WARNING: All of the science and history mentioned in this story are real unless otherwise stated in the Author's Note. All of the archaeology is real, as well, except that which is part of the underground city, Winter's Edge, and the other fictitious city mentioned. All theories expressed in the story, whether scientific, spiritual, religious, or theological, exist today in various forms. If any of these expressed theories are correct, we cannot know, but the evidence supporting the theories is real evidence unless otherwise stated in the Author's Note.

Most importantly, the views in this book are not meant to promote any particular agenda. This is a fictional story primarily for entertainment purposes and maybe to reflect back to us a little of ourselves in the characters. Also, it's a lot of fun to share thoroughly fascinating, yet little known information and ideas with others. If you choose to research any of the views in the book, please find good, solid sources for the views and their opposing views and come to your own conclusions with as much objectivity as possible. That is a lost art in some fields of science today, which is causing a lot of misinformation and absurdly incorrect theories to prevail. Our research money would be much better spent on truthful, proven evidence supporting solid theories rather than the impossible, thoroughly-disproved theories that somehow prevail even to this day.

Discussion about the characters can be found in the Author's Note at the end of the book.
