[Learn more about RevenueStripe...]( A WONDERFUL WEEKEND We had a great weekend with the fourth Ancient Origins Conference: [Human Origins – The Narratives of Our Creation](. Last month we brought together 11 researchers, scholars, bestselling authors, and speakers for a two-day online conference. They led us on a journey around the world to investigate the creation beliefs of ancient cultures and addressed the controversies surrounding these accounts. All the speakers were fantastic, and we were delighted with how involved and wonderful the attendees were too! We were treated to 10 exciting presentations and received many thought-provoking questions from the audience. The panel debates were lively and revealed unexpected and fun comparisons and contrasts between creation narratives, as well as the deeper meaning behind these ancient stories. Thank you for your continued support for our conferences, we’re very proud of the events due to our excellent speakers, our wonderful attendees, and our gracious hosts.

THE DIGITAL MAGAZINE EVERYONE LOVES [A picture containing websiteDescription automatically generated]Everyone can name at least a few ancient kingdoms that they learned about in school, read about in a popular book, or watched someone discuss on a tv special or in a film. These are often stories about ancient Rome, Egypt, or Greece. But there are many other fascinating kingdoms that don’t receive the attention they deserve. The lost kingdoms that we showcase in this issue are either kingdoms that don’t exist anymore, imaginary realms people once believed to be real, or forgotten empires that are often overlooked in the pages of history. For many of these kingdoms, all that is left today are their names, legends, and sometimes archaeological sites. But those details may be enough to inspire an explorer who’s keen on adventure and solving mysteries. Their journeys may have been full of perils, but I wonder if the Portuguese explorers who ventured into unknown lands on a quest for Prester John and his fabled kingdom returned home satisfied that they had the courage to travel somewhere new. Of course they weren’t the only ones to set out in search of lost kingdoms. Access the Ancient Origins digital magazine on your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.
