* DeityOfHumanOrigin: In the Anterran creation myth, the first being was actually a human woman, Teotia, who then created the god Ikopaa, whose thousand eyes ensured that the world would not reset itself whenever Teotia slept. The Professor notes that Anterra is the only known culture that claims the gods were created by humans rather than the other way around.

''Modes Of Thought In Anterran Literature'' is an audio drama {{Podcast}} by Wolf At The Door Productions, creators of ''Podcast/BatmanUnburied''.
The podcast mostly takes the form of recordings of lectures of a Classics university course of the same name, given by an unnamed professor (voiced by Alexander Kemp). A Chinese submarine in the Pacific managed to unearth a series of underwater ruins of an advanced civilization dubbed "Anterra" dating back to 70,000 years ago: making it the oldest known civilization by several dozen millennia. After the painstaking translation of writings found in the ruins, the Professor and his team have managed to reconstruct several aspects of their mythology, culture, and history, all of which are related in the lectures.
...or at the very least according to the Professor himself. Thanks to an alleged coverup by the Chinese government, pretty much nothing has been shared with the scientific community at large, apart from a few people in the Professor's inner circle, to the point that he's widely perceived to be a crank or worse. So is Anterra an actual discovery that changes everything we know about mankind...or a hoax?
