Synopsis

Forgotten Titans: Giants, Creation Myths, and Lost Civilizations of Africa, Australia, and Oceania While the West obsesses over Nephilim, Titans, and Norse frost-giants, the colossal beings of the Global South have been largely forgotten. Yet from the one-legged creator Matsieng emerging from a Botswana waterhole, to the elemental giants slain by Makoma in Zimbabwe, the vast white vomiter Mbombo of the Kuba, the red-haired chieftain Auriaria of Kiribati, the Dreamtime ancestors who sang Australia's landscape into being, and the sorcerer-giants said to have levitated the basalt columns of Nan Madol, these traditions form one of humanity's oldest and richest mythological complexes. F. K. Sterling takes indigenous oral histories seriously as potential records of deep time. He explores living sacred sites, megalithic monuments whose scale still baffles archaeologists, dangerous cannibal giants, and the possibility that some stories preserve genuine memories of Pleistocene megafauna. Drawing on peer-reviewed archaeology, anthropology, and oral tradition research, *Forgotten Titans* reveals a shared pattern: enormous primordial beings who shaped the land, then withdrew-leaving footprints in stone, songlines across continents, and monuments that continue to defy easy explanation. Why have these southern giants been marginalized? And what do they tell us about human memory, landscape, and the real depth of indigenous knowledge? Rich with on-the-ground insight and rigorous scholarship, this is essential reading for anyone fascinated by lost civilizations, ancient mysteries, and the hidden history encoded in the world's oldest living traditions.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

F.K. Sterling is an author, independent researcher, and folklorist specializing in Ozark mysteries, ancient anomalies, unexplained phenomena, and alternative history. He doesn't just chronicle the strange-he lives it, hunts it, and weaves it into compelling narratives that challenge conventional understanding.

Background & Roots

Sterling grew up in the wilds of Ocala, Florida, where childhood pursuits like hunting, fishing, and "reading the land" ignited a deep fascination with ancient mysteries and the natural world's hidden stories. He later made his home in the Ozarks of Arkansas (Harrison area), a region rich in folklore, limestone caves, misty hollows, and longstanding legends of giants, wild men, star people, and otherworldly encounters. The Ozarks serve as both his laboratory and muse-a landscape where history, myth, and the unexplained intertwine daily.

- Ancient Ozarks: Giants in the Caves, Star People in the Stone, and the Underground Worlds That Rewrote American Prehistory (2026) - Examines deep regional history, Paleo-Indian evidence, bluff dwellers, giant skeleton reports, and cave mysteries.

Sterling's writing style is grounded yet evocative, respecting both scientific inquiry and the living myths of the people who inhabit these enigmatic places. He is known for asking the questions mainstream narratives overlook and delivering stories that feel unsettlingly close to home-especially for those familiar with the mist-covered hills and deep hollows of the Ozarks.
