Welcome to The Mechanics of Power & Ancient Origins
This notebook presents an interdisciplinary investigation into the persistence of institutional power, inherited civilisational narratives, ancient contact hypotheses, and the physical possibilities of interstellar travel.
Drawing on Xeque-Mate: The Fall of Rome, it examines how political, legal, and religious authority endures through structural transformation rather than disappearing with the collapse of empires.
It then explores whether ancient Mesopotamian texts, including the Atra-Hasis tradition and the Sumerian King List, might preserve traces of an underlying historical reality.
Finally, it investigates the theoretical engineering of celestial bodies as interstellar vessels, using asteroid Apophis and its close Earth encounter on 13 April 2029 as a case study in orbital mechanics, natural shielding, and potential spacecraft applications.
Throughout, these ideas are examined through The Mechanics of All (TMOA) framework, combining historical analysis, scientific reasoning, and critical testing against alternative explanations and contradictory evidence.
