Goddess From The Lost Planet

When the ancient gods threaten to return to Earth, can a brilliant academician opposing their return keep a step ahead of their wrath? New York, 2034. Professor David Schubert remains a man adrift two years after the death of his beloved wife until, one day, his interest is piqued by the sudden disappearance of a mosque from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, an event that threatens to bring the world to the brink of destruction. But David, based upon special knowledge provided by a friend who’s now dead, recognizes the mosque’s disappearance as portending the return to Earth of the ancient gods of Sumeria. When the Pentagon enlists David in opposing the gods’ invasion plans, he finds himself drawn into a global crisis where his own special knowledge and skills might prove to be the key to halting the coming alien invasion. David is sent to track down his dead friend’s missing translations of obscure Sumerian texts, as they may reveal important secrets about the impending return of a lost planet and a war between powerful gods that began thousands of years ago. As David is increasingly drawn to the beautiful intelligence officer assigned to guard and protect him, his fear grows that their breakneck search from country to country may fail to keep them a step ahead of the otherworldly forces determined to stop him. Can he puzzle out the truth of these long-departed gods before their return destroys the entire planet?

If you like ancient battles of the gods, dashing and romantic heroes and heroines, action-packed plots, and thrilling suspense, then you’ll love Neal Roberts’ historically inspired tale of ancient lore woven into our modern-day struggle for survival. David Schubert, now America’s first ambassador to the ancient Anunnaki gods, is tasked with building a lasting peace between the two sides. Although the path toward such a peace is complicated by the vast superiority of Anunnaki weapons and spacecraft, David soon learns that an even greater threat to humanity is rapidly approaching. At the landing platform in Baalbek, David is brought aboard the goddess’s pyramid shaped spacecraft (known as a “pyramidion”), where he is immediately informed that a thermonuclear missile of unknown origin has just been fired at the pyramidion from a point in Northern Canada, which David would have thought impossible as, for several weeks, an impenetrable Anunnaki ray has been neutralizing all thermonuclear triggers on Earth. Someone, however, has evidently developed technology that can overcome the Anunnakis’ defensive ray. David needs to identify the source of such mighty technology, as it could be used to wipe humankind off the face of the Earth despite any peace forged between Earth and the Anunnaki. David himself is unable to investigate, as he’s aboard an Anunnaki craft and working in a diplomatic capacity, so his bodyguard, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Catharine Weldon, is dispatched by the President to Northern Canada to pinpoint the missile’s launch point and, if possible, recover a small scientific submarine that recently went missing while investigating suspicious activity on one of the largest lakes on the North American continent. That night, the icy lake erupts into a violent confrontation between Catharine (with her hastily assembled contingent) and an unidentified saucer-shaped spacecraft under the command of the Anunnakis’ deadliest ancient enemy, who’d long been thought dead. Time is running out for David, Catharine, and humankind. Can all-out war between the gods be averted, and humanity saved from destruction?

Destroyer from the Lost Planet is the enthralling third book in the science-fiction series From Heaven To Earth They Came. If you like ancient battles of the gods, dashing and romantic heroes and heroines, action-packed plots, and thrilling suspense, then you’ll love Neal Roberts’ historically inspired tale of ancient lore woven into our modern-day struggle for survival. The power-hungry and much-despised Anzû, frustrated by the failure of his attack on a summit meeting attended by his Anunnaki foes, begins a campaign to drive a wedge between the Anunnaki and humankind. His devious plan is to persuade Ambassador David Schubert that Enki (half-brother to the Anunnaki king) has always been humanity’s enemy, and that David will need the immortality that Anzû can bestow in order to save the beloved Queen Inanna from an approaching celestial collision. In the event of hostilities between the Anunnaki and Anzû, where Earth will be their battleground, it is clear to everyone that either side would be capable of destroying its enemy’s command-and-control by means of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can be created by detonating a high capacity nuclear bomb at high altitude. As an EMP would confer a marked advantage upon the first side to use it, it is a highly destabilizing weapon. Anzû, having long seethed over ancient slights, is desperate to gain this advantage to wreak vengeance on those who he believes betrayed him. As David struggles to avert a cataclysmic war, he learns of the Anunnaki lore of a “Destroyer” who, having defeated Anzû in ancient times, is destined to return and defeat him once again. With tensions rising on Earth, David and U.S. Navy Commander Catharine Weldon are dispatched on a diplomatic journey to the pyramidion of Enlil, King of Nibiru, where the Destroyer is believed to reside. The Destroyer, long in love with the beautiful Queen Inanna, enters the fray at last. But even he cannot save the Anunnaki and humankind without David’s help, for no one but David can approach Anzû closely enough to defeat his destructive plans. With the Destroyer’s help — and with Earth in the balance — can David thwart Anzû’s plans for world domination? Will David himself prove to be the new Destroyer?

