    About this ebook

    The Ancient Greeks and Romans were well known for their fantastic legends of the Titans, Human Heroes, and Gods of Olympus, but where did these myths originate?
    Did you know that the origin of the Greek and Roman myths as well as religious practices began in Ethiopia and Ancient Egypt (Kemet)? The Greeks took Egyptian Deities such as Tehuti and called him Thoth, and eventual re-named Hermes. The Great Cushite –Ethio-Egyptian God Amen –Amon was changed to Zeus, Heru was changed to Horus, Anbu to Anubis, Auset to Isis, Ausar to Osiris and the list goings on.
