In this second part of the trilogy, the developments in technology are put into perspective from the time my grandfather rhymed about the tap water system as it was installed in his village. Given Gordon Moore's prediction about the exponential and thus explosive development of computer technology, we can see how other technologies profit from this to create a very positive future...
A witty anthropologist is outraged by immature theories of narrow minded, culture blinded archeologists and scientists. He travels to Nazca, Peru, to study the ancient, mysterious lines, which were carved onto the desert flats of Peru by the natives, thousands of years ago. He intends to prove, once and for all, that they were intended, merely for religious and mythological purposes. Once there, he seems to find exactly what he expected: evidence of religious rituals, etc. but he still cannot explain how the lines were created. By chance, he stumbles upon an ancient manuscript of bizarre chronicles, one that was forged by a "forgotten," ancient king of Nazca. He "un-riddles" it out of curiosity and question, and discovers the location of a secret temple that would prove to become one of the grandest treasures ever to be discovered. However, this is only the background plot, this story is mostly about the ancient King and his adventures with the temple.
A truly panoramic book consisting of five books of overt or subtle autobiographical origin, featuring culture, history, art, verse, despair, addiction, humour, redemption, faith, love and so much more besides; a truly incredible experience, chockful of fascinating facts and tales; and all with a Christian basis. But that’s not to say “Where the Halling Valley River Lies” has attained its definitive state, because by its very nature, it can be added to ad infinitum. So that it remain perpetually fluid and perpetually inchoate. And in perpetual evolution.
