Antediluvian

DEEP

DIVE

Before disaster erased the

coastlines and river valleys of the Antediluvian age—before the mythic

Flood—men and women struggled and innovated in a world of savage

contrasts. It turns out that our legends of the Stone Age are even older than we

think. It was a time when a world of archetypes and myths was written upon the

fabric of humanity in the deepest way—a world that has only been preserved

in the oldest stories with no way to actually visit

it.

Until

now.

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—from knights and trolls to the birth of humanity itself—that

are very real. And very

deadly.
