Queen Mallaegania and the Valley of the Demon: Plus Night of the Thylacine Maurice Athol Hardy

, myths and folklore referred to is as ?The Valley Of The Demon?. Ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian texts described the existence of a large fertile valley totally surrounded by cliffs and mountains. Being virtually inaccessible, it was dismissed by the great powers as irrelevant. Legend tells of an orderly civilisation evolving in the sanctuary of this fortress-like valley, under the rule of a powerful and mysterious Queen named Mallagaenia. However in 34BC, a massive earthquake erupted burying the entire valley under millions of tonnes of rocks and debris. Convinced of it?s authenticity, renowned archaeologist Dr Frank Tyrell mounted an extensive search and after fifteen year of secretive and meticulous excavation, uncovered the lost city. Armed with irrefutable evidence, Tyrell prepared to announce one of the greatest finds of all time to the world. However during the highly orchestrated event, history was repeated. Another earthquake chose that precise moment to strike. In the ensuing chaos and mayhem, only a hand full of people was able to scramble into the subterranean tunnels to survive the disaster. Now trapped in these ancient passageways and chambers, the survivors soon discovered they had entered a strange, dark world. A timeless place filled with riches and life-like statues. A place where the rules of nature and logical understanding no longer existed. It was a dangerous and terrifying world... Mallagaenia?s world.
