In his own words, "Having researched aspects of Hindu mythologies, delved into ancient Egyptian culture during a visit to the Pyramids, collaborated with budding astronomers and astrophysicists, I aimed to uncover connections and present my findings in a scientifically coherent manner. We may still be far away from the answers, but if we have started asking the right questions then we are on the right path."
