The Love of the Tayamni series

I remember, way back during my teen years, the day my father brought home a copy of Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods. I was not close to my father at all, in fact I didn’t like him. However, in my older age I have begun to appreciate his openness to nontraditional ideas of religion and the reasons why humans are at Earth.

Living in northern Mississippi, we were surrounded or rather inundated by conservative, white supremacist ideas regarding humanity. So, hearing my father, in his country twang, expound on the ideas in von Däniken’s work was refreshing.

Later in life, after seeing and hearing the testimony of so many government and military officials during the National Press Club news conference in 2001, I became even more convinced of the Ancient Aliens theory, National Press Club news conference, May 9, 2001

Since so much of this theory is based on archeological evidence from ancient Egypt, I began to wonder if ancient aliens could actually have inspired concepts of Gods in those ancient human societies.

In my series, The Love of the Tayamni, I describe the most well-known ancient Egyptian gods as being aliens from another universe. In fact, much of the series’ message is from a quote attributed to Anubis, found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or more accurately, The Book of Going forth into Light:

“I spent yesterday among The First Ones.

I have cleared the vision of those who see.

I have opened the circle of darkness.

I am one with THEM.

I know those who live in the holy place.

We inherit the harpoon that is death.

He of the red cloth will transform himself into woman.

She will be stripped in the temple.

She will become holy, the high priestess of men.”
