This followup to the groundbreaking, "Revelations & the Bible Decoded By Enoch," gives us additional insight in to the disasters and events that helped to shape our systems of theology. The Apocalypse of Abraham is analyzed to show the clear parallels between the figure of Abraham, and that of Gilgamesh. The reader will be shocked to learn that ALL Biblical Disasters and Miracles fall in an almost straight line. The Wheel in the Sky that caused fear and reverence in our ancestors influenced the names of the cities and settlements that sit along the same line. The reader will have the opportunity to examine the material, do their OWN research, and come to a new understanding of human history.

Cuneiform records made some three thousand years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death and the afterlife and the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley. With the same careful scholarship shown in his previous volume, The Babylonian Genesis, Heidel interprets the famous Gilgamesh Epic and other related Babylonian and Assyrian documents. He compares them with corresponding portions of the Old Testament in order to determine the inherent historical relationship of Hebrew and Mesopotamian ideas.

Gilgamesh focuses on the eponymous hero of the world’s oldest epic and his legendary adventures. However, it also goes further and examines the significance of the story’s Ancient Near Eastern context, and what it tells us about notions of kingship, animality, and the natures of mortality and immortality. In this volume, Louise M. Pryke provides a unique perspective to consider many foundational aspects of Mesopotamian life, such as the significance of love and family, the conceptualisation of life and death, and the role of religious observance. The final chapter assesses the powerful influence of Gilgamesh on later works of ancient literature, from the Hebrew Bible, to the Odyssey, to The Tales of the Arabian Nights, and his reception through to the modern era. Gilgamesh is an invaluable tool for anyone seeking to understand this fascinating figure, and more broadly, the relevance of Near Eastern myth in the classical world and beyond.

Most histories of the ancient world include the subject of religion. It may even play an important part in the story. But most authors also assume that these religious beliefs were human inventions. In contrast, the Bible describes a long history of True Religion before Abraham, and claims that the descendants of Adam worshipped the same God as the God of Abraham. This book examines scientific, archaeological and written evidence from ancient Mesopotamia to understand the origins of Biblical Religion, and traces the development of this religion from the Stone Age to Abraham. The result is a new understanding of the role of religion in the origins of civilization and the history of the ancient world.

Excerpt from book: APPENDIX The Babylonian Account Of The Deluge; From Tablet XI. Of The Gilgamesh Epic Sa1d Ut-napishtim to Gilgamesh: I will reveal to thee, Gilgamesh, a precious matter; 10 And the decree of the gods I will relate to thee. Shurippak, a city known to thee, Lying on the bank of the Euphrates, ? When that city had become old, the gods in its midst, The great gods, were moved in their hearts to cause a flood. 15 Therein were their father, Anu, Their counsellor, the warrior Bel, Their herald, Ninib, Their leader, Ennugi. The all-wise Ea sat with them, and 20 Their words he repeated to a hurdle: ' Hurdle, hurdle wall, wall Hurdle hear, and wall attend . Man of Shuruppak, son of Ubar-tutu, Plan a structure, build a ship; 25 Leave riches, look after lives; Goods hate, life preserve. Living things of all kinds embark in the ship. The ship that thou shalt build ? Its size shall be measured; 30 Its width and its length shall correspond; Into the deep launch (?) it.' For the original transliterated, see Schrader, KB, vi. 1, 230 ff. The lines are here numbered as in that work. I understand and speak to Ea, my lord, '. . . my lord, which thou speakest thus, I will respect, I will perform. 35 But what] shall I answer the city, the people, and the elders' ? Ea openeth his mouth and speaketh; He saith to me his servant, ' Man, thus shall thou speak to them: Bel hath cast me off, he hateth me; therefore 40 I will not dwell in your city, Nor will I lay on the soil of Bel my head; but I will go down to the deep, with Ea, my lord, will I dwell. Upon you will he pour overwhelming rain. . . . birds, . . . fishes, 45 the harvest, A time hath Shamash set, he who illumineth the darkness;...

The beginning chapters of Genesis come alive with characters, places, and events almost totally unknown outside of the Bible itself except when illuminated by the fascinating history of the ancient Near East. Did a man we call Adam actually exist? Was someone known to us as Noah warned of a cataclysmic flood and instructed to build an ark? Could the Tower of Babel incident actually have happened? When archaeological artifacts and literature began to surface from ancient Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) nearly 200 years ago, only a handful of archaeologists dared to point out that there appeared to be a close relationship between Genesis and the ruminations of the Sumerians and Akkadians who once lived there. Often enduring great personal hardships, these archaeological pioneers produced copious translations and marvelous insights. Cuneiform texts compiled from almost two centuries of exploration have added significantly to our understanding of the historical underpinnings of the Old Testament. The reader will gain a new appreciation for the historical integrity of Genesis 2-11, and marvel at the evidence that the persons, places, and events depicted, though long misunderstood, could be real.

There is a book in the Bible where God's name is nowhere to be found: Esther. Some say it was because God withheld his presence for a time, others say he was secretly working behind the scenes to accomplish his purposes. There was another time that God was hidden: In the period after the Great Flood before Abraham. Gilgamesh Immortal is a story of that time period. Gilgamesh Immortal tells a tale of the greatest king of ancient Mesopotamia shortly after the Flood, the mighty ruler Gilgamesh, king of Uruk. He is a giant, born of god and man who oppresses his people for his own power and glory. But when a Wild Man named Enkidu comes to town he is the only one mighty enough to stand up to Gilgamesh and put him in his place. Enkidu's simple but strong character impresses Gilgamesh and the two become best of friends. But Gilgamesh longs for immortality, so they embark on a quest for eternal life that takes them from a giant's forest, to the mountain of the gods, to the Path of the Sun in the Underworld, and ultimately to a distant magical island to find the one man granted divine favor during the flood: Noah.Gilgamesh Immortal is an adaptation of the oldest written hero story in history. And yet it is timeless in its universal themes of friendship, courage, purpose, the pursuit of immortality and the meaning of life.Chronicles of the Nephilim is written in the mythic genre of The Lord of the Rings and Narnia, blending fantasy and mythopoeia with history to retell the Biblical narrative with a fresh perspective, while staying true to the original spirit of the story.

Read an invaluable collection of ancient Mesopotamian texts in The Chaldean Account of Genesis: Containing the Description of the Creation by George Smith. Smith pioneered the study of Assyriology, which investigates the history and culture of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq). Assyriology encompasses Biblically significant locations such as Assyria, Babylonia and Sumer. During his studies in Assyria, Smith discovered the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known work of literature, which is an account of the Great Flood. The Chaldean Account of Genesis: Containing the Description of the Creation collects translations of all of the major tablets that Smith discovered, including the story of Gilgamesh. He translates the story of the Creation as it appeared in ancient texts, as well as the Tower of Babel and the Destruction of Sodom. In addition to the texts that are parallel to stories from the Christian Bible, Smith gathered tablets which tell the history, culture and religion of ancient Mesopotamian cultures. Smith discovered a tablet with the story of Ishtar, goddess of sexuality and warfare, who descended to the Underworld. He also tells the story of the Babylonian god Zu, which was then an obscure religious story to the Babylonian and Assyrians. The text also includes illustrations of significant events. Some of the texts are incomplete due to the nature of the ancient tablets, many of which are merely fragments. Still, because of the meticulous work of Smith and his contemporaries, readers can learn about history that had previously been lost. The Chaldean Account of Genesis: Containing the Description of the Creation is a must-read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
