The inspiration for this book came from a series of lectures I attended and my travels through Egypt. Standing before the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza, I felt a profound connection to a past that seemed both distant and yet strangely familiar. Conversations with fellow travelers, many of whom were fascinated by these ancient stories but struggled to see their relevance today, convinced me that there was a bridge to be built.

Many of you might find yourselves in similar situations. Perhaps you're seeking deeper meaning in your career or at a crossroads in your personal life. Like a young professional I met during my travels, who felt disconnected from her cultural roots but yearned for a sense of purpose that transcended her everyday tasks. Or a retired teacher who found solace and inspiration in mythology during a particularly challenging time in his life. These stories propelled me to delve deeper and bring these ancient narratives into conversations around modern-day dilemmas.
