Gold Leaf

The Egyptians used ocean-faring vessels during the height of their empire, and modern Peruvian fishermen still use similar reed boats. One's design is to transport a balanced soul into the afterlife, and the other is to sustain the body in life, a means of transport for a trip through time into a world of unimaginable outcomes.

It's the most exquisite vessel I have ever seen, and I stood there admiring its craftsmanship before I continued my assault. As the sun rises and illuminates the boat's hint of golden design, depicting Osiris's ascent from Hades, my wrath has reached its zenith.

Sunset On Mt. Olympus

The Gods of Olympus adhered to a series of routines in order to fool the humans into believing there was a giant glowing orb that circled the Earth. These ruses included a great deal of fabric and a bit of fire, as well as a sizable herd of flying horses.

The humans named the phenomenon Apollo, and believed him a son of Zeus. It pleased the Gods immensely that they had fooled the humans into believing in a false God. It truly seemed their power was limitless.

When Hermes questioned why such tricks were necessary, Zeus banished him to Hades.
