"There are things that sleep beneath the earth. Things that were buried not to be remembered, but to be forgotten.
For thirteen thousand years, the stones kept their secret. For thirteen thousand years, the seal remained intact. For thirteen thousand years, humanity lived on, ignorant that its greatest enemy was not dead.
It was only waiting.
Now, at an archaeological dig in Turkey, three researchers are about to discover that humanity's darkest myths are not warnings from the past.
They are prophecies.
And some doors, once opened, can never be closed again."
An archaeological find that shouldn't exist. A name that shouldn't be written. A tomb that shouldn't be opened.
When Dr. Unai Lezama's team discovers an impossible sarcophagus in the depths of Anatolia, the Vatican sends its best archaeologist: Father Michael Carter. The dating is clear: 13,000 years old. The inscription, chilling: Hêlèl ben Šaḥar, the Hebrew name for Lucifer.
How can a biblical reference exist millennia before the Bible was written?
As Carter, Lezama, and Dr. Ingrid Weiss struggle to decipher reliefs that tell a forbidden story, the incidents at the dig site multiply. Because this is no ordinary tomb. It is a prison. And its occupant has been waiting for far too long.
A novel that fuses the archaeological thriller of Dan Brown with the cosmic horror of Lovecraft and the theological depth of The Exorcist.
"Some truths were buried for a reason. Unearthing them could be humanity's last mistake."
THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL THRILLER THAT IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE GENRE
THE FORGOTTEN TOMB is the new archaeological mystery and biblical horror novel that readers are comparing to The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Exorcist. A story that begins as a routine archaeological dig and transforms into a race against time to prevent the apocalypse.

🔍 THE PREMISE THAT WILL HOOK YOU FROM THE FIRST PAGE
In Turkey, near the ruins of Göbekli Tepe—the oldest known temple to humankind—something impossible is discovered: a perfectly carved sarcophagus, buried when humans supposedly lived in caves. The inscription on its surface mentions Lucifer... 10,000 years before any biblical text existed.
The Vatican is terrified. Governments want answers. And a small team of researchers must decide if some doors should remain closed forever.
