He places the biblical accounts of the Creation Fall Flood and Tower of Babel in their historical context in ancient Mesopotamia and identifies the origins of the biblical Trinity in the Sumerian pantheon. Finally he explores the manner of Gods first revelations to mankind and the meaning of the lost secrets of the Garden of Eden. Over seventy line drawings of ancient artifacts in addition to maps and historical tables bring the civilization and religion of ancient Mesopotamia to life for a modern audience.
