Part 1 starts out with philosophy and the approach of the scientist to the odd new world he suddenly found himself thrown into, and its addresses the meaning of Life and our raison d’être. Part 2 deals with the tale of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten who became the first recognised monotheist in the world when he declared that there is only One God, the sun-god...

Known to the desert people of Habiru simply as “the man born of the Nile” (Moses), my exploits...

Welcome to Easter Island falls in six parts of somewhat different nature, since it covers such a wide range of topics. Opening in Part 1 with some rather short chapters to get the reader started it proceeds into tales addressing a range of fundamental questions about our existence that man has always asked himself (and which neither science nor religion has been able to answer on their own). Part 2 explains who and what God is - and why the Created world exists. Part 3 explains what “time”...

Another way of viewing the context of the books of Elohim is by analogy to a gothic arch, where Bed of Roses? Forms the left side of the arch and Six forms t...
