Atrahasis and Sumerian Connections unlocks one of the oldest and most influential origin stories in human history. Long before the Book of Genesis or the Epic of Gilgamesh, ancient Sumerian tablets told of rebellious gods, the creation of humanity from clay and divine blood, and a catastrophic flood that nearly erased the world.

Produktbeschreibung
Atrahasis and Sumerian Connections unlocks one of the oldest and most influential origin stories in human history. Long before the Book of Genesis or the Epic of Gilgamesh, ancient Sumerian tablets told of rebellious gods, the creation of humanity from clay and divine blood, and a catastrophic flood that nearly erased the world. This book explores the Atrahasis Epic not as a myth isolated in time, but as the foundational blueprint of later religious and cultural traditions across the ancient Near East. Drawing from archaeological findings, cuneiform scholarship, and comparative mythology, it reveals how stories of divine labor, human purpose, and cosmic balance first took shape beneath the shadow of Sumer's ziggurats. Through a vivid and accessible narrative, readers will discover how themes from Atrahasis echo across civilizations: the clay-formed human, the divine breath of life, the burden of toil, the justice of the gods, and a flood sent to reset creation itself. This book traces the journey of these early ideas from Sumer to Akkad, Babylon, and beyond - ultimately influencing biblical theology and the worldview of millions. Atrahasis and Sumerian Connections offers a powerful look into the moment humanity entered the cosmic stage, revealing that our oldest stories still shape our deepest questions about who we are, why we work, and what the gods expect of us.
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?
