Before The Dawn

About the Book

The book Before the Dawn, is about the settling of Balkans before recorded history, a possible scenario. Emperor Franz Joseph, of the Hapsburg Empire, said these people were impossible to rule; the answer may well be in the mixture of cultures that made up the area 10,000 years ago when anthropology statesEurope was being settled by the human race.

This is the story of these early settlers struggle for survival escaping the ravages of nature as the polar ice cap formed over Sweden and geological upheavals forced the population south. This is also the story taken from ancient writings of the east of a family escaping the annihilation of war. Either there was some truth in the Sanskrit writings, or the author wrote great science fiction.

Also I have taken elements from the blind Greek poet, Homer, and his poem on Atlantis. Archeology found the Minoan civilization on Crete due to his description, so there is likely truth in the other poem. Science states that we use only a fraction of the human brain capacity, that we have lost the use of the brains full capacity. In such case, our ancient ancestors must surely have had its function. There are, scattered over Europe, small clans that lay claim to those powers; they have no written language so no verification. This is the basis of the novel Before the Dawn
