For thousands of years, people believed in the supernatural nature of the gods, attributing to them the ability to live forever, and they themselves sought to achieve divine immortality. The Sumerian king Gilgamesh wandered in search of the flower of eternal life, the legendary conqueror Alexander the Great looked for a stream of living water, the navigators Christopher Columbus and Ponsade Leon showed miracles of courage trying to discover the Fountain of Youth in the Western Hemisphere. Little by little, immortality turned into a myth. However, the famous researcher Zecharia Sitchin, the author of numerous sensational works on alternative history, in his book undertakes to prove that in ancient times people could become like gods and live tens of times longer than their fellow tribesmen. Many archaeological finds, ancient texts and legends that have survived to our time, the images and symbols of which it became possible to decipher only at the present stage of development of science and technology, indisputably indicate: man was originally created by immortal beings for eternal life.
