1969/70. Peter Toms comes to Cambridge to study archaeology at Radnor College. The experience of his first year is like that of so many freshers - an eventful social life running in parallel with a demanding programme of study. But developments in the wider world make their mark in Cambridge as well. The colonels' junta ruling Greece seeks to improve its image across Europe by PR campaigns, and this includes a "Greek Week" in Cambridge in February 1970. Student protests against the campaign reach boiling-point in the so-called "Garden House Riot". Among the students arrested and later put on trial is one of Toms' college friends. At the end of the academic year, Michael Rubiner, Professor of Archaeology, arranges an excavation of the Iron Age hill-fort at Wooderidge, on Salisbury Plain. Deputy director of the dig is Dr Helmut Raabe, an archaeologist based at the University of Maiblingen in Germany. Toms volunteers to take part, along with ten other students. It is Raabe who guides the team's efforts towards unearthing evidence of the hill-fort's original purpose. Raabe has a hidden interest in the much more recent history of the site, and its secret use by the military at the end of the Second World War. His ultimate allegiance is to his paymasters in the East German Ministry for State Security. Past and present collide as the dig becomes a nightmare. Wooderidge's nickname - Madman's Hill - proves all too true. None of those involved in the excavation will escape its malign influence

Each of the men are brutalised and troubled in their own way, but they also know their salvation rests in traditional family life. They may behave like criminals, but at heart they long for loving family support.

The Queen of Heaven is extraordinarily difficult to find anywhere in history, but miraculously she is still there. As in the Old Testament where the women of the ancient Jewish settlement on Elephantine island in southern Egypt defended their worship of the Queen of Heaven, when they were dramatically confronted by the exiled prophet Jeremiah, for worshipping 'false' gods in the 6th century BCE. (Jeremiah 45:15-21). Who was this ancient 'Queen of Heaven' resident at this remote outpost of the Jewish faith in Elephantine? In this case, it was the goddess 'Anat', who shared the same Jewish temple as Yahweh. Anat was considered his equal - when not superior - by the Jewish worshippers who offered incense and other offerings to both, which they had been doing for over 200 years in peaceful harmony. Compelling links between ancient Egyptian sources and the Old Testament demonstrate that much of what we read in Genesis and Exodus today has been simply 'pasted and copied' from ancient Egyptian texts and legends. Including the 'Ten Commandments' which were - almost word for word - written down in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and known as the 'Declarations of Innocence', many thousands of years before the time of Moses and the Exodus, and then later copied onto the walls of Edfu temple. It is at this very same Edfu temple - where the Jewish mercenaries were often garrisoned - we find astonishing similarities between the festival of the 'Jewish Passover' and the Egyptian 'Festival of the Beautiful Reunion' where the goddess Hathor was reunited with her consort. We also follow some of the most powerful kings of the region whose devotion to Anat - their Queen of Heaven - was so intense that in response to hostile acts directed against her temples or sanctuaries, they and their massive armies trekked thousands of miles across hostile territory to destroy or subjugate those responsible, and then reinstall their beloved Queen, Anat, on the throne of Heaven.
