The Patriarch and the Lord

In the final book of The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True, the battle between the enlightened and the gods for the mind of humanity continues. Will our flawed heroes be successful?

Horus's two prized students were taught to rid civilization of the misogynous teachings of the powerful Church of Urfa. But intelligent, ambitious, sometimes-virgin Baalat doesn't want to save people who don't want saving. She intends to become a Living God who travels the Path of Horus. Sweet Abram means well but grows into an influential patriarch unable to discard the embedded Church teachings of his childhood.

Abram's son, Prince Ishmael, has little interest in saving anything but his family.

The relentless Kyrios-Olon continues to destroy any threat to their church's power while the enigmatic First Mother silently guards the sacred writings of civilization.

Poor Horus only wanted to teach people the enlightened 'Path of Kiya' as he searched for his parents in the Land of the Dead.

He never intended to lose his soul.
