Meet Shannon
I am a homeschool mom of 10, author of ancient fiction, and science nerd. I take history seriously, and I take the Bible seriously, but I will always and forever refuse to take humans seriously. Because why? Because humans beings are weird, that’s why.
I write about the kind things I geek out over: ancient civilizations, archaeological discoveries, unexplained catastrophes, and mysteries from man’s past.
Ancient history’s mysteries—explored from a biblical worldview informed by Creation Science.

With normal water sources failing, the Nazca built an elaborate system of underground aqueducts to tap into subterranean aquifers. Tunnels carried the water from village to village. To keep the water flowing, they built “chimneys” into the underground canals in the shape of corkscrewing funnels, which caught prevailing winds and channeled them into the tunnels, increasing air pressure and helping to move water through the aqueducts. - Ancient Cave, No Good Explanation: The Longyou GrottoesWu Anai’s life, like the lives of so many rice farmers in central China, afforded few options for entertainment.
