Overview
What if our legends are older than we think?Ā All the Stone Age has left behind are rocks and bones; all other materials have rotted away, leaving no trace.Ā But what if ācave menā never existed, and the Stone Age was a time of great sophistication still preserved in our oldest stories?
In a brilliant and dangerous brain hacking experiment, Harv Leonel and Tara Mukherjee are about to discover entire lifetimes of human memory coded in our genes, and reveal ancient legends ā from knights and trolls, to flood myths, to the birth of humanity itself ā that are as real as they are deadly.
Before disaster erased the coastlines and river valleys of the Antediluvian ageābefore the Floodāmen and women struggled and yearned and innovated in a world of savage contrasts into which Harv and Tara are thrust, unprepared.Ā Will their science be enough to save them?
