The Gold Economy of the Gods
Part 1 of the ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY, HIDDEN ECONOMIES series
Short Description (Blurb):When the gods created gold, they forged more than a metal-they forged memory itself.In The Gold Economy of the Gods, myth, history, and finance collide in a cinematic journey that reimagines the origins of value. Dr Amina Keita, an archaeologist of forgotten economies, unearths a divine ledger hidden beneath the sands of time-a discovery that exposes the sacred architecture of trust, trade, and human belief.Blending ancient mythology with modern financial insight, this book reveals how temples became banks, gods became guarantors of credit, and gold became the world's first shared illusion of worth. Through humour, mythic storytelling, and sharp economic parallels, The Gold Economy of the Gods explores the eternal question: what makes something truly valuable-faith, labour, or memory?A timeless adventure for readers of historical fiction, mythology, and economic philosophy alike. I am a storyteller at heart, weaving together adventure, mystery, and the supernatural to create unforgettable worlds. I have loved reading since I was a young girl. I would stay up late devouring books under the covers, lost in stories that transported me across time and space. There were times I nearly walked into walls or doors as I attempted to multitask by reading while I walked. Inspired by authors like Elizabeth Lennox, Judith McNaught, Rick Riordan, J.K. Rowling, Rachel Smythe, and many others, I developed an appreciation for strong characters, fast-paced narratives, and plots that keep readers on the edge of their seats.With a background in research, business strategy, and policy development, I bring a sharp analytical mind to my storytelling, blending historical accuracy with mythological intrigue. The Sekhmet Chronicles is the culmination of years of fascination with ancient Egyptian mythology, combined with a passion for crafting thrilling, character-driven narratives.When I'm not writing, I am busy developing innovative business solutions, advocating for cancer policy reforms, and writing impact-driven articles on a variety of subjects, from climate change matters to ESG, the global economy, education, women's empowerment, and many more interesting topics. I also enjoy working on projects that challenge the status quo. Whether I'm deep in research, building a new venture, or brainstorming my next novel, one thing remains constant-my belief in the power of stories to inspire, transform, and endure.I also have a passion for cooking, and while at home relaxing to some jazz, I can often be found watching cooking shows and practicing the recipes. I enjoy sharing my love of good food with my family and friends.With The Sekhmet Chronicles, I invite readers on an exhilarating journey where gods walk among mortals, secrets shape destinies, and one woman stands between order and chaos.In the future, I hope to one day see my stories translated onto the big screen to reach a wider audience.
