Produktbeschreibung
Anunnaki and Babylonian Myths offers a clear and informative introduction to the beliefs, religious systems, and cultural developments of ancient Mesopotamia. The book traces how early societies in Sumer and Babylon built their entire worldview around the Anunnaki, the divine assembly believed to maintain cosmic order and guide human destiny. Through the study of temples, ritual traditions, kingship, and the earliest written records, this volume shows how mythology shaped every level of life in the first urban civilizations. As Babylon rose to prominence, its theology evolved, eventually placing Marduk at the center of the divine hierarchy. This work follows that transformation, explaining how sacred architecture such as ziggurats symbolized the connection between heaven and earth, how scribes became custodians of divine law, and how cuneiform writing preserved the earliest expressions of human thought. The book highlights the relationship between myth and governance, demonstrating how religious authority supported political power while also giving structure and meaning to society. Drawing on archaeological discoveries and translated cuneiform texts, Anunnaki and Babylonian Myths provides a grounded and accessible overview of the stories, rituals, and theological ideas that influenced later cultures throughout the Near East. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in early civilization and the origins of religious and mythological traditions that continue to echo through history.
Autorenporträt
Riddick Dawson is a historian-author whose work moves at the crossroads of archaeology, mythology, and the hidden traditions of the ancient world. With the spirit of an adventurer and the rigor of a researcher, Dawson has dedicated his career to uncovering the forgotten narratives of humanity-from the lost cities beneath desert sands to the spectral voices of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Drawing on over two decades of study, Dawson's research dives deep into the shadowy domains of the Nephilim, the Anunnaki, and the Watchers of Genesis. His writings chart the intersections between biblical texts, Mesopotamian epics, and comparative myth, revealing startling connections that challenge orthodox timelines and conventional history. In the field, Dawson has pursued evidence across sacred landscapes-temples of Egypt, megaliths of the Near East, and mountain sanctuaries whispered about in apocryphal lore. Beyond the texts and ruins, Dawson is a storyteller. His voice-part scholar, part seeker-brings these ancient enigmas to life for a modern audience hungry to ask the deeper questions: Who were the gods of old? What legacies have they left hidden in stone and scripture? And what does their memory mean for humanity today? Through books, lectures, and his distinctive narrative style, Riddick Dawson has become a leading voice for those who walk the line between history and mystery, offering a bold vision of the past that dares to include what others dismiss as myth.
