These stories are organized into a chronology that starts with "in the beginning" and ends with the advent of civilization in an effort to discover the true story of human origins. The book brings together myths from many cultures including the Sumerians, the Greeks, the Mayans and the Aborigines of Australia. Current scientific discoveries are then placed side-by-side with these early worldviews. Among the topics covered are:

• Creation myths
• Gods and goddesses
• Heaven
• The gods and their toys (space ships or chariots?)
• The quest for immortality

Could it be that those ancient stories of the gods were more than the product of someone's fanciful imagination? Is it possible that the writers, chronicles, and scribes of our distant past actually record an accurate view of our origin? Could it be that we are really children of the stars?

"... a must-read for all students of myth and global creation stories." --Barbara Hand Clow, author of Alchemy of Nine Dimensions
