Well we're back again,
They never kicked us out,
twenty thousand years of
SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT
Down through the epochs and out across the continents, generation upon generation of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu have told variants of the same story - an end of days story, a final chapter story. But one with hope, even if the hope at times seems forlorn.
The story contained in this trilogy is the latest telling. Here it is presented as a utopian costume drama, set in the near future, written in the recent past.
Read with care.

The first official companion book to HISTORY(R) network's hit
series Ancient Aliens(R): a powerful journey through human history
that explores fascinating unanswered questions about the origins of
our civilizations. With a foreword by Series Creator, Kevin Burns.
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in
the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? And if
so, what if there were clues left behind? Each week, hundreds of
thousands of viewers tune in to the wildly popular Ancient
Aliens(R) television series to seek insight into those very
questions-and to become part of a thrilling, probing exploration of
the mysteries at the heart of world civilizations. The first
official companion book to the hit show, Ancient Aliens(R) takes
readers even deeper into the mysteries that have made the show a
pop culture phenomenon. Filled with exciting insights and
behind-the scenes stories from the show's creators and leading
experts in ancient alien theory, the book explores the key
questions at the heart of the series: * Who were they?* Why did
they come?* What did they leave behind?* Where did they go?* Will
they return? Transporting readers around the globe, Ancient
Aliens(R) explores the fascinating enigmas and mysterious artifacts
our ancestors left behind, from incredible objects to amazingly
accurate ancient maps; from the Great Pyramid of Giza and stone
megaliths at Gobekli Tepe to the Nazca Plains and mysterious
structures of Puma Punku. Accompanied by lavish 4-color photography
throughout, the book allows armchair archaeologists to examine the
evidence up close for the first time. Both the ultimate-fan book
and the perfect gift for readers new to the show, Ancient Aliens(R)
is a compelling journey through the mysteries of our ancient
civilizations and the possibility of alien influence on our
cultures.
On 2 August 1908, Alexander Ormiston Curle, a 41-year-old solicitor
and antiquarian, set off by bicycle from the Borders fishing
village of St Abbs on a mission to inspect 'all the ancient
monuments of Scotland'. Three months later, he announced that his
first survey, of the County of Berwickshire, was complete. 'I have
inspected over 200 objects' he wrote 'and written up notes on them.
My bicycle has carried me almost 300 miles; five times only have I
hired a trap and twice a motor car. The number of miles I have
tramped by moorland and meadow I have no reckoning of but they are
many. It has never been anything but the most intense pleasure to
me'. Curle was the first Secretary of the Royal Commission on the
Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland: tasked by letters
patent of Edward VII with making an 'inventory' of sites and
constructions 'connected with or illustrative of the culture of the
people of Scotland from earliest times'. At the Commission's very
first meeting it was decided that the only way to create this
inventory was for staff to go out into the field to see the
nation's ancient structures with their own eyes. It is a task that
is still ongoing today. An Inventory for the Nation is the
remarkable story of the pursuit of this vision. It follows the
Royal Commission over the course of a century, tracing the impact
of everything from the motor car, powered flight, and two World
Wars, to digital technology, the new millennium and the internet.
And it explores how a task which was first pursued by one man on a
bicycle has become, 107 years later, the permanent and enduring
work of a national institution.
