For thousands of years, the world's oldest civilizations preserved astonishing accounts of gods descending from the heavens, giants, forbidden knowledge, devastating cataclysms, and a humanity divided from its very beginning. The Sumerians, Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Hindus, and many other ancient cultures told remarkably similar stories, despite being separated by vast distances and centuries of history.
Were they simply inventing myths, or preserving fragmented memories of a forgotten past? In The War of the Gods, Juan De La Cruz explores an extraordinary possibility: that Genesis, Mesopotamian tablets, the Book of Enoch, and the world's oldest traditions may all preserve pieces of the same ancient puzzle. But this book goes far beyond archaeology and mythology. It proposes that the greatest mystery is not who the ancient gods were, but why humanity never stopped creating them.
As the investigation unfolds, the conflict between gods and men reveals a far deeper truth: the real battle has never been fought only in the heavens or among ancient civilizations. It continues today within every human being-in the eternal struggle between power and service, domination and freedom, pride and the Spirit. The War of the Gods invites you to reconsider humanity's origins and confront one of the most profound questions ever asked: What if the greatest mystery of history has always been ourselves?
