using it in warfare, raising the stakes in the region.

The Radiance of the Nile

In ancient Egypt, Pharaoh uncovers long-hidden Atlantean schematics deep within the pyramids. These designs hold the key to unimaginable power. Despite the warnings of his priests, Pharaoh becomes obsessed with using this knowledge to secure Egypt’s dominance. Egypt’s pursuit of the atomic force entwines it with other great civilizations of the ancient world.

Birthplace of Life, Genesis of Destruction

Adam encounters a burning bush that isn’t consumed by the fire, igniting his curiosity about the unknown. His fascination with this mysterious primal energy sets the stage for mankind’s pursuit of power beyond the natural world. This early encounter with fire, which hints at the atomic power that will later entangle civilizations, begins a series of events that will stretch across time and space.
