Synopsis:

In book one, an anthropological team from the University of Southern California dig up an Algonquin grave and discover a gold scarab. The find is indicative of the relation between the early Algonquin and the Egyptians and points to the early migration that took place. Further investigations reveal the native American names of locations in the US today as being derived from the Sankrit language of vedic India.

The findings provide crucial understanding on archetype behavior and co-relates many symbols and beliefs of the Persians and East Indians with that of the native Americans. It brings into focus the commonality of cultures around the world and gives a glimpse into the development of the American personality.

In book two, the report on the Algonquin findings draws the interest of UNESCO and they hire Dr. Charles Mohan, the head of the research team to undertake a study of cultural archetypes around the world. Part of the study examines the legends of the Hindus and provides an informative account of the beginning of legends, their development into religious symbols and their relation to the forces of evolution in social behavior.

As the study moves to look at American archetypes, it brings the reader into contact with the basic forces that has shaped the world's cultural character and American personality.

In book three, an ex-American Navy SEAL, who was the subject of the study into American archetypes is drawn to aspects of the study that relate to social conditioning and training. The American, Mike Flanders, then begins a two year journey to discover himself that brings him to India, the Ukraine and Ireland and demonstrates the applicability of the study into world archetypes.

In book four, in a continuation of the experience some years later, the story brings the reader's attention to life in a small town in South Carolina and that of its founding family. It examines the living experience of the grand daughter, Sara Quint, who teaches at the university and falls in love with an ex-marine returning from Iraq, who is now a homicide detective. The story examines how they come to trust one another.

Against the backdrop of the world, the findings of the archetype studies provide a peripheral understanding to the personality of the society in South Carolina. It points to the rationality and present day social behaviors of Americans as it relates to common behaviors in the rest of the world.

The book is written with the intent to help communities around the world understand the American experience. As the American public media gets popular in the experiences of the world's societies, there needs to be a rationality and acceptance of the exposure as being relevant to societies around the world. It examines social views regarding women, gays, science vs religion and modern experiences regarding god.
