The Epic of Gilgamesh
Subtitle: An Old Babylonian Version
Author: Morris Jastrow and Albert T. Clay
This epic poem is the oldest known in history, predating Homer’s Iliadby about 1500 years. Gilgamesh, the hero, discovers he has godly blood so sets out on a journey to the land of the gods in an attempt to gain entry. It is an ancient Sumerian tale from Mesopotamia. An important work for those studying ancient literature, history and mythology. This Babylonian version may be the oldest. Later renditions embellish the story, so this work is important for researchers. It is also an interesting and enjoyable tale.

Enuma Elish Vol. 1
Subtitle: The Seven Tablets of Creation; The Babylonian and Assyrian Legends Concerning the Creation of the World and of Mankind
Author: L. W. King
The Babylonian and Assyrian Legends Concerning the Creation of the World and of Mankind. The Enuma Elish is one of the oldest stories known to mankind. It is a story first written down by the ancient Sumerians thousands of years ago. As a one time assistant in the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum. L.W. King provides us with a qualified translation of the tables which were originally written in cuneiform script.
The Enuma Elish is receiving renewed interest from modern researchers delving into the origins of mankind, the earth, and the solar system. Over the centuries a copy ended up in the library at Nineveh in the 7th century B.C., and was uncovered by archaeologists in the late 1800s. Written to cuneiform text and preserved on seven clay tables, the entire story was called “The Seven Tablets of Creation.” After being translated the story revealed how the planets became aligned, how a cosmic catastrophe affected the earth, how mankind came upon the scene, and how the “gods” played a role in all of it.
The Seven Tablets of Creation have had many profound implications since they were first discovered and subsequently published. They predate many parts of the Book of Genesis as well as other worldwide creation myths. Volume One includes this epic poem’s English translation. It also includes information on parallels in Hebrew literature, the date and origin of the Babylonian creation legends, and more. Volume Two includes other accounts of creation, an Assyrian “Tower of Babel” story, and supplementary texts showing the actual cuneiform tablets.

History of Baalbek

Baalbek in Lebanon is an extremely ancient site. The Romans built magnificent temples over a massive multi-level platform considered to be one of few prediluvial sites to survive the flood. Here we find the amazing 1000-plus ton stones as part of the original temple platform. The largest cranes in the world would have difficulty lifting, let alone moving, these massive limestone blocks. These stones and many other parts of this important site are described in this handy reference guide.
