San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 2, 2006 -- Author Siamak Akhavan has for the past five years dedicated the majority of his time to combing through many of the world’s ancient and enigmatic monuments, museums, books, and manuscripts. Akhavan took these findings and compiled them into his first full-length novel The Universal Sign.

Told from the perspective of a few unexpected characters, The Universal Sign takes readers on a very informative and amusing quest into the Earth’s ancient history. Throughout this amusing fact-filled journey, readers will learn about the cataclysm that ended the last ice age, the Biblical Flood, the survivors’ struggles and myths, and the events that have since shaped the world. “Every page was transporting me somewhere else in the ancient world, and exposing me to things I never knew”, says one reader.

The discoveries presented in this novel may cause some to question historical, mythological and religious beliefs that they have been taught in the past. With the recent release of the novel The Da Vinci Code, the controversial issue of lost or hidden history has been discussed quite often in the media and has stirred up the Christian society. Like The Da Vinci Code, The Universal Sign leaves it up to the readers to decipher between what is fact and what is fiction. One reader wrote, “I consider his substantive work not just as a new academic resource, but also a very amusing story that everyone can enjoy.”
