The Book of Amun Ra: The Book of Ancestors - Paperback

The Book of Amun Ra: The Book of Ancestors presents a radical departure from the mainstream narrative of primitive early humanity.

Have you ever felt like the Eurocentric narrative of history you were fed was biased?

Have you ever questioned the mainstream narrative of hunter-gatherer theory and equally rolled your eyes about ancient aliens?

All of our most recent discoveries of architecture predating the Sumerian culture push the timeline back much further, and it is time to consider that perhaps there is truth to our old legends.

By combing through the library of global mythological records about the world before the Bronze Age, and collaborating with more than a dozen Egyptian, Persian, Hindu, Polynesian, First Nations, Greek, and Chinese scholars, anthropologist Zhu Yong Rui and his team have attempted to find answers to the mysteries of our origins by reconstructing the full political history of humankind, from the Out of Africa migrations onward and arguably, even before. Drawing on ancient records beyond Western Eurocentric interpretation offers an alternative perspective on history: our own.

In this 365-page guide, filled with maps, photos, excerpts from ancient texts, and cutting-edge DNA research, verifying the Hindu Yuga timeline and confirming the existence of our ancient ancestral gods using the latest global DNA migration data, major geological findings, and archaeological evidence, The Book of Ancestors presents a new-yet profoundly ancient-exploration of our human origins, debating what we think we know about our ancestors and reimagining our past in what the author calls the Avatar/Atua Theory of Human Development.

The author, 朱永睿 Zhu Yong Rui (Raymond Chu), is a World Press Photo Award-winning documentary filmmaker with 15 years of experience in the field. Raymond graduated from New York University Tisch School of the Arts in 2011 with a BFA in Theatre, specializing in World Traditional Theatre.
