The Ancient Astronaut

By Youssef Bortali

A supernatural being wakes up in a new world with no memories. In his quest to discover his origin and whereabouts, he attempts to communicate with different human civilizations across history. However, humans are incapable of deciphering the protagonist's philosophical and metaphysical dilemmas. Humans interpret his otherworldly messages in unexpected ways, which leads them to create peculiar myths and build enigmatic monuments.

Explore essential philosophy concepts like Descartes' Cogito ergo sum, the ontological argument, and Kant's theory of knowledge, as our mystical protagonist tries to communicate with a host of ancient civilizations in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Scandinavia...all the way to our modern world. And discover how these attempts lead to surprising results like building the pyramids, drawing Nazca lines, witnessing UFOs, and sending spacecrafts to find extraterrestrials.

If you're bored of the same old tropes involving heroes and antiheroes, dragons and wizards, aliens and space travel... Then give this unconventional story a try.
