<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2694416, member: 76194&quot;]I&#039;m taking a detour from reading the biography of Agrippa to re-read this old favorite.</p><p><br /></p><p>How many of you here know anything about Sumeria, Babylonia, Ur, Uruk, Lagash, and all the other early city states that gave birth to civilization as we know it?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think its terrible how little interest the average Westerner has for the cradle of civilization, which not only gave us writing and the blueprint for advanced urban living, but also the place where many of the old biblical stories were born.</p><p><br /></p><p>Read this book and find out how the great Lord Enki gave birth to humanity at Eridu (where the legend of the garden of Eden begins), before sending a flood to wipe out humanity and sparing only one family in a boat full of animals. Read this book and find out how the talking snake in Inana Ishtar&#039;s garden took over her tree of life, and how the snake tricked a mortal hero who came to slay the snake, condemning the human to the underworld (the roots of the Genesis tree and snake story).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to not only understand civilization itself, but also the begining of the biblical tales 2,500 years before the Hebrews modified them and added revised versions of them to their religious cannons, take your time to read about these great civilizations of the fertile crescent..</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]605075[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
