“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science... this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."

From my writer's window (at present) - mountains like a floating citadel in the mist


“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.” (Albert Einstein)

A blast from the mythological past... after a mummy's radiation imaging scan...

AMAZON Kindle and paperback


"A CLASH of world SUPERPOWERS THOUSANDS OF YEARS APART"




Review (Amazon)


"Mr. Anson Hunter is an Egyptologist not so comfortable with the term. A phenomenologist who specializes in what the author calls fringe Egyptology, Hunter interprets arcane Egyptian belief in a way that still poses a threat to the stability of modern western civilization. For Hunter, Ancient Egypt was the world superpower of its day, much like the U.S. in present times. Like its present counterpart, Ancient Egypt had its own version of weapons of mass destruction in the form of smiting rituals and execration texts with the potency to destroy enemies at long distances. This supranormal "remote killing" power was capable of transcending the boundaries of space and time. Upon this premise the author constructs a "thriller" that takes us on a journey that includes Egypt's most visited "pharaonic" attractions, action packed with murder, chase scenes, cliff hangers and love among the ruins, accompanied by US Homeland Security agents, spies, Coptic monks, a young attractive female Egyptologist, government officials, hit men in gallabeyahs and a cold-blooded female assassin in full black hijab.

The author does not disguise his knowledge of mainstream Egyptology as he describes the ancient sites like a seasoned tour guide. But as an alternative Egyptologist, Anson Hunter untangles new mysteries about the ancient Egyptian civilization affirmation of survival after death by the power of symbolism and magic over matter, a virtual afterlife built by a collective unconscious, sustained by religion and tangible in the form of pyramids, temples and tombs. His elucidations are esoteric bombs that undermine the foundations of today's world major religions."
