NARRATIVE
According to an ancient legend, long before the rise of the Sumerians, a highly advanced extraterrestrial civilization visited Earth with the purpose of studying the origins and mysteries of life.
They were a unique blend of robots and humanoid beings, their towering stature exceeding 15 meters and their advanced technology rendering them seemingly divine to the eyes of ancient humans. Awestruck by these celestial visitors, humanity began to construct a magnificent temple in their honor.
But as the time drew near for these visitors to return from the cosmos each year, their interstellar ship would blaze through the atmosphere in a fiery spectacle, illuminating the night sky.
Following the dramatic impact on Earth’s surface, the people of this ancient civilization hurried to the crash site, retrieving fragments of the mysterious vessel and its enigmatic occupants. With reverence and hope, they used these remnants to complete the grand temple—an enduring tribute and a heartfelt plea for the return of their celestial gods.
Yet, as centuries passed, the visitors never came back. The once-thriving civilization faded into obscurity, its story lost and buried deep within the shadows of history.
They named them Antares — a name that would echo through time, shrouded in mystery and legend.
