Description

Sacred Texts or Fantasy Fiction? Perhaps Both!

In 1968, during excavations in Pompeii, 76 manuscripts were uncovered -- Latin translations from the fabled Library of Alexandria. Professor Matteo Dericci, a remarkable philologist, undertook the monumental task of translating and studying these texts, however, they were far more than mere relics of history.

These manuscripts encompass a diverse array of genres. Together, they weave a multi-dimensional, multi-layered narrative, inviting readers into an immersive world that echoes our own.

These texts contain astonishing claims. What if the myths and sacred texts we know are merely derivatives of an original tale? Could it be that the gods created our world to save their own? And what of the prophet -- a giant titan sent from the heavens?

The Book of the Lost reveals the journey of these narratives, tracing their path from the heavens to Alexandria, from the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD to today, modern-day New York. This is a story of how the tales and thus the fates of the celestial and earthly realms intertwine.

As Matteo Dericci stated, "Unbeknownst to me, I had opened a portal to worlds inscribed in ink, completely unaware of the extraordinary revelations that lay ahead." The Book of the Lost invites you to question the very fabric of reality itself.

Join Philadelphus, the second king of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, on his quest to build the Library of Alexandria. Listen as Prometheus unveils the deepest secrets of humanity's existence.
