As Greek mythology goes, the universe was once a big soup of nothingness. Then, two things happened: either Chaos or Gaia created the universe as we know it, or Ouranos and Tethys gave birth to the first beings.

CARROLL
Donald B. Carroll spent his career working in Fire &Rescue, as a firefighter/paramedic, company officer, district chief, and an academy instructor. During those thirty-plus years, he raised a family and pursued the meaning of life through extended study into scientific, spiritual, and philosophical materials. His career was one of daily, real life; in the trenches gritty decision making that was the crucible for teaching his soul that we are all more than that, more than our physicality. He has been a regular speaker and writer of metaphysical topics, ancient culture symbolism, and a tour leader to many of the ancient sites he has written about. Much of his research includes spiritual symbolism its meaning and how it is shared across cultures and incorporated in sacred sites for the same perennial purpose.
He is the author of Sacred Geometry and Spiritual Symbolism: The Blueprint for Creation and The Spirit of Light Cubit: The Measure of Humanity and Spirit

Our Mission
At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.
The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe.
We’re the only Pop Archaeology site combining scientific research with out-of-the-box perspectives.
By bringing together top experts and authors, this archaeology website explores lost civilizations, examines sacred writings, tours ancient places, investigates ancient discoveries and questions mysterious happenings. Our open community is dedicated to digging into the origins of our species on planet earth, and question wherever the discoveries might take us. We seek to retell the story of our beginnings.
