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.

After obtaining a BA Honours in Classics from The University of Leeds, a flexible schedule as a teacher has led me to spend long periods of time living abroad, including Hong Kong and Barcelona (where I currently reside). My passions for scuba diving, exploration, and adventure push me to travel extensively, seeking out the first-hand experience of ancient sites wherever I end up. I believe this broad scope of interest provides a good basis to research and write about a range of topics, however my primary focus is on matters concerning the ancient, specifically ancient mysteries and civlisations. It is my hope to make ancient history relevant and more accessible to the wider audience.
