Ancient Mesopotamia: A Postdiluvian Timeline Volume-IV (Ancient Near Eastern Studies)

A Chronological timeline from the great Flood to Abraham and the war of genesis 14. Takes you from early post-flood nomadic "Noahic" surveys, camp sites or fiefs, to the Tower of Babel, the Erech-Aratta War, the colonoizations to the ends of the earth, to the rise of Sargon-Nimrod, and ultimately to the War of Abraham in Genesis 14. A detailed chronology chart can be seen in Volume-I appendix by Ross S Marshall. The author carefully and brilliantly exegetes such archaeological sources as the Gundestrup Caldron and Mesopotamian Seals. While paying attention to Scripture, Pilkey demonstrates that the myths and king lists of ancient societies support the Biblical pattern of monophylogenetic human origins. Pilkey attempts to bring identity between such widely separated fields as human mythology, Biblical truth and the plight of modern man. Specialists in history or mythology would do well to read the book consecutively. Creationists and others desiring to understand Noah's family and its contribution to present-day national governments will find this volume indispensable. All students of ancient literature and mythology should consider their work deficient if they do not study this truly landmark endeavor.
