"Let us suppose that foreign astronauts visited the territory of the Sumerians thousands of years ago. Let us assume that they laid the foundations of the civilization and culture of the Sumerians and then returned to their own planet, after giving this stimulus to development. Let us postulate that curiosity drove them back to the scene of their pioneer work every hundred terrestrial years to check the results of their experiment. By the standard of our present-day expectation of life the same astronauts could easily have survived for 500 terrestrial years. The theory of relativity shows that the astronauts would only have aged about forty years during the outward and return flight in a space-ship that had traveled just under the speed of light!" -- Erich von Däniken, Chariots of the Gods, 1968

Last time, Ikaris and his human companions Doctor Damian and Margo fled into an Incan temple to the Celestials after the Deviant Kro declared the Deviants intentions to wage war upon the space gods once more. As the Deviants fled to their underwater base, Ikaris explained that a thousand years ago, an apocalyptic war between Deviants and Celestials destroyed the continent upon which the Deviants had built their empire. The aftermath of this war gave rise to ancient stories of a catastrophic Flood.
In the temple, Ikaris brought the Eternal Ajak out of stasis. Ajak communed with the Celestial and then Arishem, leader of the Fourth Celestial Host, descended to Earth to put the planet on trial.
