The 'lords' came from Troy or Atlantis - the city of man that was destroyed by a catastrophic asteroid impact in ca 10,000 BC. All that is detailed in Homer's Iliad and Vergil's Aeneid and many other sources. Cassandra warned of celestial disaster - at which Aeneas rescued the sacred fire of the hearth and with a few kin sailed away before impact. The exact site of the original Troy was recorded in the map formed by the original Stonehenge. One princely 'son' figure sailed away from Troy carrying the sacred light - while later another princely 'son' arrived in Mesopotamia bearing the light of resurrection.

RMT: 6) An army of scholars has spent hundreds of years studying and translating the very same texts you did, why do you think no one saw what you saw in these ancient texts?

WG: Several reasons. No one much studies old literature any more - it's not useful or fashionable. The few people who do are either orthodox University scholars or even more orthodox religious scholars. It's not in their nature or interests to be unconventional. It took over 40 years for orthodox scholars to translate the Dead Sea Scrolls - and even then the obvious record of interbreeding was disingenuously characterised as 'coded astrology'.

On the technology front the early explorers simply didn't know. The natives said the pyramids housed invisible evil spirits - which European explorers thought must be ghosts, we didn't even know about radiation until Rontgen discovered X-rays and Curie identified radium in the late 1800s.

There was also some innocent or possibly deliberate mistranslation. In the KJV Bible the Hebrew plural Elohim [lords] has been deliberately re-interpreted as singular God. Literal 'giants' are mistranslated as 'mighty men'. And the two great lights of brilliant crystals were transposed into the sun and the moon and the stars. Mainly we didn't see it because we didn't want to see it.

RMT: 7) Is there anything you left out of your short novel that you felt would have been just too much and would have hurt its credibility? Can you tell us what?

WG: Yes a lot of detail - the book is only about half of it. I have left out an enormous volume of supporting material from Babylonian literature, Gnostic literature from the Nag Hammadi library, a lot of Celtic mythology and Norse mythology - both of which are very parallel to Greek mythology. To a degree that missing material is very supportive - it adds volume and weight - but it would be too repetitive and too dense. I have tried hard to be simple and brief.

If anyone wants more myth and folklore there's a good commentary on Norse myth in de Santillana's Hamlet's Mill; and a compilation of European folklore in Frazer's Golden Bough. But they are both very dense.

RMT: 8) What else have you uncovered through all your research, is there another book brewing inside of you that you intend to write? If so, what will it be about?

WG: Possibly - there is a mountain of allegorical material in Greek, Celtic, and Norse mythology which can now be made sense of.

I have also figured out exactly how the Great Pyramid worked - mechanically. There is enough information to actually re-activate or replicate the Great Pyramid. In true scientific method it would be possible to actually test the hypothesis. Incidentally, the mechanism could potentially be used to generate energy - or unfortunately to make weapons.

RMT: 9) Your novel could be considered in the style of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, although your research appears more credible, and there is less action. Was it your intention, were you hoping the book would have a similar impact?

WG: I at first tried to write as straight non-fiction but it was too bland, boring, and dense. I did not consciously seek to emulate Dan Brown - far from it. But I did try to construct a structure and a thread to carry a story and simply to make it more readable.

I have deliberately detailed the bibliography and footnoted almost all references so everything can be verified. In a sense this is not my story - I have not made it up - I have merely discovered and re-presented it. As my main character Liam Kelly said, 'I have lapsed into logic and lucidity leading me to believe factual evidence of rational explanations of history. However, if anything was not well said, that is to be attributed to my ignorance'.
