Mark the WriterScepter of the Gods: Deep Dive
A World Built on Forgotten Truths
Keep in mind the name of this page: "Deep Dive." You may find some of this too detailed, too meticulous. That's okay. Skip through as you wish. If, however, you are really getting into the world created around Mark Mills' Scepter of the Gods series, dive in. The water's fine.
As you read this page, you will realize that none of the themes in the Scepter of the Gods series are flippant, half-baked, poorly conceived, or weak. They are richly supported by a deep foundation that you are about to explore. Ready?
The Scepter of the Gods series quickly expands from a simple quest into a journey through humanity's long arc. It is an imaginary glimpse into our saga of eons of forgotten civilizations, suppressed histories, obliterated histories, and ancient high technology coming back to us through spiritual awakening and cosmic destiny. This deep dive explores the themes woven through the five books and reveals the hidden architecture beneath the story.
If you've ever sensed that humanity's past is deeper than we've been told, or that our future depends on learning from our lost prehistory, this is your doorway.
Note: Book three is published, and the last two are in progress. You will find here hints of things not yet revealed in currently published work. This page is dynamic and will include answers to readers' questions as well as more details about works published in the future, including insights into The Wings of Aeolius.

Final Thoughts As You Come Back to the Surface
This is my personal message to anyone reading the works of Mark Mills, including those from the Scepter of the Gods series or The Wings of Aeolius. Let these thoughts run around in the back or maybe the forefront of your mind.
What can you perceive from the hodgepodge of shreds around our planet that gives you a hint of who we once were?
What if the unidentified lights and objects people report are one of two things: 1) craft flown by our ancestors and/or their descendants to monitor our development, or 2) lights manifesting because a highly advanced being's consciousness is surveying or something? What if there are no little green men but really, they're all … family?
If you ponder that kind of thing, I hope my writing, especially from works like The Wings of Aeolius, gives you more to expand your mind and wrestle with this. Lots and lots of us need to do that. We won't change the world with revolutions and guns. We will change it by changing who we are by micro bits.
Please. However you perceive answers to these questions, let them guide you into becoming as much as you can of what humanity can potentially be. How's that for a deep thought? Big challenge? Yeah. 100%, I'm already working on this. I mean, that's how I came up with all of this.
