TALES OF THE OLD GODS.

This is the first review on this amazing upcoming book, Tales of the old gods. I'm currently writing this book and It has taken me on a journey about my ancestry , my blood line, it has taken me back to the Tales of old that has been buried by the sands of modernisation. The tales of old shall resurface with this book, the intense, glorious  history of who we are shall begin at its door step. Where are you from?
 Could you really answer that?

Where did your ancestral  line begin?

Was it behind the strong walls of the great Benin kingdom?

Or was it in the lands of the great horsemen of the Oyo empire, whose Calvary brought down great civilizations.
Or the free states of The Igbo people, who told the Tales of the  gods.
Tell me, was it the tall men who traveled through the dead deserts  of the north, took the northern Savannah lands and became Emirates, kings and Queens.
Are you from one of the great Ijaw houses of the south,  with their canoes of war.
Or maybe you're from the strong Igala dynasty whose power feared every people  of this realm.
What kind of spirits and gods did your people  worship and give their sacrifices? Was it the great god of thunder  Sango or the mighty  king of lightning  Amadioha.

How did their wars affect the future and how did mankind and gods coexist. This book might not be exact but it'll  bring back the stories of our past which we have forgotten.
A quote from the book:
"I remember times of war, not now, when peace reigns over the realm and weak men are allowed to rule. In the times of Old,  Young boys and girls were snatched from the hands of their parents. We become soldiers before we could farm, and women were drenched in the blood of war before they  saw blood drip from between their legs. We took villages and cities, taking the lives of innocent  people  who had done us no wrong. The gods helped us, with their powers and gifted children, the same ones who were suppose to uphold justice and balance. Now the gods are about to begin another war against  themselves and the future of the realm once again shall fall into darkness. And now you want me to side some of the gods and fight  for the realm to uphold balance. What balance child? "
These are the words of a mortal man who didn't  see any hope in fighting for  the realm. He no longer believed in the gods.
The book takes an indepth look in the history of old,  the emotions and depths of war and peace, the power of manipulation and believes in so many different religions and  finally  understanding maybe the gods weren't  too different  from us.
