The Enuma Elish is one of the most important texts from the ancient world. In this Babylonian creation epic, Marduk defeats Tiamat, fashions heaven and earth from her divided body, and creates humanity from divine blood. More than myth, this poem became a theological declaration of imperial Babylon and a key witness to the religious world behind the Old Testament.

Among the figures of early Roman history, few stand out quite like Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a man who to his contemporaries stood as the very image of the Roman Vir Bous (the Good Man). His life, whether viewed through the lens of ancient writers or treated as something of a foundational myth, has shaped Western thought surrounding civic duty and the restraint of power for more than 2,000 years.

In The Missing Key, Matthew LaCroix uncovers that code and reconstructs the blueprint it points to—a revelation that challenges conventional timelines and transforms what we think we know about human origins.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was one of the most influential figures in late republican Rome, a moment of great social, political, and cultural unrest that would lead to the transition from republic to empire. Cicero was a statesman who held the highest political office, the consulship, and then suffered politically motivated exile. His career was grounded in his continued success as an orator: his speeches were famous during his lifetime and, together with his rhetorical treatises, shaped the practice and theory of public speaking for centuries to come.

Eons ago, a black man discovered that there are dominant and recessive genes and a scientific system of "rigorous control" could separate the dominant black gene from the recessive lighter (brown) gene.
