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.
