Though not a novel, this book weaves into one continuous story information from many sources -- including linguistics, archaeology, astronomy and other sciences; the Bible and other history; and ancient traditions and religions. It is neatly arranged within the timeline as given in the Bible. This excursion through an almost forgotten world provides startling insights on many old questions. Have history textbooks told us the truth? How did mankind learn language? Where did the skills of civilization begin? Why do ancient writings refer to a year of 360 days? What actual events lie behind the mythologies of the world? Who kept alive the memory of the distant past? - Back cover. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

2020: This book is on my kids' homeschool reading recommendations list but they've never read it. I'm really glad I read it first because, while I do think it's a valuable story, I don't think it's wise to have children read it without a lot of discussion throughout. A lot of reviewers have gotten fired up about this book but she prefaces that it's speculation---imagination---she never claimed it was historical in every way! I really loved the beginning when she imagined life in the Garden of Eden and man's relationship with God and nature. As the book progressed, I liked it less, but I think that's because she spent a lot of time "making the case" for Enoch. I just don't know what I think about the Book of Enoch but I do know that no one alive today knows the true story. I also liked her imagination of the tie between Shem and Terah, the father of Abraham. I've always wondered how Abraham ended up following God---maybe this is how! (
