The Gods of Egypt

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Ancient and mysterious. Powerful and deadly. All-knowing and generous. The Gods of Egypt were many things. 
 
They originated many thousands of years ago in a land far away from Egypt. Over time they evolved, changed, adapted and grew in mystery. 
 
Their stories are filled with great battles and vengeance. Of cycles of nature and the balance of the very universe. Their tales a real game of thrones. 
 
From the gods of the underworld such as Osiris and Anubis, to the gods of light such as Amun-Ra and Horus, the lives and actions of the Gods of Ancient Egypt explain our very existence and our place in the universe. The mysteries of all that is and ever shall be were explored in their lives. 
 
Isis immaculately conceived the son of God. Horus and Set did battle again and again as light and dark. Maat was the fundamental order of the universe itself. Ra was the rising sun. Osiris was God of the underworld. Thoth created writing, science and more. All of this as a mirror to the observable world and even more to explain that which cannot be observed. 
 
Their influence has travelled across continents and across time. Our own so-called religions are full of them under different names. 
 
This is the fascinating story of the Real Gods of Egypt.

Project Azorian: The History of...

Editors Charles River

Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and few rival the disappearance of the Soviet submarine K-129 in 1968. The Cold War was in high gear, and under the waters of the world’s oceans, Soviet and American submarines were in intense competition, pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Some of these submarines carried nuclear missiles that carried more destructive power than all the bombs dropped by the U.S. Army Air Force throughout World War II, including the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other submarines, the hunter-killers, were designed to find and destroy these missile-carrying submarines. All of these submarines engaged in their activities while aiming to avoid detection by the other side, establishing a clandestine conflict that was carried out far from the gaze of the public but still strategically vital. If either side could gain a notable advantage, it could abruptly change the fragile balance of power.
Both sides lost submarines in the 1960s, but when the Soviets lost K-129 in 1968, it triggered one of the most interesting episodes of the Cold War, and something that reads like the plot of a techno-thriller. A race developed between the Americans and Soviets to locate the wreck, and when the Americans found it, they realized the submarine sunk in one of the deepest parts of the ocean, far beyond the depths at which conventional divers or submarines could operate. As a result, the CIA, aided by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, clandestinely began a lengthy and incredibly expensive project to build equipment that might allow them to recover and examine parts of the sunken submarine.
That operation, Project Azarian, is still controversial over 50 years later.
