What if the myths we call legends were once maps?
In Gods from the Far East, Henriette Mertz takes you on a voyage across forgotten paths, ancient texts, and mysterious traditions. From the remote temples of Asia to inscriptions barely deciphered, she searches for proof that civilizations once connected across seas and mountains in ways history has not fully accounted for. Could pilgrims, traders, or explorers from the Far East have journeyed far beyond their shores long before the age of discovery?
Balancing on the fringe of scholarship and speculation, Mertz challenges accepted timelines and invites us to see myth as more than metaphor. Beautifully written and richly illustrated, this book is for readers drawn to lost histories, hidden connections, and the possibility that our past holds more surprises than we yet imagine.
