CHAPTER 14

Myths & Lies The living gods

I recall vividly the first day I discovered a story about prehistoric mythological gods and their adventures. It sounded like the world's greatest fairytale and yet it possessed some kind of mystery that made it feel more real that any other story I had ever heard. The characters were so well-defined that I could not help but imagine they were real. Flying through the skies, crossing the world in a flash, causing the thunder and rain and bringing love and fertility to people while somehow being engaged in a perpetual battle for some righteous cause. It was mainly the Greek gods, Roman gods and the Egyptian gods that I was so taken by. Although I was told on many occasions that they were not real, and they were merely imaginary deities who arose out of people's overactive minds over thousands of years, I refused to believe that. I really wanted to believe that these ancient gods were real. They were so majestic, all-knowing, all-powerful with extravagant palaces all over the world in secret places, where man could never set foot. The more I heard of these stories, the more I wanted them to be real. What my motivation was I will never know, but I suspect that it was really just the thought of touching the untouchable. The goddesses always looked so sexy and even as a young boy they had already appealed to me.

As far as I was concerned, these magnificent gods and goddesses lived in a secret place in the world which was well hidden from humans, and that they would keep it a great secret from us forever.

I wanted to immortalise these exciting characters in my own way. In hindsight I find this rather strange behaviour and it intrigues me why they made such an impression on me and why I behaved in such a manner. As the years wore down my impressionable qualities, I began to wonder what the possibilities were, that maybe somewhere in the distant past such deities may have actually existed on Earth, and that they may be more than just fantasy characters. I'm sure that I am just one of many millions of screwed-up individuals who have had such thoughts at some stage. But my history teachers were steadfast in their pronouncement that they were most definitely just imaginary characters of simple people who needed something to believe in. Those simple, primitive people, folk from the distant past must have had great imagination, I thought, saddened by the reality that modern man no longer has such a vivid imagination… such detailed imagination… such convincing imagination which can last for thousands of years. But in the education system of the western
