My name is Daniel Gurdet. I am 34 years old, studied German and History in Graz, and work as a teacher – but my greatest passion is writing and exploring the mysteries of our world.
Since my youth I have been fascinated by ancient cultures. Despite their wars, rituals, and beliefs – which may seem strange or outdated today – there was always something that resisted forgetting: hidden knowledge, a deeper order. How could civilizations thousands of years ago move and fit stone blocks weighing up to 1,500 tons with millimeter precision –something we can barely reproduce today with modern technology? This fascination was only deepened by my secondary training in construction.
In contrast stands our present: environmental crisis, cyber wars, growing social and economic inequality, chronic diseases, exploitation of animals and nature – and perhaps most gravely: a growing loss of connection to spirituality, meaning, and togetherness. Yes, we possess technology and medical progress, but too often they serve mere convenience, distraction, or control. Something seems out of balance, almost as if stemming from another layer of reality – and many of us feel it.
Some fields of modern science are fortunately beginning to return to the holistic perspectives that many ancient cultures once intuited or experienced.
…Perhaps it is too late. Perhaps it is just in time. I have decided to contribute my part.

“TENDO” is the result of this search for truth – a story that does not preach, but invites. It aims to entertain, move, inspire, and – at best – remind.
