psychological, social, and material – exist only because the boundaries have been erased. We are now in a phase of emerging from this chaos – we are inside the chaos itself. And this realization strongly resonated with me when I heard it in the documentary – that Tutankhamun, too, restored polytheism and led Ancient Egypt out of chaos.
Further, what’s also curious is that in “Wrath of the Titans”, it’s also about chaos. It’s about how there was order, how the ancient Greek gods once ruled, but then they lost their power. And in the film, it shows how they lost their power – it’s obvious, it’s a cycle. People stopped believing in the gods, and because of that, the gods lost their strength, the boundaries were erased. As a result, the God of the sky and the God of the earth ended up in the underworld, and the underworld began to destroy everything. That is, the boundaries were disrupted, everyone started crossing the line of what was permitted and what was not, and the time of the gods fell. And this happened in Ancient Egypt, and it has happened in other eras as well. And then, the opposite happens – the revival, when the gods return. And if we talk about faith, and if we focus on this film, on my conversation with the Mystic-Old-Man, and on the documentaries about Ancient Egypt that I’ve been watching lately, then I would say this: it’s as if the book itself is the lost knowledge. One could even say it’s a revival, but at the same time, it’s also the beginning of something new. And this book, “Alternative History”, is precisely what will set all of this in motion – it’s what will activate everything. As if, once this information spreads across the world, people will once again believe in the gods, and so the gods will appear. And I actually discussed this with the Mystic-Old-Man back in the first volume when he said that something irreversible would happen once my book reached 20 million readers, when it reached its peak. This is exactly that kind of process – everything, in reality, depends on what’s in a person’s mind: their system of values, their concept of good and evil, and how they perceive things. If a person is convinced that miracles don’t exist and that they are automatically a failure and unlucky, then they start thinking that way, believing it, and living accordingly. This was shown very well in the trilogy “Unbreakable”, then “Split”, and the third part, “Glass”. And in “Glass”, it was particularly well portrayed with the woman from a secret organization who was trying to hide from the world the fact that people with abilities exist. And just before his death, the character “Glass”