Andra wakes up from a cryogenic sleep 1,000 years later than she was supposed to, forcing her to team up with an exiled prince to navigate an unfamiliar planet in this smart, thrilling sci-fi adventure, perfect for fans of Renegades and Aurora Rising. When Andra wakes up, she's drowning. Not only that, but she's in a hot, dirty cave, it's the year 3102, and everyone keeps calling her Goddess. When Andra went into a cryonic sleep for a trip across the galaxy, she expected to wake up in a hundred years, not a thousand. Worst of all, the rest of the colonists--including her family and friends--are dead. They died centuries ago, and for some reason, their descendants think Andra's a deity. She knows she's nothing special, but she'll play along if it means she can figure out why she was left in stasis and how to get back to Earth. Zhade, the exiled bastard prince of Eerensed, has other plans. Four years ago, the sleeping Goddess's glass coffin disappeared from the palace, and Zhade devoted himself to finding it. Now he's hoping the Goddess will be the key to taking his rightful place on the throne--if he can get her to play her part, that is. Because if his people realize she doesn't actually have the power to save their dying planet, they'll kill her. With a vicious monarch on the throne and a city tearing apart at the seams, Zhade and Andra might never be able to unlock the mystery of her fate, let alone find a way to unseat the king, especially since Zhade hasn't exactly been forthcoming with Andra. And a thousand years from home, is there any way of knowing that Earth is better than the planet she's woken to?

Could the story of mankind be far older than we have previously believed? Using tools as varied as archaeo-astronomy, geology, and computer analysis of ancient myths, Graham Hancock presents a compelling case to suggest that it is. Graham Hancock is featured in Ancient Apocalypse, a Netflix original docuseries. “A fancy piece of historical sleuthing . . . intriguing and entertaining and sturdy enough to give a long pause for thought.”—Kirkus Reviews In Fingerprints of the Gods, Hancock embarks on a worldwide quest to put together all the pieces of the vast and fascinating jigsaw of mankind’s hidden past. In ancient monuments as far apart as Egypt’s Great Sphinx, the strange Andean ruins of Tihuanaco, and Mexico’s awe-inspiring Temples of the Sun and Moon, he reveals not only the clear fingerprints of an as-yet-unidentified civilization of remote antiquity, but also startling evidence of its vast sophistication, technological advancement, and evolved scientific knowledge. A record-breaking number one bestseller in Britain, Fingerprints of the Gods contains the makings of an intellectual revolution, a dramatic and irreversible change in the way that we understand our past—and so our future. And Fingerprints of God tells us something more. As we recover the truth about prehistory, and discover the real meaning of ancient myths and monuments, it becomes apparent that a warning has been handed down to us, a warning of terrible cataclysm that afflicts the Earth in great cycles at irregular intervals of time—a cataclysm that may be about to recur. “Readers will hugely enjoy their quest in these pages of inspired storytelling.”—The Times (UK)

Drawing upon historical, archaeological, and mythical examples from around the world, this book reveals how societal views of female empowerment and authority can be directly traced to the reverence once directed towards female warriors, priestesses, healers, queens, pharaohs, and goddesses. Communities which revered women as sacred idols of their belief systems were far more likely to place women in prominent positions of social or political influence, since their members were quite used to envisioning power in the hands of a strong or divine woman. The book also explores how goddesses were purposefully devalued during the rise of patriarchal civilizations, thus restricting the social importance of earthly women and their accompanying rights. One such instance can be found in Greek mythology's Gaia: once revered as a dominant earth mother, she was replaced by a division of less-powerful figures with more socially acceptable feminine roles, such as Aphrodite, the goddess of love (typically held up as an object of male lust); Hera, the goddess of marriage and childbirth (often portrayed as obsessed with jealousy over the extramarital exploits of her husband); and the mostly silent goddess of the hearth, Hestia. The devaluing of once revered goddesses appeared in quite distinct ways across different cultures; thus, this book breaks down its chapters by global region, including Europe, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, India, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania.

A comprehensive, scholarly accessible study, in which the authors draw upon poetry and mythology, art and literature, archaeology and psychology to show how the myth of the goddess has been lost from our formal Judeo-Christian images of the divine. They explain what happened to the goddess, when, and how she was excluded from western culture, and the implications of this loss.

The Goddess Venus has long been an inspiration to artists, writers and composers, while the word 'Venus' itself conjures up images of the perfect woman - an ideal of feminine beauty. This image works not only to dictate a certain aesthetic ideal, but also distorts the original goddesses of love and fertility from whom Venus and Aphrodite are descended.
