  Before time was recorded by mankind there were the ancient gods of Mesopotamia. Before civilization emerged, before Empires grew, they came and created a hybrid slave race we now call humanity. 
   
  This is the story of the Anunnaki, the ancient gods. All religions, myths and mysteries emerged in these ancient times. Flying angels and chariots. Sky ships and miracles. Great constructions in an age supposedly named after stone. The facts do not fit the standard history. Instead, they fit a massive tale of a superior species that came to Earth, created a slave race to mine and serve, and then left behind mystery. 
   
  This is the story of those alien gods.

  The Influence of Greek and Roman...

  The interaction between Greek, Roman, and Egyptian civilizations represents one of the most dynamic periods of cultural blending in ancient history. As neighboring powers came into contact through trade, diplomacy, and conquest, their customs, ideas, and beliefs began to intertwine, giving rise to a unique fusion that would leave a lasting imprint on Egyptian society. This chapter explores how these cultural exchanges began and how they shaped Egypt during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. 
  The initial encounter between Egypt and the Greeks occurred long before Alexander the Great’s arrival, through trade across the Mediterranean. However, it was Alexander’s conquest of Egypt in 332 BCE that marked a significant turning point. His establishment of the city of Alexandria set the stage for a new era, where Greek customs and governance took root alongside ancient Egyptian traditions. The subsequent Ptolemaic dynasty, descended from one of Alexander’s generals, became a bridge between Greek and Egyptian worlds, adopting pharaonic symbols while introducing Hellenistic art, language, and administrative systems. 
  Cultural transmission was not solely the result of conquest—it also flourished through everyday interactions. Greek settlers in Egypt brought with them their language, religion, and lifestyle, but they also adapted to local customs, often integrating Egyptian deities and rituals into their own belief systems. Temples began to reflect a blend of architectural styles, and literature began to emerge in both Greek and Demotic scripts, reflecting a hybrid intellectual life.

  Mindfulness is exceptionally easy to get started with, and people often experience benefits almost immediately. Why, then, do many initial enthusiasts end up dropping the practice after a short while? 
  According to Oxford professor and leading mindfulness expert Willem Kuyken, it's because traditional mindfulness training is too far removed from how we actually live. This next-generation resource brings mindfulness home by teaching core skills in easy-to-integrate ways that touch directly on life's daily challenges. In his calm, encouraging voice, Dr. Kuyken provides stepping stones to help you build a personal practice that is sustainable, purposeful, and richly rewarding--now and for years to come. Interweaving ancient wisdom and modern scientific psychology, the book includes stories engagingly read by multiple narrators, quotations, reflection questions, tips for overcoming hurdles, and compelling guided practices.
