📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

This compelling work delves into humanity's primordial past, suggesting that ancient myths conceal the true origins of our current struggles and societal imbalances. It posits that a prehistoric global catastrophe fundamentally altered human consciousness, leading to 12,000 years of conflict and self-serving behavior. By reinterpreting these foundational narratives, the author unveils a path to transcend inherited patterns. Drawing upon ancient Egyptian wisdom, the book illuminates how conscious creative power can initiate a new "Golden Age" of harmony and prosperity, challenging the exploitative economic systems born from an era of scarcity.

Praise for this book

“Ed Malkowski's previous books show evidence of Civilization X in a well-researched, enlightening, and entertaining way. In Return of the Golden Age he takes readers from the present to precataclysmic times and the Golden Age that existed with Civilization X. He then brings us back to the upcoming Golden Age. A truly wonderful read!”

📝 Description: Return of the Golden Age: Ancient History and the Key to Our Collective Future (Original)

The truth behind ancient myths and the return of the celestial conditions for a Golden Age of peace and abundance - Reveals the events preserved in myth that launched humanity into 12,000 years of struggle, selfishness, and false beliefs - Explores how we can initiate a new Golden Age through ancient Egyptian teachings on the creative power of our imaginations - Explains how our world system of economics, which benefits a few at the expense of the many, arose as a reaction to global catastrophe in prehistory Since the beginning of recorded history humanity has been in a continuous struggle over land and resources. It continues today despite the abundance we have created through scientific innovation and technology. Why such a struggle for resources exists has never been explained. Neither has the human drive to own, accumulate, and hoard. Edward Malkowski reveals that the answer lies in recognizing the reality behind humanity's earliest myths. He shows that the opportunity is at hand to transcend these inherited selfish traits and return to a Golden Age of peace and abundance. Malkowski explores the hidden meaning behind stories such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, Plato's Atlantis, and myths of a new sky and a new sun, of great floods and the death of the gods, and of the preceding Golden Age. He connects these myths to a real extinction event that occurred 12,000 years ago. He explains how the survivors--our ancestors--were catapulted from utopia into a world of scarcity, scarring the collective mind of humanity and initiating the struggle for resources in an attempt to regain our lost paradise. He shows how our world system of economics, focused on ownership and based on the false belief of separateness--benefitting a few at the expense of the many--arose as a reaction to this catastrophe. Drawing on the pre-catastrophe teachings preserved by the ancient Egyptians, Malkowski reveals that we are returning to a celestial configuration parallel to that of the past Golden Age. Through our collective DNA memory and the creative power of our imaginations, we can end our 12,000-year quest to regain paradise lost and launch a new Golden Age of unity, abundance, and equality for all humanity.

This title offers a compelling synthesis of myth and metaphysics, challenging the status quo of exploitative economics. However, it is not suited for skeptics or those strictly committed to conventional academic historiography, as its premises rely on speculative interpretations rather than empirical evidence. Readers expecting dry, fact-based archaeological reports may find the mystical assertions frustrating. Yet, for those open to esoteric perspectives on collective consciousness, the book provides a stimulating framework for reimagining our future. It succeeds in inspiring hope but demands an openness to unconventional historical theories that some may find lacking in rigorous scholarly support.

📖 Who should read this

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Prehistoric Cataclysm & Human Nature

The book reinterprets foundational myths as historical records of a devastating global event. This catastrophe, it argues, didn't just reshape the planet but profoundly influenced human psychology, leading to the competitive and acquisitive traits that have defined societies for millennia, diverging from a prior state of equilibrium.

Decoding Mythic Narratives

Malkowski asserts that epic tales like Gilgamesh and the legend of Atlantis are not mere fiction but veiled accounts of real prehistoric events. By stripping away symbolic layers, he uncovers a narrative of humanity's initial fall from grace and the subsequent struggle for resources, providing a fresh lens on our collective past.

Reclaiming Collective Prosperity

Beyond diagnosing past ills, the book offers a vision for the future. It draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian teachings, emphasizing the power of conscious imagination to steer humanity towards a new era. This involves moving beyond scarcity-driven economics and fostering cooperation to usher in an age of peace and abundance.

📜 Historical context

This work fits within a long tradition of esotericism that seeks hidden truths in ancient texts and myths, echoing thinkers from Helena Blavatsky to Graham Hancock. It also resonates with New Age philosophies emphasizing human potential and conscious co-creation, offering a historical foundation for modern spiritual thought on planetary transformation.
